More From David Jeremiah

A few years ago the deists denied the inspiration of the bible on account of its cruelty. at the same time they worshiped what they were pleased to call the god of nature. now we are convinced that nature is as cruel as the bible; so that, if the god of nature did not write the bible, this god at least has caused earthquakes and pestilence and famine, and this god has allowed millions of his children to destroy one another. so that now we have arrived at the question - not as to whether the bible is inspired and not as to whether jehovah is the real god, but whether there is a god or not.

But in addition to all the moral evidence against the bible, i will, in the progress of this work, produce such other evidence as even a priest cannot deny; and show, from that evidence, that the bible is not entitled to credit, as being the word of god.
Progress Credit Moral
Sad, indeed, would the whole matter be if the bible had told us everything god meant us to believe. but herein is the bible greatly wronged. it nowhere lays claim to be regarded as the word, the way, the truth. the bible leads us to jesus, the inexhaustible, the ever-unfolding revelation of god. it is christ "in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge," not the bible, save as leading to him.

There's another way to phrase that and that is that the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. it is basically saying the same thing in a different way. simply because you do not have evidence that something does exist does not mean that you have evidence that it doesn't exist.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
We are not to make the torah into god himself, nor the bible into a "paper pope." the bible is only the result of the word of god. we can experience the return of the word of god in the here and now, the perpetual return of the actual, living, indisputable word of god that makes possible the act of witnessing, but we should never think of the bible as any sort of talisman or oracle constantly at our disposal that we need only open and read to be in relation to the word of god and god himself.
