Rev 20:12-15 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Pastor King asked, "How accurate do you think those books are that we will be judged from?" The implication was obviously that they were absolutely 100% accurate. He proceeded to quote verses like Matt 12:36 "every idle word ...".
There have been 10-12 billion people on this earth since human records were kept. Most creation scientists speculate there were 20 billion or more who lived before the flood. So let's say there have been 30 billion souls since creation.
A .01 margin of error of 30 billion would be THIRTY MILLION souls. Greater than the population of ANY city in the USA. In fact, greater than the population of 49 of the 50 states (and almost the entire population of California).
I thought of how this would play out at the judgment.
Spirit: "Lord, thirty million souls were sent to hell by accident! More than the entire population of New York state! Some of them have been there for thousands of years!"
Son: "Oh my God! What a horrible mistake! That's more people than in the whole state of Texas! Father, what are we going to do about that?!"
Father: "Oh my ME! My justice has been breached, my infallibility has been ruined, my grace has been insufficient, my mercy has failed!"
Lucifer: "Hey, don't worry guys. That's only a .01 margin of error (you know, like that 99.9% accurate Bible you used to lead so many to Christ). A mere pittance in the big picture. We'll just tell them some people had to go to purgatory (since your grace is no longer enough). We can even cover up for the mistake by telling the dumb suckers that they have to pay to get their ancestors out of purgatory. We can make this into a good thing.
If the scripture has only a .01 margin of error, what's to say this scenario couldn't happen? If the Lord is only .01 inaccurate in preserving His word, it would stand to reason He'd only be .01 inaccurate in preserving souls. After all, His written word is "magnified above His name" and "more sure" than His actual voice. Could you be one of the thirty million mistakes? How can you say you won't be? By quoting a book you believe is .01 inaccurate?
You say, "But those books in heaven are kept by GOD, so surely they are 100% accurate! The scripture has been tainted by man."
Who said He'd preserve His scripture here on earth? That same God.
Matt 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Ps 12:6-7 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
2 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
If you believe in a 99.9% accurate Bible and a 99.9% accurate God who inspired it, you are playing Russian roulette with your soul.
