Is The Bible Archaic?

Writer: Landon DunnLandon Dunn

Numbers 35:2 Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them. “God has set it up that round about cities it be called “suburbs.” Man has continued on with this calling them such. Yet, we see man changing God’s word saying that the King James bible is archaic and therefore out of date. But, is it really? I think not! The truth of the matter is that the bible is very much up to date. The problem lies within man and what man wants to do with what God says. We see the term used “suburb” in describing the area in which the Levites are to live, and like so today the children of men live in suburb areas and in all areas. But, man has a problem and the problem doesn’t lie within whether or not a word is archaic or not or whether or not God’s word is archaic or not because God’s word is so far advanced beyond man that man is trying to find an excuse for his sin so that he can excuse himself from God’s written word and his judgment on man’s sin. Man doesn’t want to come to the acknowledgment of his sin and give an account, so man says in return “God’s word is out of date.” This is his way of avoiding God’s realization of what he thinks of man’s sinfulness and his sin nature written in his word. If a word or words or his holy bible is out of date to man then man believes he can continue on as he is without any accountability. But, if God’s word is true, then man is held accountable and has to acknowledge and give account to a holy and righteous God. There’s nothing out of date with God or his word! Man wants it to be because man is a sinner, and he loves his sin! When you get into the word of God sin is brought to light and is exposed for what it is. Man says the word of God is out of date, and changes it to another version something watered down and not offensive to his sin. Is the bible archaic? Is the word of God out of date? No! The word of God stands tall and is above any attempt of man’s disapproval to hide his sin before a holy God which man will stand before him one day and give an account of.”
