"Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became champions of them that were so used." (Hebrews 10:33 KJV)
"O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you. Don't let those who trust in you be ashamed because of me, O Sovereign LORD of Heaven's Armies. Don't let me cause them to be humiliated, O God of Israel. For I endure insults for your sake; humiliation is written all over my face. Even my own brothers pretend they don't know me; they treat me like a stranger. Passion for your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me." (PSALM 69:5-9 NLT)
There was something I heard yesterday, which I hope isn't true, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was. The whole point of the topic was to show the percentage of churches the actually believe how much of the Bible is totally accurate and true. The summery of the totals were astounding, I was overwhelmed by the results that were given! The sum total was far less than 50%; more like 35% for the Protestant churches, and less than 25% for the Catholic churches.
If you don't believe it, I would say to not try and figure out whether or not it is so; but just make sure that is not what you yourself might believe. Instead, just make is true to yourself, and never accept the words of other's that try to tell you it isn't all completely and accurately 100% true! Make it something you cannot be shamed for believing, if for nothing else, for the fact that it is God's written word!
You might be called a fool, but I would rather be a fool for Christ, than something who doesn't stand for God's written word! If you don't know this by now: God honors His Word, even more than His name...
"I worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your word above all Your name." (Psalms 138:2 NKJV)
