The Force in Motion
by James Fletcher Baxter
One of the "laws of nature" is called a Law of Motion which states that a force in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by a superior or outside force. A law of nature was created by the Creator, so we can know some things about Him by His creation.God, and His Word, is THE superior force in the universe. A mere created being cannot corrupt, thwart, or otherwise change what God has set in motion. (Lucifer failed that eternal I.Q. Test long ago.) We human beings can trust the Bible to be the pure Word of God. We can trust the Bible to be what it says it is: The Word of God.
Mere human beings could not have "authored" the Bible. No more than that my TV set can produce and initiate TV programs. A fulfilled prophecy score of 100% removes it from the list of literature authored by man.
It contains hundreds of precepts, principles, plumb-lines, and other criteria, given to man to measure the values of his options. Thus, he can have some vision about results of choices before he chooses. It is commonly called WISDOM because it transcends man himself and his abilities. Since man cannot invent Transcendent Criteria, we know the Standards in the Bible are not man-made. The Bible is God-made, and, its Prophetic Accuracy score is 100%.
Man, unlike the animals, does not have instinct for making decisions. He needs criteria and standards for measuring. God has made that available in His Word, The BIBLE. While man can make some criteria, he cannot invent a standard greater than himself. Only God has furnished that: Himself and His Word. They are the only Transcendent Criteria known. Man-made? Not possible.
I like the perceptive words of a great teacher of the Law and a Pharisee, Gamaliel, when he said, "And so my advice is to leave these men alone. If what they teach and do is merely on their own, it will soon be overthrown. But if it is of God, you will not be able to stop them, lest you find your selves fighting even against God."
A real Christian and a real Jew will not slander one another, for to do so is an act of disobedience and rebellion against God and His Commandments. Our own words prove whether we love Him and are under allegiance to Him. The Second Commandment is like unto the First. Disciplined troops obey their Commander. Obedience is better than sacrifice.
It is time to put away childish things such as the glib and eloquent pap of vanity and pride of knowledge. [Human knowledge: a fraction of the universe.]
Ben Franklin said, "Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other." The line grows longer...and the days grow short.
