Sinclair Ferguson: Thy Word Is Truth

The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are inspired by God; that is, they are "God-breathed." Because it is the Word of God, the Scripture is the final, inerrant, authoritative norm for faith and practice. Since the Enlightenment, however, the authority of God's Word has come under constant attack. Sinclair Ferguson explores how Christian leaders who are followers of Jesus Christ must hold fast to the inspiration, inerrancy, and authority of God's Word.

@@pristineclear8604 And the Big Bang theory isn't man made? I share your frustration with trying to be loving and patient with those that deny God. But the trolls that go out of their way to ridicule our faith are extremely hard to pray for. However it is a directive from Christ Himself so I must.

at 49:54..it reminded me of people teaching" I love lucy" and "Andy Griffith " for Sunday School lessons. What in the world was we thinking... they might have some place with moral situations..But should have NEVER been used as if..on par with the Word of God..I always thought it was a bad ideal,but it is time to repent for not taking it more seriously. Excellent sermon.

Wonderful! Wish R.C. Was still around beating him up over his accent 😂

[@michaeljmasseri973]

This guy's alright! I don't like those preachers that point their finger at everybody else's shortcomings... sin. We all fall short Only Christ was sinless And it's a grave sin trying to be perfect like Christ. Now we all know inside our own hearts when we use this as a cop out. But its not a preachers place to wag his finger at the congregation while looking down his nose at you. This guy doesn't do that. I'm just saying. This guy's good

The early worshipers of YAH were never called Christians. The term Jesus, Christ, Gospel, God, Amen, Christianity, Christian, Church and Bible were never in the scriptures until the Roman Catholic Church had began, and the fact is many people are not aware of this, and all it takes is a little research and you will see it is the truth. Many has tried to explain it as translation issues but when you find out the truth, you will see and understand that there is something much more sinister behind it. Remember that YAH (The FATHER) told us that the devil is the great deceiver. 2 Thessalonians 2: 5-7 5. Remember you not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6. And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time. 7. For the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way. What mystery was he referring to? It is the work of the beast spoken of in the book of Daniel and Revelation and the apostle Paul had already began to see that mystery unfold in his days. The early believers were called Christians or Christianos in the Greek and Aramaic manuscript but not in the Hebrew, the correct word would have been Mashach or Mashiyach which is what the disciples or Hebrews, Judah or Yahoda and early believers would have called the SAVIOUR. The word Christian and Christ originates from the Greek word Christos which is the Greek translation for the Mashiyach. Both words basically means anointed. Hebraic bible restored the word to Messianics. What most modern Christians don't realise is that, there was a deity by the name of Serapis who's followers were called Christianos or Christians. As early as 200 BCE there were pagan worshipers of Serapis that called themselves Christians or Christianos. At the Vatican there is a statue of the Roman pagan deity Mithras, with the words Christos Mithras. Mithraism was the main pagan religion of ancient Rome and became blended with the Messianics of Israel through the compromises of the Nicene Council headed by Constantine and his son Crispus. The iconic sense of Mithras in the Vatican shows him being born from a rock and slaughtering a bull and sharing a banquet with the god sol, which is the sun, thus we have merge with the early church of Rome and Mithraism and forming the RCC or the Roman Catholic Church. The early assembly of believers who were referred to as Messianics, would not want to be call Christians after the pagan worshipers of Serapis.

[@mikemccormick9667]

Obviously the early believers of God weren't called Christians. Christ didn't come until 2000 years ago. But I'll believe the gospel that says they were first called Christians in Antioch. I do believe the Catholic church is an apostate church. Any teaching that teaches salvation by anything but grace is false. That's what Paul was emphasizing to the churches.

[@monrowetoussaint8438]

Why would you accept to be called the name Christian after the false religion of the diety Serapis. Do you think the FATHER will approve of this. All where the name of the MESSIYAH and the FATHER was the Roman Catholic Church removed it in the King James bible and replaced it with these false name like Jesus, Lord, Jah and God. Do you know the name GOD came from the word Baal? Did you know that the word Amen is an Egyptian deity? Why do you think the FATHER YAH warned us in Revelation: Do not add or subtract in this book. Is because he knew the great deceiver would have done it. Also in Isaiah 52:6 he said I will reveal my name to my people and they will come to know its power. He knew the great deceiver through the Catholic Church would remove his name in scripture and the reason for this is even the great deceiver know of the power of the name of the FATHER and the hindrances it would have caused in his plan.
