Where in the bible does it say....?

Question

~that the Bible is the word of God.
~that the Bible is infallable.
~that god is all-knowing.

I'm not doubting that it's in there. I just want some locations. I hear these things stated as fact all the time, and have not yet encountered clear scriptural language to back it up. Please point me in the right direction.

Answer 1

the all knowing part .. you should read the psalms .... the infallable, well, its proven by what we already know in our spirit ... and the word of God ... Jesus is the living word ... read the beggining of johns gospels and 1st john ....

THE INFALLIBLENESS of Word of God- The quality of being incapable of error or mistake; entire exemption from liability to error; inerrability. No human being can justly lay claim to infallibility. This is an attribute of God only. And It is true that Biblecontains the Word of God and is infallible.

The adjective “omnipotent” occurs in Rev_19:6 the King James Version; the Greek for this, παντοκράτωρ, pantokrátōr, occurs also in 2Co_6:18; Rev_1:8; Rev_4:8; Rev_11:17; Rev_15:3; Rev_16:7, Rev_16:14; Rev_19:15; Rev_21:22

Omniscience--Scripture everywhere teaches the absolute universality of the divine knowledge. In the historical books, although there is no abstract formula, and occasional anthropomorphic references to God'staking knowledge of things occur (Gen_11:5; Gen_18:21; Deu_8:3), none the less the principle is everywhere presupposed in what is related about God's cognizance of the doings of man, about the hearing of prayer, the disclosing of the future (1Sa_16:7; 1Sa_23:9-12; 1Ki_8:39; 2Ch_16:9). Explicit affirmation of the principle is made in the Psalter, the Prophets, the ḥokhmāh literature and in the New Testament. This is due to the increased internalizing of religion, by which its hidden side, to which the divine omniscience corresponds, receives greater emphasis (Job_26:6; Job_28:24; Job_34:22; Psa_139:12; Psa_147:4; Pro_15:3, Pro_15:11; Isa_40:26; Act_1:24; Heb_4:13; Rev_2:23).

Answer 3

Bible is word of God: many authors of the various books of the Bible tyestified that their writings werre the recorded word of God, for example, see Revelations 1:2, Luke 3:2

Bible is infallible: I can find no scrpitres that say the Bible is infallible, but there are many verses taht say HOW it was written, and taht is by the hand of man, Examples: Malachi 3:16, John 21:24, and 1 Corinthians 10:7. There are many many more.

God is all knowing: Many examples again. Here are some examples: Genesis 17:1, Jeremiah 32:17, Matthew 28:18, Romans 13:1, Revelations 19:6, and Hebrews 1:3

Answer 4

Dan since you have already got some great scripture references I would like to attack Aquila.

I cannot refute the use of Bible/Verse scripture. But, since the Bible is a collection of scripture your point is moot. As for God calling out "where are you." Have you never played hid-n-seek with a child under the age of 5? You can hear them a mile away or see the blanket wiggling uncontrollably and yet you keep "looking." The only difference was this was more than a game. God wanted them to realize what they were doing and why they were doing it. In essence using that "wonderful" new way of thinking they just acquired.

So, back to you Dan, what I am saying is this: Scripture in the Bible is of God as it has his thumbs up, God did not allow flaws in (we can fight this one another day), God knows all save what he chooses to forget and that is sin washed under the Blood.

Dan read the before and afters of each scripture ref given and in other translations so that what others say will not be true. We do have an agenda but not in the way they make it.

Answer 5

The bible for you to have is the NIV Study Bible. It has a concordance that will take you to all the scriptures a given word is in. It is great for quick locating of topics.
2 Samuel 22:31 "the word of the Lord is flawless
Proverbs 30:5 "Every word of God is flawless"
Ephesians 6:17 "sword of the spirit, which is the word of God"
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell"
Hebrews 4:12 "for the word of God is living" the bible is not outdated as some claim.

Psalms 12:6. " the words of the Lord are flawless"

***1 Corinthians 2:13 the disciples were lead by the Holy Sprirt to write the bible and not man's wisdom.

Answer 6

I really like that you don't take peoples answers for granted, but ask for scriptural backup. That's so important. :o)

So let's see...

~ In 2 Tim 3:16 and 2 Peter 1:20,21 we find that the scriptures are inspired by God.

~ God's Son Christ said about his Fathers word "Your word is truth" (John 17:17).

God himself is described as holy (Isaiah 6:3). That means that nothing with him is unclean, sinful. In Hebrews 6:18 we find that God cannot lie. So his word would therefore be true, infallible.

And,

~ The Bible does not use the word 'all-knowing'. However that thought is supported in Genesis 17:1, Hebrews 4:13 and Revelation 11:17.

Answer 7

Because of Prophetic evidence, the Bible's Uniqueness and Unity, Scientific evidence, Historicity of Jesus, Archaeological evidence, and tells he Proper Cure for the Disease..we believe it to be true.

But what assurance is given us that they really were
led by the Holy Spirit in what they wrote?"
A. Jesus' promise - John 14:26; 16:13; Matthew 18:18;
Acts 2:1-4.
B. The Apostle's claim - 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter
1:20-21; 1 Corinthians 14:37; 2:7-13; Ephesians
3:3-5.
C. The miracles - Hebrews 2:1-4.

God exists outside of time, then God’s knowledge is also timeless — this means that God knows the past, present, and future simultaneously. One might imagine that God can directly and simultaneously observe the past, present, and future, and this perception of events is what allows God to know it all. If, however, God exists within time as well, then God knows all of the past and present, through direct perception; knowledge of the future, however, is perhaps dependent upon God’s ability to infer what will happen based upon God’s total knowledge of all factors which lead to the future.

Answer 8

Here ya go.... (on the infallibility of Scripture)....

16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, (2 Tim 3)

20Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. 21For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. (2 Pet 1)

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. (Ps 18:30)

45 When Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel, 46 he said to them, "Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. 47 They are not just idle words for you-they are your life. (Deut 32)

Answer 9

There is also the "fear factor" they use to back up that claim:

Revelation 22:18-19
"18For 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:
19And 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."

Believe it or die... I'm quakin' in my boots!! Like Mom always used to say... "Because I said so, that's why!"
Stop thinking for yourself, dude, God didn't give you that brain to actually use!

Answer 10

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

2 Peter 1:20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Acts 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

John 21:17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

The Bible doesn't say that our tanslations are perfect. It only says that the original autographs were inspired by God and therefore error free.
