Note what Christ taught about the inspiration of the Old Testament: 1. Its entirety; the whole of the Bible is inspired (Matt. 4:4; 5:17-18). In Matthew 4:4, Jesus responded to Satan’s temptation by affirming verbal plenary inspiration when He said, man is to live by every word (plenary) that proceeds out of the mouth of God (inspiration). In Matthew 5:17-18, Christ promised that the entire Old Testament, the Law and the Prophets, would be fulfilled, not abolished. In fact, He declared that not even the smallest Hebrew letter, the yodh, which looks like an apostrophe (‘), or stroke of a letter, a small distinguishing extension or protrusion of several Hebrews letters (cf. the extension on the letter R with it absence on the letter P), would pass away until all is fulfilled. Christ’s point is that it is all inspired and true and will be fulfilled. 2. Its historicity; He spoke of the Old Testament in terms of actual history. Adam and Eve were two human beings, created by God in the beginning, who lived and acted in certain ways (Matt. 19:3-5; Mark 10:6-8). He spoke of Jonah and his experience in the belly of the great fish as an historical event (Matt. 12:40). He also verified the events of the flood in Noah’s day along with the ark (Matt. 24:38-39; Luke 17:26-27). He verified God’s destruction of Sodom and the historicity of Lot and his wife (Matt. 10:15; Luke 17:28-29). These are only a few illustrations; many others exist. 3. Its reliability; because it is God’s word, the Scripture must be fulfilled (Matt. 26:54). 4. Its sufficiency; it is sufficient to witness to the truth of God and His salvation (Luke 16:31). 5. Its indestructibility; heaven and earth will not pass away until it is all fulfilled. Nothing can stop its fulfillment (Matt. 5:17-18). 6. Its unity; the whole of the Bible speaks and witnesses to the person and work of Christ (Luke 24:27, 44). 7. Its inerrancy; men are often in error, but the Bible is not; it is truth (Matt. 22:29; John 17:17). 8. Its infallibility; the Bible cannot be broken, it always stands the test (John 10:35).

INSTRUCTIONS

Guidance After procurement actions, de-containerize inputs. Perform
measurement tasks on a case-by-case basis. In a mixing-type bowl, impact
heavily on brown sugar, granulated sugar, softened butter and shortening.
Coordinate the interface of eggs and vanilla, avoiding an overrun scenario
to the best of your skills and abilities. At this point in time, leverage
flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl and aggregate. Equalize with prior
mixture and develop intense and continuous liaison among inputs until
well-coordinated. Associate key chocolate and nut subsystems and execute
stirring operations. Within this time frame, take action to prepare the
heating environment by manually setting the oven baking unit by hand to a
temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Drop mixture
in an ongoing fashion from a teaspoon implement onto an ungreased cookie
sheet at intervals sufficient enough apart to permit total and permanent
separation of throughputs to the maximum extent practicable under operating
conditions. Position cookie sheet in a bake situation and surveil for 8 to
10 minutes or until cooking action terminates. Initiate coordination of
outputs within the cooling rack function. Containerize, wrap in red tape
and disseminate to authorized staff personnel on a timely and expeditious
basis.
Output: Six dozen official government chocolate chip cookie units.

A Message from our Provider:

“If it doesn’t lead to Jesus, it doesn’t lead to God”

There is nothing in us or done by us, at any stage of our earthly development, because of which we are acceptable to God. We must always be accepted for Christ’s sake, or we cannot be accepted at all. This is not true of us only when we believe. It is just as true after we have believed. It will continue to be true as long as we live. Our need of Christ does not cease with our believing; nor does the nature of our relation to Him or to God through Him ever alter, no matter what our attainments in Christian graces or our achievements in behavior may be. It is always on His “blood and righteousness” alone that we can rest.

B.B. Warfield

As to the Holy Spirit, if He is not fully God, the implications for salvation are again serious. Scripture teaches that the Holy Spirit regenerates believers and indwells and fills them, but if the Holy Spirit is a lesser God or no God at all, how can we be sure that He can do any of these things? Moreover, unless He is coequal in being and purpose with the Father and the Son, what guarantees that even if He tried to do such things, the Father and the Son would recognize his actions as appropriate and relate to us accordingly?
