I know the difference between social righteousness & biblical righteousness! How about you?
Dr. Graham says "Humanity has always been dexterous at confusing evil with good. That was Adam and Eve’s problem, and it is our problem today."

Yes, throughout the Scriptures, God’s Word and His will are presented as inseparable. Because God’s Word perfectly reflects His character and desires, it serves as the ultimate, written revelation of His will for believers.

Submitting to the Lordship of Christ directly involves submitting to the Scriptures. Submitting to Scripture means aligning your thoughts and worldview (the lens through which you view truth and interpret the world around you) with the teachings of Jesus.

As the Son of Man, Jesus set us an example in His complete trust in Scripture’s reliability and in His submission to its supreme authority. Any person who claims Jesus is their Lord, yet rejects His testimony about the nature of Scripture is not submitting to...

If you hold Jesus in high regard, you must hold the Old Testament in high regard just as He did.

If Christians are to be consistent, they will approach Scripture in the same way as our Lord. Those who claim to hold Jesus in high regard but reject the Old Testament’s teachings are being inconsistent.

For the believer, the high view of Jesus toward the Scripture is the Christian view. For Christians, to follow Jesus means adopting His posture toward the Scriptures as the ultimate standard for faith and practice.

Jesus is God. And if Jesus is God, Jesus is true and speaks only truth. He who is truth, He who is the Incarnate Word of God, knew the Old Testament, believed the Old Testament, and submitted to the Old Testament as the true Word of God.

This being the case, in what sense can we call Him Teacher and Lord if we do not adopt His view of Scripture? Those who claim to follow Him as Lord should take seriously His view of Scripture. His attitude should be our attitude. Jesus asked His followers...

His promise that the Holy Spirit would lead His apostles into the truth, and those apostles’ declaration that they wrote under divine inspiration (2nd Peter 3:16) show that Jesus’ view of the Old Testament also applies to the New Testament.

While the New Testament was not written during His life, Jesus authorized His apostles to teach and write it, guaranteeing the truth of the New Testament through the Holy Spirit.

It bears repeating that Jesus viewed the Old Testament Scriptures as God's authoritative, truthful, and reliable word, necessary for life, which pointed to His own coming and fulfillment, and He upheld their ultimate authority even above man-made traditions.

In Mark 12:24, Jesus speaking to the Sadducees rebuked them for their wrong beliefs, by mentioning two main errors in their thinking, not knowing the Scriptures and not knowing the power of God.

He confirmed the creation of Adam and Eve, in effect stating what the Old Testament said about them was true. He believed in a real creation, a real Adam, a real Eve, and believed in the marriage that God had designed at that time.

Jesus held a high view of the Old Testament. He believed in every word of it. He confirmed the great truths of it.

When we look at the Scriptures we are seeing truth. Scripture does not merely contain the truth; it is the truth. Every word is truth. Jesus believed that all individual parts Scripture are also without error. Jesus accepted the truthfulness of God’s Word and we should also.

Because Jesus viewed Scripture as un-tamperable truth, He refused to contradict or set Himself above it. He perfectly fulfilled the law while correcting the misinterpretations and man-made traditions of the religious leaders, rather than lowering the standard of the written Word.

Here Jesus is confirming every word of Scripture is true & will inevitably be fulfilled. His view should anchor the Christian’s belief in biblical inerrancy, that the original manuscripts of the bible are free from error in all it teaches, doctrine, history, and scientific facts.
