Here are some excerpts from THE CHICAGO STATEMENT ON BIBLICAL INERRANCY with my own inquisitive interjections regarding these portions. In other words, I would like to learn more on the subject. - "Article I We affirm that the Holy Scriptures are to be received as the authoritative Word of God. We deny that the Scriptures receive their authority from the Church, tradition, or any other human source." I personally surmise that the authority of the ancient Church plays a vital authoritative role here, as slightly similar to the Catholic doctrines, although I do not place that same faith in the authority of our modern day church. I surmise that God is higher than the original authors of scripture and that the original authors of scripture are higher than the scriptures themselves. - "Article IV We affirm that God who made mankind in His image has used language as a means of revelation. We deny that human language is so limited by our creatureliness that it is rendered inadequate as a vehicle for divine revelation. We further deny that the corruption of human culture and language through sin has thwarted God's work of inspiration." I surmise that human languages such as hebrew/greek, english/spanish are imperfect in their conveyance of divine revelation, and therefore fail to innerantly express the totality of divine truth. However, in contrast, I also surmise that the original revelations imparted to the authors of scripture originate from the Holy Spirit, and that the Holy Spirit witnesses the truth through the written scriptures, notwithstanding the imperfections of the languages which compose the written texts. The Holy Spirit conveys spiritual witness of the gospel directly to our human spirit, and not through the vehicle of the psyche via written texts. However, the written texts are vital to quicken our mortal psyches to a conscious awareness of doctrines. - "Article V We affirm that God' s revelation in the Holy Scriptures was progressive. We deny that later revelation, which may fulfill earlier revelation, ever corrects or contradicts it. We further deny that any normative revelation has been given since the completion of the New Testament writings." I surmise that, although this article denies the current existence of inerrant scripture outside of the bible, that it does not however deny the potential for new divine scriptures to be written in the future at some point, in accord with the view of progressive revelation. - Would my personal surmising on these particular matters be accurate or inaccurate? ---- And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14 NAS95) - Reighnskye |

Doc, I don't mean to be entirely rude here, but I did a recent quickscan through about fifty of your most recent posts, and I think ten percent even attempt to utilize any scriptures. I'd prefer that you would not be so quick to reply to my posts, if you do not intend to discuss scripture. I feel that we are no more than philosophizing. And I have absolutely no desire to do that. if we're just going to exchange witty comebacks, I have absolutely no desire to discuss these issues with you. Again, not to be rude. - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Doc, You stated: "Look back at more than the last fifty of my posts. This is well trodden ground." - Except for the fact that you're speaking with others now. I have no desire to read through your last 800 posts to ascertain the basis of your stance. Also, newer persons may enter into the forum at times (as I have), who have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, without your scriptural basis. A key word is accomodation. And it would fulfill the policy guidelines for the forum as well to include scripture, as opposed to witty comments of debate. I am not here to discuss the veracity of your doctrines, but I am rather here to discuss the scriptures themselves. We have a big difference in our focus, it would seem. I recall that when I had first entered into this forum, you had used a fair amount of scripture, true. You have since declined from this, it seems. Not a good direction. If you are going to make a case for law, perhaps it's a good idea to adhere to basic forum guidelines to start. Use scripture when you present something, and don't just rely on your posts from last month. Again, if you do not wish to discuss the scriptures with me in this forum, then please do not address me here. I had noticed your disclaimer in your profile that you like to pontificate. I have no desire to do this with you. Please adhere to the forum guidelines and use a bit more scripture with your posts. Thank you. - Heb 13:22 But I urge you, brethren, bear with this word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |
