QT 15 Jun 16, 1 Tim 3:14-15, Are we so blind as to be beyond saving?

1 Tim 3:14-15 (ESV) I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, 15 if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.

NOTE: Nowadays, even professing believers do not see the church or even worse, the word of God, as a buttress of the truth. I have listened to young believing adults who have bought the lies of our culture. They do not believe there is absolute truth or that the bible is authoritative. They believe that it is outmoded and doesn't apply to them. And so they must find themselves in an intellectual hell hole. Who then decides what is right and how does one decide what is right? Is it really the individual or the society? And how can anyone say anything is right or wrong, if it will change in 20 years? Who defines who God is? Is it the same persons or groups that decide on right and wrong now? Society once pronounced God dead and yet this culture sees some spiritual side of new age mumbo-jumbo that they feel they must pursue. Could it really be so much easier, that is, the bible is still authoritative and relevant in every age and time; and the God of the bible does not change, but is still the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? People will immediately jump up and say the bible is full of errors and contradictions, but I have to yet to hear one of those supposed errors or contradictions that stands up to scrutiny. Geisler has written an excellent book on his collection of so-called errors that he has gathered during his lifetime. And the most important fact is the resurrection, a historically factual event -- if any historical event could be fact -- the resurrection of a person who DID claim to be God and who accepted everything written in the bible. A man who taught of hell more than any other person in the bible. We need to wake up to the fact that the answers to life are right before us.
