"Impossible"???
adiamondintheson:
Den & I have just been studying on the foundational truths, http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,6452.0.html trying to consolidate some of our understanding so that we are more able to explain to others what it is that we have learned. We just came across the section that talks about "God Cannot Lie"...
Here is what Ray says in that article:
GOD DOES NOT LIE!
Let’s go through just one major point here about God and His work. Now I’m assuming that we accept the fact that there is a God. But first you have to accept that there is a creation and there is a Creator of the creation. I’m assuming that we all believe that there is a God of the creation.
I’ll ask the question here, does God lie? I want to give you this verse in the Concordant in Titus, because it really is worded properly.
Titus 1:2 in expectation of life eonian, which God, Who does not lie, promises before times eonian, (CLV)
The King James says, “God, that cannot lie.” But that is not what it means, that’s not what it says. It doesn’t say in the Greek that He 'cannot' lie, it says "does" not. It’s a negative, can’t - don’t. But it’s not that He can’t, but He doesn’t. God doesn’t lie.
Num 23:19 God is not a man, that He should lie;
1 Sam 15:29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie…
That is in a capital, it is talking about God. This is a Truth! You got to hang onto that. Under no circumstances can you ever let go of that Truth, it’s paramount. If you believe that God lies, then you might as well throw your Bible away. You might as well throw your religion away. This is paramount!
You say, ‘well teach me something new Ray, teach me something I need to know. Teach me something the whole church doesn’t know or believe.’ I am, they DON’T believe this. That’s why I’m telling you, you must believe this.
G o d d o e s n o t l i e.
GOD’S WORD DOES NOT LIE!
John 17:17 Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy WORD is truth.
John 10:35 …and the SCRIPTURE cannot be broken;
2 Tim 3:16 ALL Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
So the Scripture are true. They are true and they can’t be broken and they are written through the inspiration of God, who does not lie. Now have you got that point in your mind? Don’t ever lose that. This is your salvation, when it comes to you understanding the Scriptures and/or teaching others to understand the Scriptures or exposing those who contradict themselves.
We can now apply this TRUTH to ALL Scriptures. With just that Truth we can confound the mighty of this world and I’ll show you how to do it. This is not going to be a difficult study. But it is going to be maybe one of the most profound studies I’ve ever given.
Hope it helps you like it did the two of us..
