There is circulating at present a rather serious misunderstanding of the evangelical restriction of inerrancy (or inspiration, infallibility) to the autographic text and of the implications of that restriction. DeKoster claims that there are only two options: either the Bible on our pulpits is the inspired Word of God, or it is the...

Revelation
Defined Revelation- a disclosure of something that was before unknown; and divine revelation is the direct communication of truths before unknown from God to men.

DeYoung Gives 10 Reasons to Believe in A Historical Adam
10 Reasons to Believe in a Historical Adam In recent years, several self-proclaimed evangelicals, or those associated with evangelical institutions, have called into question the historicity of Adam and Even. It is said that because of genomic research we can no longer believe in a first man called Adam from whom the entire human...
Does Scripture Teach A Three-Storied/Three-Tiered Universe?
My online friend, Marv, says “no.” we see Jesus, quite literally, rising up, when ascending to the Father. Did he need to do this? Who knows? But He did. And we have the same upstairs downstairs theme in visionary revelation of otherwise invisible spiritual realities: Gen. 28:12, 17: is the a vision of Jacob’s “ladder.” In Rev....
From Whence Creation Science and Flood Geology?
Some say Ellen G. White, George McReady Price, and Seventh Day Adventism. Joel’s post here is an example. They are very mistaken. Dr. Terry Mortenson has written a book based upon his thesis that examines the writings of geologists who were not influenced by Ellen G. White, and who wrote before the birth of...
On Joel’s “Demolition” Of My Inerrancy Argument 4
Joel’s post is here. My responses 1 , 2, 3 “It is no surprise, then, that we find Scripture claiming to be true.” Scripture never claims to be true. It claims to be inspired. As a matter of fact, there are multiple places in Scripture which are false. Some places claim not to be...

Of Books And THE Book
But although we can learn from the history of doctrine and from contemporary theologians, the final answers must come from the Word of God itself. And I don’t think you need to look hard to find those answers. You don’t need to engage in abstruse, complicated exegesis. You need only to look at the...
Scripture Says, God Says: B.B. Warfield On Scripture As The Word of God
in our view, the very essence of the case is, that, under the force of their conception of the Scriptures as an oracular book, it was all one to the New Testament writers whether they said “God says” or “Scripture says.” This is made very clear, as their real standpoint, by their double identification...
