A Mystery Revealed: Not All the Word in the Bible Is God’s Word

Hello brothers and sisters of Testify God:

Lately I’ve been confused about something, and I’d like to seek your help. I’ve believed in the Lord for decades, and I’ve always thought that the Bible was inspired by God. But lately, as I was reading through the scriptures, I was surprised to discover that the records in the Bible aren’t consistent. For example: In the Bible’s records regarding Peter’s three denials of the Lord, Matthew 26:34 says, “Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, That this night, before the cock crow, you shall deny me thrice.”

A Brief Talk on “What Having Reality Is”

Many times God has required us to be a person who has reality. Then, what are the manifestations of “having reality”? Some leaders or workers think that they have reality because they have meetings with the brothers and sisters every day fellowshipping about the truth and have resolved many of their passive states and many difficulties in the church. Some of the brothers and sisters who preach the gospel think that they have reality because they can speak about the three stages of God’s works quite clearly and have caused many people to accept God’s new work. Some brothers and sisters think that they have reality in the truth of living out humanity because they pay much attention to their living out of humanity before the religious people or when they newly arrive at a host home and have received favorable comments and praise from them. Other brothers and sisters think that they have reality because they have written several acceptable sermons or communication articles on the experience of life. And still other brothers and sisters think that they have reality because they have never committed any serious transgressions or have never outwardly done anything that obviously offends God or resists God, and besides, the brothers and sisters also have a good opinion of them.
