“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 2:16-17
Oh, it is tempting to pick and choose from the bible like a buffet line. I will have a little "Judge Not" but none of that discourging "or you will be Judged". I take a heaping pile of "grace, peace, love" but I will leave that "turn the other cheek business" for someone else. I know I have certainly been tempted more than once to skip over parts of the bible that make me uncomfortable.( You know, like the entire book of Job. Which I HAVE read many times, even though I didn't want to!)
However, the truth is that 2 Timothy verses 2:16 and 17 are there to get us out of that buffet line of thought. If we don't fully stand behind this verse what reason do we have to even read the word. We, as Christians, must believe that every word is inspired and written by God. For it is through that truth that we equipped for the good work we are called to as Christians.
