Yah's Word the Ultimate Authority

God’s Word the ultimate authority

Joh 17:12-21 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled. (13) And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. (14) I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (15) I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. (16) They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (17) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (18) As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. (19) And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. (20) Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; (21) That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Jesus is praying to the Father, and prays for His disciples to be sanctified through the Father’s truth. How did the disciples teach the Father’s truth and prove that Jesus was the true Messiah? Did they quote from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? Can you imagine John saying, “Turn to chapter 1 verse 17 from my new book the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Me.”? Of course that didn’t happen. The truth that Jesus was referring to was and is the Old Testament. If “Thy Word” is truth why would Jesus abolish it? If we do away with the truth we are accepting a lie. Does God or Jesus accept lies? Could they ever accept a lie? The answer is, of course, NO!  ...read the full article here...
