One of the problems confronting some contemporary Christians today is accepting the infallibility of the Holy Scriptures. The truth of the matter is this: the Christian faith falls into disarray the moment the integrity of the bible is destroyed by any so-called logical argument. Glory be to God, our Christianity is not based on logic or human reasoning; rather, it is built on the wisdom of God and on the demonstration of His power. Hallelujah!. This is the foundation built upon by the prophets and apostles of the early Church. 1st Corinthians 2:4-5 says,
“And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”

Is it not amazing that right from the time of the early apostles, some people crept into the Church to argue against some of the fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith, such as the resurrection of the dead (1st Corinthians 15:12, 2nd Timothy 2:18)? It should therefore be no surprise to any student of the Bible that today, even some so called clergy do not believe in the resurrection of Christ. Paul, in 1st Corinthians 15:13-20, used the wisdom of God to present the truth about the resurrection and it’s significant to the Christian faith. Some people choose to ignore such presentations of truth, and consider them to be fables or allegory. The early Church succeeded in subduing many heresies because they held unto the Scriptures as the infallible word of God. More than ever before, the sufficiency of the Bible for doctrine, for reproof, and for instruction in righteousness is being questioned and doubted today. Thank God, the Holy Spirit knew this would happen, and He, in 2nd Timothy 3:16, declared thus to all those who will listen and be saved:
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”
People argue against Scripture passages that attack their ego or their weaknesses, they pick what suits them in  the Old Testament, like the blessings listed in Deuteronomy 28:1-14, but when they get to Malachi 3:10 that speaks on tithing, they see it as an outdated instruction to the Jews only. Moreover, some people jump at Philippians 4:19 and appropriate it to their lives as infallible Scripture, but when they get to places like 2nd Corinthians 6:14-18, they will claim such passages were written only for the Church at Corinth. Such people choose to ignore the words of 1st Corinthians 10:11. All these are signs of the end-times. Know this for sure: the word of God is settled in heaven, forever, Amen.
