Many times I have heard scholars and lay people discussing the validity of the Bible being “The Word of God.” They have been taught that it is not the Word of God. So, at the end of the day that is their conclusion. They never come to the Word of God (the Bible) to seek out what it has to say but they come with their preconceived notions and try to read into the Word what they want it to say. They look for apparent contradictions to justify their position and they hinder anyone who wants to read the Bible for truth and application.
