The Bible Needs To Change To Fit Society Myths About The Bible The Bible Needs To Change To Fit Society 2

Society’s Attitude Why should a 2000 year old book govern us today? The Bible is not a book of laws Original understanding of the Constitution is unknowable The Constitution must change as society changes There is no reason to allow the dead to govern the living The Constitution is not a law The Constitution is whatever the Judge says it is The Bible is whatever a person makes of it No one can really understand the Bible The Bible must change as society changes

An Actual Case In the Garden of Eden What God said (Gen. 2:16-17) Eve knew this (Gen. 3:2-3) The serpent (devil) convinced Eve to doubt what she knew & do otherwise (Gen. 3:1, 4) This business of changing the word of God is not new. It is as old as the Garden of Eden. It is also one of the devices of Satan (2 Cor. 2:11)

Examining The Attitude No one can really understand the Bible There are things that we can know (Jn. 8:32; 1 Jn. 5:13) Suffice to say that the Bible can be understood (Jn. 20:30-31; Rom. 10:17; Eph. 3:3-4)

The Bible must change as society changes Problem is that this makes man the master If the word changes, what about God? Does God change as society changes? Misunderstands the thrust of the Bible The Bible is not a tool of society The Bible is intended to save souls (Lk. 19:10) No such changes are indicated God does not change (Mal. 3:6) The Word is final (Matt. 24:35; Jude 3) Souls do not change though society & morals change (James 1:21)

Why should a 2000 year old book govern us today? Why should the seasons or the day remain the same? (see Gen. 8:22) Some things keep their power (Matt. 24:35) The Bible is not a book of laws What is it then? It has commands to obey, that sounds like law (Matt. 28:20)

The Bible is whatever a person makes of it May a person decide that 35 MPH means 65 MPH? May I decide Stop means Go? Why have any warnings then? (Gal. 1:6-9)

God’s Word, As It Is, Is Sufficient Whole counsel of God had been declared (Acts 20:27) We have all that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3) The faith has been revealed once for all (Jude 3) The Scriptures will make one complete (2 Tim. 3:16-17) There is no hint of any addition, subtraction, change or modification anywhere
