One of the biggest mistakes a believer can make is to doubt the accuracy of the Bible. Here are some main reasons why:
1. First of all, Jesus warned that if anyone adds to or takes away from the words of this book, God will blot his name out of the book of life. No one has the authority to teach that any verse does not belong or is not true. Revelation 22:18-19 New King James Version For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 2. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 3. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 4. You cannot separate Jesus from the word of God, Jesus is the word. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. 5. Jesus quoted scripture at least 10 times by saying "it is written..." He did so because the written word matters and it would not matter if it could not be trusted. 6. If he can cause you to doubt one verse, he can cause you to doubt any verse cracking the foundation that our very faith stands on. If one verse can be disreguarded then the idea that your sins can be even be forgiven, or that you might recieve eternal life could be in question. It's all or nothing. 7. Satan attacks truth by casting doubt. Example: In the garden of Eden Satan said to Eve: Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” 8. The word of God is a rock not clay. We can't mold it to fit our feelings or changing times. It's not flexible. You can either fall on the rock and be changed/broken or let the rock fall on you and be destroyed. Matthew 21:44 "And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.” unlock mysteries All books of the Bible were inspired by God and written by 66 authors at different times in different places. Yet when placed together they fit perfectly, unlock mysteries, compliment each other and do not contradict. (Yes people do twist the word and change it's meaning, that's why it's better to just read it for yourself. It's not that long of a book, and that'll give proper context. Rather than basing your life choices on someone else's opinion.) The prophecies of this book have been unfolding in the nation of Israel for centuries with many on the horizon and yet to be fulfilled. For example, the Bible fortold that Israel would become a nation again hundreds of years before it happened in 1948. A future event that Jesus spoke of is the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem, which could be at the doors right now. God gave the nation of Israel as a sign and proof to those who would believe, yet a stumbling block of offence to those who hate him. The choice is yours.
