Question, What is the central message of the Biblical Text and how is that being attacked today?

The Bible is the inspirited Word of God; Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” God created the earth and everything in it, period! The first two chapters of Genesis deal with creation and the rest of the Bible deals with the restoration of the earth and mankind after the fall. God created a paradise for our enjoyment asking only obedience. Not much to ask for compared to all that our original parents were given. However, man was given free will and it would seem has the same flaw as Lucifer, pride and the desire to become like God. Lucifer asked the same question then as now, “Did God really say…”Dr. Missler’s explanation of how his watch came together over billions of years is great satire on the theology of evolution; that this complex universe was some kind of a cosmic accident. God said He made man in His image. Those who say that we evolved from nothing demean the human race and, even worse, make God out to be a liar. And if God lied about creation, the rest of the Bible must be false.

The Bible is certainly under attack today by believers as well as unbelievers. Some who call themselves Christians claim much of Genesis is fables. Further, that many prophesies were written after the fact. If Genesis is mostly fables then evolution must be true. So if we came from nothing what does it matter if we kill each other or the tiniest victims of evolution, the millions of unborn babies sacrificed on the altar of abortion?

The Quran twists events in the Bible to fit their theology and often I hear the statement that Allah is the same god as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. As for me, I take Revelation 22 seriously. The Quran is a total distortion of the Bible, however, there are other religious books that attempt add to or take from the Bible. Like the Quran, “The Book of Mormon” was by revelation to one person by an angel. The Quran was given by a series of visions and The Book of Mormon came from gold plates. Both demean the divinity of Jesus and the Jesus of the Quran is much the same as the False Prophetic of The Book of Revelation.

In addition to unbelievers attacking the Bible there is a watering down of the Word of God by the PC Christians. Throw out the cross and don’t even think of saying that we are saved by the blood of Christ. Some churches even claim we can pray the departed into heaven. It’s time for Christians to put on the “Full armor of God” and take a stand for the inerrant Word of God.
