“fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10, ESV) This week has not been easy for me. I will not go into the details, because that would break...
“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...
The Inspiration of The New Testament In this final article on the inspiration of the Scriptures I intend to consider the testimony of the New Testament to its inspiration and the relationship of 2Timothy 3:16 to the New and Old Testaments. The Testimony Of The New Testament To Its Inspiration In the last article...
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...

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...
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...
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...
