Today's Verses: Romans 3:3-4 (NIV)
3 What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness? 4 Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.”[a]
[a] Psalm 51:4
What Paul is saying here is that it does not matter what man does. God is always faithful and that his judgments will prevail.
Today's Comments: This morning in our men's' Saturday breakfast discussion group, we discussed inerancy in the Bible. Once any church opens up the Bible to literary and cultural criticism, faith is thrown aside and human reasoning and cultural consideration become the lenses through which everything is interpreted. Once that cat is out of the bag, man can now interpret scripture to mean anything that he pleases; truth becomes relative; and man can sin as he pleases, because he now interprets what God says is sin as being "right. for a particular cultural setting. We forget too easily that God creates the judgment criteria, not men.
I do not think that God would have allowed scripture to be errant, if he is truly interested in giving His grace to mankind, his creation of love. If we agree on this, then we must either assume that scripture is God given or is only the product of humans. I prefer to believe that all scripture is God given. After all, God would not want it any other way, because of His love for us.
