 The Word of God is Infallible because it is inspired by the Spirit of God .
<p>
 The Bible is an historical account of God`s dealings with mankind.
<p>
 The Bible <i><b>contains</b></i> the Word of God .
<p>
The Bible contains accounts where the Word of the Lord was given. The accounts are told by men from man`s perspective.
<p>
It is important to differentiate between an account of an event and the Word of the Lord .
<p>
Since accounts contain the perspective of the Witness the account may not be entirely correct - particularly with Respect to motive and intent.
<p>
For Example , when a Parent Chastises a Child , are they doing it out of Anger or Love ? The Bible clearly Says that chastising a Child is necessary for the child`s sake. So, if the Child is being chastised for their sake it is an act of Love . If the Child is being chastised for any other Reason it is not an act of Love .
<p>
Two people looking at the same act of chastisement may conclude different motives. Each would Give similar accounts of what happened but ascribe entirely different motives.
<p>
How does this pertain to the Bible ? We must differentiate between <b>what</b> the Bible Reports and the <b>assumptions and conclusions</b> of the Witness or reporter .
<p>
Now this may seem sacriligious to the fundamentalist. But we must look at the two Scriptures below ( which are Infallible ) and Reconcile them with some other verses .
<p>
<p>
<dir>
 1 Jhn 4:8 <br><i> 
He that loveth not knoweth not God ; for <b> God is Love </b>.</i>
<p>
 Malachi 3:6 <br><i> 
For I am the Lord , <b>I Change not</b>; therefore ye Sons of Jacob are not consumed.</i>
</dir>
<p>
So God is Love and He doesn`t Change .
<p>
How then can we Reconcile these fundamental Truths about God with these statements from the Bible ?
<dir>
 Romans 9:13 <br><i> 
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.</i>
<p>
 Exodus 7:3 <br><i>
And <b>I</b> Will harden Pharaoh’s Heart , and multiply my Signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.</i>
</dir>
So, God hated Esau? How can a God who is Love Hate anyone?
<p>
And God hardened Pharoah`s Heart ? Was that Fair ( and Loving ) of God to force Pharoah to resist His Will ?
<p>
Using these Scriptures that appear to be inconsistent with Respect to the Character of God , we can Understand what Jesus meant in this verse:
<dir>
 John 5:39 <br><i>
Search the scriptures; for in <b>them</b> ye Think ye have Eternal Life : and they are they which <b> Testify of me</b>.</i>
</dir>
In this verse I have highlighted critical parts: ~think~ and ~testify of me~.
<p>
What we ~ Think ~ about something is different than what we ~ Know ~ about something. Knowing has to do with facts. Thinking has to do with perspective.
<p>
So, Jesus was telling us to search the Scriptures in order for our thinking to tend toward Eternal Life . You ~search~ for something that is not Right out in front of You , possibly obscured and may in Fact be hidden.
<p>
Here`s how I Reconcile what ~God hated Esau~ means with Respect to ~God Never Changes and He is Love~: <br> <br>
It <i>appeared</i> that God hated Esau. Esau was carnally minded while Jacob was more Spiritually minded. The Carnal Mind being enmity with God resulted in Esau not Receiving the Benefits of God`s Love . I maintain that God loved Esau but Esau chose Death rather than Life .
<p>
Here`s how I Reconcile ~God hardened Pharoah`s Heart ~ with ~it is not God`s Will that any Perish ~: <br> <br>
It <i>appeared</i> that God hardened Pharoah`s Heart . Moses could not rationalize how the Mighty Miracles did not Convert Pharoah. He <b>concluded</b> that God hardened Pharaoah`s heart.
<p>
Furthermore, it is possible that Moses did not understand that God could see into the future and report on what would happen.  So, he inferred that God would force Pharoah`s heart to be hardened.  This is similar to the incorrect Theology about Predestination .
<p>
Other verses corroborate the Fact that Pharoah hardened his own Heart : 
<dir>
 Exodus 8:15 <br><i>
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his Heart , and hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said.</i>
</dir>
To Believe that God picks and Chooses who He Loves impugns the True Character of God .
<p>
To Believe that God manipulates men against their Will impugns the True Character of God .
<p>
When the True Character of God is impugned in our thinking we cannot have Faith in His Personal Love for us and so unwittingly Divorce ourselves from the Benefits of Eternal Life .
<p>
So, search the Scriptures that testify to the Love , Compassion , Mercy and Grace of God . These are the ones that testify of Christ Jesus . 
<p>
You also need to be filled with the HolySpirit to be able to find Christ in the Scriptures.
<p>
<dir>
 John 15:26 <br><i>
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father , even the Spirit of Truth , which proceedeth from the Father , <b> He shall Testify of Me </b>:</i>
<p>
 Romans 5:1,2 <br><i>
1 Therefore being Justified by Faith , we have Peace with God <b>through our Lord Jesus Christ </b>: <br>
2 by whom also we have access by Faith into this Grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in Hope of the Glory of God .</i>
</dir>
Remember, the Gospel is <b><i> Good News !</i></b>     If it is not Good , it is not the Gospel .
<p>
Remember also that Jesus is the Truth .  This means that He is the final definition of who God is and what His Will is.  His command at the beginning of His ministry was to Repent - change your Mind about God .
<p>
Do not get caught up in the ambiguous reports on God found in the Old Testament . <br><br>
Look to Jesus who is the Author and Finisher of our Faith !
