Idx: Divine Authority in Scriptures

Divine Authority

The issue of divine authority is strongly attacked by liberals and others. The issue revolves around the simple point, if God did not really give us the Bible, then it has no authority. A secondary issue comes into play, if the Bible is not really inspired, then errors exist in it, and it has no confidence nor authority for us. The motive of people attacking the Bible in this way is to remove the divine authority from Scripture. Since these people are not “big enough” to go against God “nose to nose” sort of speak, they destroy the authority inherent in Scripture, and that causes them to escape its wrath for disobeying it. The entire issue of Divine Authority in Scripture is not really, whether God inspired the Bible or not, but evil people who do not want to accept what God has said in it. Read more

Idx: Canonicity

Highly Recommended Link: Bible Research – The Canon of Scripture. Has information on the disputed books.

Canon (Canonicity) – deals with the reason why certain books are included in the Bible. The importance of this is in defending what books we include in “our Bible”, and defending why certain other books are excluded. The canon of Scripture is as important as Inspiration of Scripture, because without a definite reasonable and sound argument as to why we believe these books and only these books are the whole of Scripture, we fall to the weakness of excluding books which we disagree with their teaching, or including non-inspired works which favor our religious views.

Inherent in this issue is the pressing question of why certain things are excluded. Today the Pentecostal movement has made their preaching and proclamations of new doctrine equal with Scripture, and other groups such as the Jehovah’s Witnesses do the same with their writings, and Seventh Day Adventists do the same with the works of Ellen White, and the list can go on infinitely.

Canon settles the question of what is authoritative and from God, defining the limits of what we accept as “God’s Word.” Idx: Canonicity

Idx: Higher Criticism

Posted by David Cox on September 28, 2022
Posted in High Criticism • index  | Tagged With: ,

Higher Criticism is a tendency within liberals and others that interpret the Word of God towards human rational explanations instead of accepting the miraculous obvious presentation of Scripture. This tendency also extends to attacking the proposed biblical authors of Scripture, typically moving prophecies to dates after their prophecy making them history presented as prophecy, and other such maneuvers to remove the miraculous or offensive (to their way of thinking) in the Bible so that their version of Christianity is less offensive.

Divine Revelation-Prophecy

Revelation – refers to the momentary communication between God and individual men of God (prophets) when God first reveals His message to mankind. This revelation was consummated in the giving of the Holy Scriptures, and today there is not a continuing on going revelation of new material to us.
