Kerry Duke: All of the Bible is God’s Word. The scriptures say in II Timothy chapter 3, verse 16, that all scripture is given by inspiration of God. Any part of the Bible should get our attention—the red letters or the black letters, the Old Testament or the New Testament, the genealogies of the Old Testament or the parables of Christ.
We ought to respect every part of the Bible because the Bible is the Word of God. We ought to strive to obey all the commandments that God has given to us. God warns about picking and choosing from His Word. In Revelation chapter 22 verses 18 and 19, the Bible warns about taking from and adding to the Word of God.
In II Peter chapter 3 verse 16, the Bible warns about “wresting,” and that King James word “wresting” means perverting or twisting the Scriptures. In James chapter 2, verse 10, the Bible says, “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For He that said, ‘Do not commit adultery,’ said also, ‘Do not kill.’ Now, if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.” I’m Kerry Duke, and that’s the Gospel.
