When God speaks, he speaks infallibly, authoritatively, and infallibly. No error, no error, and it is always authoritative. So we cannot look to scripture and say that God sometimes "screams" and sometimes "whispered" when it comes from the mouth of God.

00:00:00 All right, listen, guys, I get it.
00:00:01 Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04 because you're spending your cash and your lives
00:00:06 on raising young children
00:00:08 in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
00:00:10 Praise God for you and that endeavor.
00:00:13 However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing.
00:00:18 And one major way that you can help to expand
00:00:21 the reach and effectiveness of this ministry
00:00:24 that doesn't cost you a dime
00:00:25 is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28 leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31 Also, perhaps even more effective than that,
00:00:33 you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36 We hope you'll take the time to do so.
00:00:38 Thank you so much.
00:00:39 God bless.
00:00:41 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:44 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:47 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:52 It's important that we understand that when God speaks,
00:00:55 Please, please don't misunderstand this.
00:01:00 When God speaks, he only speaks one way.
00:01:05 When God speaks, he speaks fully authoritatively and fully infallibly.
00:01:15 Meaning, God, when he speaks, it is always infallible without error.
00:01:22 and it is always authoritative god never suggests so we cannot look to scripture different portions
00:01:33 of scripture and say that that god is screaming here and whispering there you've heard me say this
00:01:41 let me explain what i mean by that when god speaks he speaks infallibly when god speaks he
00:01:47 speaks authoritatively. Meaning there is never any error, any fault on the part of God when he
00:01:55 speaks. And there's never the option of taking or leaving it. It's authoritative. So when we say
00:02:06 that there are portions of the scripture that scream and others that whisper, we're using that
00:02:12 language simply to describe the historic doctrine of the perspicuity of scripture saying not that
00:02:18 God sometimes screams and God sometimes whispers but because of the finitude and fallenness of man
00:02:26 we sometimes struggle to interpret some passages of scripture whereas other passages may be more
00:02:35 easily discerned does that make sense that's what we're saying we're not saying that that god
00:02:42 sometimes speaks authoritatively and sometimes doesn't and that god most of the time speaks
00:02:47 infallibly and then sometimes there's a little bit of error that would be blasphemy no god speaks
00:02:55 authoritatively and he speaks infallibly but we as we listen to god's word we who are fallen we
00:03:03 who are finite will struggle to discern exactly what is being said there are some things that
00:03:11 are abundantly clear in scripture by god's grace fortunately for us one of those things is the way
00:03:20 to salvation but there are other things that are less clear and so that might also be an example
00:03:27 of where we perhaps would counsel.
00:03:29 Not saying that God is counseling in his word.
00:03:34 God is commanding something in his word.
00:03:37 But because we are unsure of exactly what that command is
00:03:41 and perhaps the church, the larger church
00:03:44 throughout church history has disagreed,
00:03:48 been at odds with one another
00:03:50 over this particular command,
00:03:52 we're going to present it more charitably.
00:03:58 But that doesn't mean that God is whispering.
00:04:00 It means God said something that we don't quite get
00:04:03 because of our sin and because of our finitude.
00:04:07 And so we are whispering.
00:04:08 Thanks so much for listening.
00:04:09 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor,
00:04:13 take a moment and leave us a five-star review
00:04:15 if you enjoyed the show.
00:04:17 This is undoubtedly the best way
00:04:19 that you can help us get this biblically faithful content
00:04:22 to as many people as possible.
00:04:24 Thanks so much.
