Steven Lawson: War on the Word

The first temptation recorded in Scripture is an attack on the trustworthiness of God's Word. Such attacks have continued unabated to our own day. In the past, such attacks were usually made by liberals, but today we hear more and more doubts cast upon God's Word by professed evangelicals. In this lecture, Dr. Steve Lawson reminds us of the importance of a commitment to the authority, inspiration, and inerrancy of Scripture.

I wish all God’s people were so rooted in His word. Awesome sermon!

[@ChristoConfido1985]

This man is an absolute legend in the pulpit. He lets the Word of God speak for itself through him.

[@samvogel2368]

God has blessed me to grow listening to excellent preachers. Even be taught by a few good preachers. Dr. Lawson in my opinion is one of the best. He sticks to the Word. He has a high view of God. That is the key.

[@subjectsofthebible]

Without the inerrancy of Scripture, and the truth of the Word there is no hope.

Where are the young men that will step into these shoes and proclaim the WORD! Pray that the Lord raises up a faithful generation

Perhaps you brought Truth upon yourself, Alicrow, but I did not. I was brought to my L_RD screaming and protesting, having no good merit on my own to choose Him, no intelligence of my own so seek Him, no good thing to hold up to Him that could convince The Father that I was good enough to accept the truth. I guess those who disliked this teaching could have lied and lauded it. I wonder how many agreed with it here on the screen then went on to ignore it. I prefer the honesty of those who disliked it. They, then have a chance, and we can rightfully pray for them.

[@mildredallen8367]

This is a wonderful sermon. I do not agree however the Calvinists beliefs because the Bible says over and over that whosoever may be saved. Also I note that the Christians today do not come out of the world as they are to do and I believe that weakens the Christian's life. They are too worldly in many of the ways of our lives and if the Bible is true,which it is, we need to do everything His way and not ours. He has given examples of disobedience. May the Lord encourage us today to be more like Him.

[@people-are-trees5661]

Mildred Allen amen, I agree on all points, especially that Calvinism is unbiblical.

[@joshuatheo1419]

*whosoever that believes. Only the elect will be saved.

[@adddaniel2479]

The scripture also says in John 6:44 that no one can come unless God draws them first. Someone may pray to God for salvation, but they would never do it unless God drew them first. We see the actions of the individual, but God does the first work in their hearts and minds. Mat 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

[@edwardpearce9668]

"as we find ourselves in this generation, to hold the battle line secure for the next generation." Spoken by someone who can never see the kingdom of Heaven. This is the Anti Christ. Words of divine inspiration or more importantly Given of the Spirit are concise and cut like a two-edged sword. "All you who have good will come to me."

Jeremiah 6:16 (KJV) Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Immutability of God Unchanging infinite eternal,perfect, God does not mature or develop he does not get stronger or weaker or wiser as time goes on HE cannot change For Better or For Worse HE is infinite eternal immutable unchanging God is the same yesterday today and forever. We Blossom and flourish as leaves on a tree ,and wither ,and Perish , but nothing changes Thee. Self-existence God's has always been . Totally other. Not restrained by time space ,distance. Wow The Lord the Lord Yahweh, the compassionate and gracious God slow to anger abounding in love and faithfulness maintaining love to thousands and forgiving wickedness rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished he punishes the children and their children's children. God is both omniscient an omnipotent. A sovereign most high God that changes not. God Almighty AWSOME creator Almighty to save to the utermost. Sovereign supreme or ultimate power. synonyms:supreme, absolute, unlimited, unrestricted, boundless, ultimate, total, unconditional, full; Knowing God through Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour is Absolutely opposite of Knowing about GOD Just like WWJD VRS WDJD Finite verse INFINITE

There are so many different types of churches in my country and I don't know where to go for myself , my husband and my children. I need help.

[@johnshaffer2673]

Dude!!! Great question. Please look into reformed Baptist theology. This is what these men preach and believe. It’s rooted in scripture. You are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, by the blood of Christ alone, according to the scriptures alone, to the glory of God alone. The 5 Solas

[@NarrowPathDoctrine]

I agree Steven, the Word of God has been altered by many translations, including the NASB you're using. The KJV is the Word of God. The NASB removes so many verses and changes so much text.

[@iacoponefurio1915]

Kjv has many revisions because itnhad many errors and is not a language that is extant. No wonder you dont know or believe the bible. You blindly demand a version without having anything of it in your soul

[@michaelstanley4698]

The 'war on the Word' is more than intellectial theologians seem to see...a hundred versions of bibles keeps men from learning 'together'. Any teacher knows her students must be in the same TEXTBOOK and on the same PAGE...whatever happened to 'textus receptus' gratitude to God? He preserved it to unite men 'in the faith' (Eph.4:12,13,14)...

Did Adam and Eve die the day they ate of the fruit as the scripture clearly says ? Or did both of them live several hundred years after they ate of the forbidden fruit ? Doesn’t seem like they died the day that they ate the fruit , they had kids who I’am assuming happened after that day ?

[@chrisbeck4915]

They died spiritually and were separated from Him just like our sins separate us from God. (Isiah 59: 2).

If this word is inspired and infallible, why does the first chapter of genesis contradict modern cosmology and physics?

[@cavabramono916]

If this word is inspired and infalible, then the conclusion of modern cosmology and physics that you refer to here is wrong.

[@drintx5734]

Jistheman100 so funny that you imagine your intelligence to be above the word of God.

[@tedbull97]

I never said that I imagined my intelligence to be above anything. to call it the word of god presupposes a god . I said modern cosmology and physics contradicts what is written down in those first chapters of genesis.

[@tedbull97]

why do you believe/trust/rely on words that were written down centuries ago versus what is demonstrable today? If they are infallible words, why don't they show themselves to be infallible with what modern science can demonstrate?

[@CanIbeWithThee]

Jistheman100 Because modern cosmology is wrong and modern physics is mostly just theoretical. A glass half full is equal to a glass half empty. If we represent that as 1/2 E = 1/2 F and multiply each side by two we have E = F. The numbers work but a full glass is clearly not equal to an empty glass.
