Doctrine of the Holy Bible #

Introduction

Last week we noted that the church is responsible for doctrinal purity.

1 Timothy 3:15 — But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

We noted in 1 Timothy 4, there is 1. Bad Doctrine, 2. Good Doctrine, Then we must 3. Attend to doctrine (take responsibility to teach) and 4. Continue in Doctrine, not change, not be swayed.

Preservation of the Scripture #

Matt 5:17-19

Introduction

There are really two main lines of thought on the Bible.

Those who say, God preserved His Words in the original, and we cannot know where they are at. They are still trying to put God’s Words together. They are not complete. They are coming out with new Bibles all the time. Since the early 1900’s. I remember in the 1980’s when the NIV was the newest greatest Bible!
Those who say we have the perfectly Preserved Words of God today!

I. Promise of Preservation (18) #

A. God Promised #

i. The smallest part “not one jot or tittle” #

• Jot – the point of the letter I, or j. 
• tittle – a minute part – Hebrew letters are made of little dashes
• The fact that many Bibles are missing entire verses, so many of them have words that have been added… is completely contrary to what God said!
    ◦ The absolute smallest part of a word will be preserved!
• The King James Bible came from the Received Text, which the early church used.
    ◦ It is a family of texts, which there are many of them.
• The modern Bibles are based off a family of texts which were made popular in 1881, and have been modified since them.
