Comparison of Jesus and the Bible

1 Corinthians 14:33

2 Corinthians 11:3

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Psalm 119:130

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

This study does not come from reading books about the King James Bible, although they have been consulted on all sides of this issue.

This study comes from daily fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ and learning to live by “every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).

This study is also from learning what the Bible says about itself.

This study comes from a Pastor’s burden to see God’s people grow in grace and knowledge of Christ that has been entrusted to his care.

A liberal modernist said to me,

“Jesus is the word of God, not some book!”

I asked him, “Sir how do you know about Jesus?”

He claimed from the original manuscripts, of which he has never read, nor handled in his hands.
