Welcome to the world of cartographic errors, misjudgments and deceptions. Sometimes it’s the map that’s wrong—sometimes the blame lies with the map’s reader.
John Greenlee
And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times.
Psalm 12:6
Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
Psalm 119:89
All Scripture is God-breathed …
2 Timothy 3:16
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
2 Peter 1:20-21Most of the errors on maps are honest errors, but because of the way that cartographers would borrow from other maps, one cartographer’s error can end up in other maps for centuries.
Every word of God is flawless… Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.
Proverbs 30:5-6
The word of the Lord proves true.
Psalm 18:30
“When you received the word of God… you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the One True Word of God.”
1 Thessalonians 2:13
Sometimes it’s the map that’s wrong—sometimes the blame lies with the map’s reader.
You have exalted above all things your name and your word.
Psalm 138:2
You rebuke the arrogant, who are cursed and who stray from your commands.
Psalm 119:21
The arrogant mock me without restraint, but I do not turn from your law.
Psalm 119:51
When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his robes. He gave these orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Acbor, Shaphan and Asaiah: “Go and inquire of the LORD for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found.”
2 Kings 22:12-13
Josiah read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant, which had been found in the temple of the LORD. The king stood by the pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the LORD—to follow the LORD and keep his commands, regulations and decrees with all his heart and all his soul, THUS CONFIRMING THE WORDS of the covenant written in this book. Then all the people pledged themselves to the covenant.
2 Kings 23:2-3
If God spares my life, for many years I will cause a boy that drives the plough to know more of the Scripture, than he does now.
William Tyndale
I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything… May God help me.
…so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:11
