    To my knowledge the question asks if the Bible has authority as the word of God, the laws for Christians to live by. The answer is yes. Much investigation has been put into the authenticity of the Bible. There have been numerous debates, assumptions, and theories as to whether or not the Bible was altered by certain faiths. The Bible is authored by over forty disciples from different walks of life, written in over more than fifteen hundred years, it was written on three different continents (Africa, Asia, and Europe), written for various reasons, and then pieced together after careful considerations to time and geography. With all of these factors the message remains unified without contradiction. I know of no other book that has endured so much only to come together in such a profound manner, this gives the Bible authority. The Old Testament offers prophecies of Jesus Christ that were revealed as true in the New Testament, this gives the Bible authority. These are not the only prophecies to be revealed, there are many more. 2 Peter 1:21 states, "No prophecy was ever made by an act of human will but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." Jesus had…

    The Bible has authority in it as being the word of God. The authority the Bible comes from God that is given to the people by an inspiration and revelation by the power of the Holy Spirit from God. God said in His word that He is the Great I Am. Inspiration is nothing more than a revelation, or shall I say, a mere comforting and confirming word from God. As it states in John 16:33 "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace, in this would you will have trouble. But take heart; I have overcome the world." Once inspiration has been given then we move into inerrancy; which is not demonstrable. This teaches you how to interpret things correctly. It helps us to tap into our faith to learn the hidden miracles and treasures that God has in the Bible. This is why it is very important, according to Proverbs 3:5-6 "to trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct thy paths." In defending inerrancy I chose to stand behind the Biblical Argument because as it states in Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, 2nd ed; “The scriptures are the breath of god; which guaranteed they are without error." John 1:1 reads "In the beginning was the word, the word was with God, and the word was God." Just as God blew His (Ruah) breath into Adam to bring life to him; He did the same to the word when Jesus came down to the earth in the form of a baby. God is not a man that He should lie. He said in His word that Heaven and earth shall pass away but His word shall remain forever. The historical argument speaks from the church perspective as it related to doctrines and traditions such as the Sadducees and the Pharisee’s in the Old Testament as it pertained to the Sabbath. Nevertheless, epistemologies arguments have to be proven. Look at the resurrection of Jesus. In order for Thomas, a disciple whom walked with Jesus, was…

    In general, all Christians regard the Bible as having been inspired by God and is thus a holy text. The expression of this view appears as early as the Apostle’s Creed states, “I believe in the Holy Spirit… who has spoken through the prophets.” Although this position is common within Christianity, its meaning has several nuances. For that reason, statements of faith from denominations or movements often quantify inspired with other terms such as inerrancy or plenary. Perhaps, it would be best first to distinguish what inspiration is not and second to see how theologians have explained their…

    Inspiration of the Bible

    • 1747 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Divine inspiration of Bible, its significance is taken out for one of the most important reasons is the usage of Bible inspiration as an important element in the Scripture. It develop together all the accounts of Scripture and provides the most with value. The notion of the disputes according the Scripture point and inspiration case is carried throughout Orton Wiley's Christian Theology. Wiley entered the dispute pretending to show the false meaning of the Bible . He clearly stated that "only three worthy monarchs, the kings have gathered a faith in their hands. It means that, they forced our Faith and put it into a false and unworthy position before God and man." (Wiley, 6). He put the strong critique and abuse towards the Church's prerogatives: "The Reformers themselves have fought earnestly to maintain the balance between the formal and the material rules of every day life. At the end the formal principal has superseded the material, so people began unconsciously to substitute the written, God-breathed Word for Christ by the Living Word. They have divorced the written word from the Personal God's Word and thus were put into a false position. It was no longer the guidance from God, his speech, the Spirit's presence, but just a recorded speech which bound men by legal rather than spiritual bonds. Nowadays people knowledge became formal rather than spiritual. The understanding of God became less true and real. It is not a consequence that Christ appeared to them as a historical figure, but not a Living Reality; and people sought more for a Knowledge of God's will than for God Himself. They gave more attention to creeds than to Christ." (Wiley 2).…
