"....the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever, is communicated to men. 1 Peter 1:23.
Many professed ministers of the gospel do not accept the whole
Bible as the inspired word.
---One wise man rejects one portion; another questions another part. They set up their judgment as superior to the word; and the Scripture which they do teach rests upon their own authority.
Its divine authenticity is destroyed.
Thus the seeds of infidelity are sown broadcast; for the people become confused and know not what to believe.
In the days of Christ the rabbis put a forced, mystical construction upon many portions of Scripture. Because the plain teaching of God's word condemned their practices, they tried to destroy its

He taught that the word of God was to be understood by all.
He pointed to the Scriptures as of unquestionable authority, and we should do the same."
