Christ’s
Authentication of Scripture
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 use the word scripture he is referring to the Old Testament
as the New Testament has not being 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
bed time fairy tales to children like Noah’s flood, Jonah and others, these are
real events that happened Jesus authenticated the truth.

“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 of 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)
