#D - Supreme
with no close seconds
God’s
Precious Word, the Bible, has and always will be, the supreme how-to
manual for all good work. That certainly includes our computing. That
promise is in 2nd
Tim 3:16, 17.
The
value of a fort or army
post is often determined by how many soldiers and equipment are
assigned to guard it or how hard an enemy tries to destroy it. We
know that God’s Word continues to be attacked in little country
churches, large nonspiritual colleges, and by Satan himself, for
centuries.
It’s
reported that Voltaire,
a French author and atheist (1694 - 1778), held up a copy of the
Bible in the air and smugly proclaimed, "In 100 years this book
will be forgotten and eliminated...". Shortly after his death,
Voltaire’s private residence became the headquarters of the Geneva
Bible Society and became a major distribution hub for the very Bible
he assigned to extinction.
None
of man’s computer manuals contain lessons that promise life, love,
peace, and purpose.
The supremacy and credentials of God’s Computer Manual, the Bible, are
so much more powerful it includes two warnings in the closing four
verses. Just think of it, a computer manual that pronounces plagues
and devastation away from God’s provisions, for anyone that tampers
with the contents.
For
I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of
this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto
him the plagues that are written in this book: And
if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this
prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and
out of the holy city, and from
the things which are written in this book. Rev 22:18,19
Other
books explain the purpose of the Return key on the keyboard. But
doesn’t say anything about why God has given mankind it in the
first place.
So
critical are its principles of life and computing, that God has given
us a part of Himself, the third person of the godhead, the Holy
Spirit to teach us and participate in our ‘on-the-job’ training.
Why
do you think it’s so important not to add to, or take away any
words of the Bible?
