1 | What is "Inspiration"? -- correction | 2 Tim 3:16 | kalos | 58659 | ||
What is Meant by "Inspiration"? -- correction. Charles C. Ryrie (Th.D., Ph.D.) writes: "A Definition "My own definition of biblical inspiration is that it is God's superintendence of the human authors so that, using their own individual personalities, they composed and recorded without error His revelation to man in the words of the original autographs. "Several features of the definition are worth emphasizing: "(1) God superintended but did not dictate the material. "(2) He used human authors and their own individual styles. "(3) Nevertheless, the product was, in its original manuscripts, without error" (Ryrie Study Bible). |

2 | What is "Inspiration"? -- correction | 2 Tim 3:16 | serenetime | 58688 | ||
Hi Kalos, I agree, but then again not all men that claim they are men of God are inspired by The Father. They can say they are, but I feel by having a deep relationship with him through Iesous (Jesus) and a continuous strong prayer life and desire to know his Word with a deep understanding gives you a deeper understanding of our Father's letter to us. Then you get a confirmation in your heart by the Father that what this person is saying is Truth. It comes down to us being responsible of knowing what is false and what isn't. I feel that their are many authors out there are also being led by something else (not God) as to confuse Christians and leading them astray. For instance in Matt. Matt 24:5 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. KJV Their not actually saying they are Christ, but claim to (know) Christ, and are decieving many. That's why it is so important to study in depth for one's self. Phil 2:12 12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Do you feel that even in some churches out their there are shown signs and wonders that are not scriptual from men and women whom claim this of God? And also that claim they are not prophet's, and are not and are decieving many? Mark 13:22 22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. KJV "seduce" is translated- NT:635 apoplanao (ap-op-lan-ah'-o); from NT:575 and NT:4105; to lead astray (figuratively); passively, to stray (from truth): KJV - err, seduce. NT:575 apo (apo'); a primary particle; "off," i.e. away (from something near), in various senses (of place, time, or relation; literal or figurative): KJV - (X here-) after, ago, at, because of, before, by (the space of), for (-th), from, in, (out) of, off, (up-) on (-ce), since, with. In composition (as a prefix) it usually denotes separation, departure, cessation, completion, reversal, etc. NT:4105 planao (plan-ah'-o); from NT:4106; to (properly, cause to) roam (from safety, truth, or virtue): KJV - go astray, deceive, err, seduce, wander, be out of the way. I think this is pretty heavy stuff and should not be taken lightly, wouldn't you agree? I do agree with the styles being different per man of God, because everyone has an individual personality and way about them. Our Salvation is our own, and our's alone, and it's our own responsibility to know what is false teaching and what is truth, our lives depend on it. What do you think?

serenetime: I am confused. I thought the question was regarding the definition of biblical inspiration. Yet you seem to be discussing the character and qualifications of Dr. Ryrie. I was not aware that this was the subject. Grace to you, kalos |

Kalos I am not discussing the character and qualifications of Dr. Ryrie. I don't know much about him. I am speaking in a general sense overall of many. And I thought I WAS speaking on biblical inspiration! Sorry for the confusion. Serenetime |

Serenetime: Please forgive me if I have misunderstood you. If I have misread the intent of your post, then I am the one who is in error and I owe you an apology. However, I am still confused. You write: "I am speaking in a general sense overall of many." I still don't understand. Are you speaking of the human authors of the Bible? Their qualifications and character are not under discussion here, the canon of the Bible having been settled centuries ago. If not the Bible writers themselves, then of whom are you speaking in a general sense overall -- those who define the term "inspiration"? Again, the character and qualifications of modern (contemporary) authors is not at issue here. It is not my intent to accuse you of anything nor to put words into your mouth. It is just that I am still confused as to whom you are speaking of. Any clarification will be appreciated. Thank you for your input and interest. Grace to you, kalos |
