Shepherding Words (7) | Reading Only the ‘Pure Word’ – A Dangerous and Unbiblical Notion

Finally, be empowered in the Lord and in the might of His strength. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil, For our wrestling is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:10-13.

As believers who love the Lord and who are standing for His testimony, we must not be ignorant of the schemes of God’s enemy in his attacks on the church. In order to help educate and inoculate us against such attacks, the co-workers in North America have released a series of articles on ShepherdingWords.com, which expose the stratagems of the devil.

This week, we have a narration of the article entitled “Reading Only the ‘Pure Word’ – A Dangerous and Unbiblical Notion,” originally published on March 23, 2021. On the surface, the notion of reading only the “pure word” without man’s interpretation seems admirable. In actuality, however, this notion is unbiblical, impractical, and even dangerous. Using examples from the Bible and church history, this article clearly explains the errors of this notion and presents a proper and balanced approach to understanding the Bible.

May the Lord supply us through this speaking and equip us to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
