The Word:
The Bible, the Word of God is the key to all we believe. To waffle in your thinking on the accuracy and authority of the Word, is to disrupt your relationship and walk with God. Your commitment to the Word is a key to your walk with Christ.

1:8 “This book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it by day and by night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall act wisely”.
1Pe 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living Word of God, and abiding forever.

c. If you don’t embrace inerrancy are you declaring your opinion as more accurate than God’s?
d. Since Jesus quoted the bible often, what are we to conclude?
6. Do you have problems of squaring the bible with the archeologist?

9. Can you defend that the book you call the Bible as the Word of God?
10. Do you believe that the Bible is the most effective book on how to live life?
11. To advance my thinking on this subject my next step is..?
