Christ’s Authentication of Scriptures

By Nick Bibile

Scripture cannot be broken

 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken— (John 10:35)

According to Jesus it is impossible for scriptures to be deleted or annulled. We cannot deny the authority of scriptures.

When Jesus uses the word scripture he is referring to the Old Testament as the New Testament has not been written yet.  Christ asked his opponents have you not read (Scriptures) Matthew 12:3;21:16,  22:31)

Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. (Matthew 5:17-18)

Again Jesus is referring to the Law, not even a small dot will pass away from the scriptures.

But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void. (Luke 16:17)

Sometimes people tell bedtime fairy tales to children like Noah’s flood, Jonah and others, these are real events that happened Jesus authenticated the truth.

On Creation

 “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? (Matthew 19:4-5)

Cain - Abel

so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah,[a] whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. (Matthew 23:35)

Noah’s flood

 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.  (Matthew 24:37)

Sodom and Gomorrah

Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town (Matthew 10:15)

Fish swallowing Jonah

For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. (Matthew 12:40)

Jesus repeatedly used scripture against Satan’s temptations saying, “It has been written” showing the authority of scripture. (Matthew 4:4-10)

Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament. And Christ said, it’s from God.

He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, (Matthew 19:4)

Jesus mentioned himself written in the Old Testament.

 Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” (Luke 24:44)
