God-breathed

Tuesday October 23rd, 2 Timothy 3: 14-17 But don't let it faze you. Stick with what you learned and believed, sure of the integrity of your teachers—why, you took in the sacred Scriptures with your mother's milk! There's nothing like the written Word of God for showing you the way to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us. Every part being God-breathed is not the same as every word being infallible. God-breathed scripture means that when you immerse yourself in the word, you find God in every turn of phrase and nuance. Most don’t immerse themselves in the word and are therefore open to being sucked in and ripped off by the rapture racket. The Gospels tell us to love God and love others, the rapture racket tells you that you can leave this place and those who don’t see things your way can go to hell, literally. The Gospel tells us to love our enemies and pray for them, the rapture racket tells us to convert or kill them. The Gospel is about us, the rapture racket is about “me.” “ME” is what original sin and everyday sin is all about. The task God has before you is about love. Amo Ergo Sum!
