God is a Liar December 12, 2016

Did today's title get your attention?  I hope so since it was designed to do just that.

As a Southern Baptist, I am surrounded by people who claim to believe every word of today's Bible.  No allowance is made for transnational errors.  No room for various interpretations.  But for many of those staunch "inerrenitists" their lives do not reflect their supposed belief system.  Six day of creation.  Homosexuals are damned.  Women deacons?  Forget about it!

Do they truly life lives that rely completely on God's provision?  The Bible promises all our needs will be provided by God, but we still greedily hoard stuff.  Many scripture warns against the unbridled tongue, but the halls of churches are filled with hushed conversations. If a brother asks for your shirt, give him your coat as well?!  No way.

To many the Bible is perfect except when it causes discomfort and sacrifice.  Then perhaps, there is some wriggle room for interpretation.

If all scripture is 100% literal, then all scripture must be followed to the letter.  Can't have it both ways.
