These are simply notes. They are not intended to be an article, but are rather just some notes I gathered along the way as I studied the particular passage. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the...
A Brief Theology of Inspiration In previous articles we saw that Jesus and the apostles viewed the Old Testament Scriptures as the authoritative Word of God. It is my aim in the next few articles to consider the doctrine of inspiration. As we do so, we shall briefly look back over the Old...
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...

I do mean to be harsh. First, read Jason’s post. Normally, I reserve my harshness but when I read statements like this, I cannot help but to return kind for kind, Ultimately it is the inerrantist who is seeking to yield to the Lordship of Christ on the issue of the nature of...
