If settled right

“By the Bible all men, all creeds, all nations, and all problems must be settled, if settled right.”

Among the “Five Sources of Evidence” that the Bible is inspired, E. C. Gillentine lists first “The Indestructibility of the Bible.”

“The Bible is absolutely incapable of being destroyed. It cannot be shaken or changed—it is the ‘Rock of Ages.’ It is one Book, every word in it is essential. Jesus said, ‘Not one jot or tittle shall pass away until all shall be fulfilled,’ Matt. 5:18. ‘Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away,’ Mark 13:31. The Lord hath set His seal to it, ‘The Scriptures cannot be broken,’ John 10:35. The Scripture cannot be set aside, whatever it says is true. ‘And he said unto them, ‘These are the words which I spake unto you while I was with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and in the psalms concerning me,’ Luke 24:44. Whatever Moses, the prophets, and David wrote was true. It must be fulfilled. ‘The word of God which liveth and abideth for ever.’ I Peter 1:23.”
