Scripture: God’s Inerrant Word Given Through Men

  “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is...

Plutarch, θεόπνευστος, And Scripture

θεόπνευστος is not seen much outside of Scripture, we are told. In fact, most who examine the issue find that Plutarch figures prominently in the use of the word outside of Scripture. Let’s notice Plutarch’s use of θεόπνευστοs: ΠῶΣ ὌΝΕΙΡΟΙ ΓΊΝΟΝΤΑΙ. Δημόκριτος τοὺς ὀνείρους γίνεσθαι κατὰ τὰς τῶν εἰδώλων παραστάσεις. Στράτων ἀλόγῳ φύσει τῆς...

Notes on 2Timothy 3:16-4:5,Theopneustos, And The Word of God

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...

Toward a Word-Centered Ministry

January 13, 2012
By

Faithful Christian ministry is all about the Word. The pastor delivers it. Announces it. Explains it. Indoctrinates with it. Warns with it. Defends with it. Reminds of it. Applies it. He isn’t an executive, a manager, or a marketing specialist. He’s a teacher. Yes, he provides an example and builds strong relationships, but the...

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...

Inerrancy: The Apostolic View Of Scripture

  Having examined the view of Jesus and the Evangelists, we now turn to the remainder of the New Testament to learn of the Apostle’s view of the Scriptures. It will only be possible to highlight this, due to space constraints. We shall see, however, that the Apostolic view of the Scriptures was a...
