Sword and Editor Misrepresented On Textual Issue
Editor Responds in March 6 Issue of the Sword of the Lord

What one believes or does not believe about the Bible is a matter of the utmost importance. We have stated again and again what we believe and why we believe it. Nonetheless it must be done again periodically.

Article one of our statement of faith always available at www.swordofthelord.com says it very clearly:

WE BELIEVE the Bible, the Scriptures of the Old Testament and the New Testament, preserved for us in the Masoretic text (Old Testament), Textus Receptus (New Testament) and in the King James Bible, is verbally and plenarily inspired of God.  It is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, and altogether authentic, accurate and authoritative Word of God, therefore the supreme and final authority in all things (II Tim. 3:16-17; II Peter 1:21; Rev. 22:18-19).

In February, however, we were drawn into a controversy that has been simmering just below the boiling point for a year when we were misrepresented on the website of the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana. 

You’ll want to see the March 6, 2009 edition of the Sword of the Lord in which the Editor corrects the misrepresentation and makes a strongly worded declaration of our case for the authenticity of the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God fully preserved for us today as our statement of faith so clearly asserts.
