Question #18 -
QUESTION:
Someone said, "The King James Bible is the word of God
because I got saved through it!" Is that statement correct?
ANSWER:
No.
EXPLANATION: The
Bible is infallible and perfect without any influence by any
sinner. By accepting Christ as our personal Saviour we impart
nothing to Scripture, though God imparts eternal life to us.
Many have been led to Christ by someone using
other versions. I once spoke with a man who vehemently claimed
that the Good News For Modern Man was the infallible Word
of God because someone had led him to Christ
using it. Wrong! His getting saved through a Good News For
Modern Man did not correct so much as one of
the many gross inaccuracies in that version.
I have a friend who believes the Bible (KJV) to
be the infallible, perfect Word of God. Yet he himself was led to
Christ by someone using a Living Bible. Did the Living
Bible become the infallible Word of God the moment he
believed? Of course not. It never was perfect and never will be.
But if it did become perfect because he got saved
through it, would it not have lost its perfection
when he chose to use the King James?
So we see that the Bible, King James of course,
is the infallible, perfect Word and words of God regardless of
what someone used to lead you or me to Christ. In fact, it would
still be the perfect infallible Word and words of God, even if we
hadn't gotten saved at all.
