“Where are we to get our errorless Scripture? In the ipsissima verba of the original autographs? Who are to recover these for us? I suppose the band of experts in textual criticism who are year by year giving us the materials for a more perfect text. "If I am asked why I receive Scripture as the Word of God and as the perfect rule of faith and life, then certainly I do not answer: Because it is the slightly imperfect copy of original autographs, which, if I could only get at them, I could show you to be absolutely errorless writings. "I answer: Because the Bible is the only record of the redeeming love of God, because in the Bible alone I find God drawing near to man in Christ Jesus, and declaring to us in Him His will for our salvation. And this record I know to be true by the witness of His Spirit in my heart in and with the Word, whereby I am assured that none other than God Himself is able to speak such words to my soul. "This is the answer of all the Reformers, and it was also the answer of the Puritans – of Luther, and Calvin, and Knox, and John Owen.†--Thomas M. Lindsay (1895) viz "The Holy Scripture is the only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience, although the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men inexcusable; yet are they not sufficient to give that knowledge of God and his will which is necessary unto salvation. Therefore it pleased the Lord at sundry times and in divers manners to reveal himself, and to declare that his will unto his church; and afterward for the better preserving and propagating of the truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the church against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of Satan, and of the world, to commit the same wholly unto writing; which maketh the Holy Scriptures to be most necessary, those former ways of God's revealing his will unto his people being now ceased. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; Isaiah 8:20; Luke 16:29, 31; Ephesians 2:20; Romans 1:19-21; Romans 2:14,15; Psalms 19:1-3; Hebrews 1:1; Proverbs 22:19-21; Romans 15:4; 2 Peter 1:19-20)" 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith chapter 1 paragraph 1 |

Why insist that God no longer reveals His will to us? It is definitely a ministry of the Holy Spirit. To say this has ceased is to say you have no relationship with the Holy Spirit. In previously quoted scripture I gave multiple scripture showing the Holy Spirit Iis our teacher. If as a teacher it is not to reveal more of Christ us then to teach us what? Such nonsense to suggest the Holy Spirit does not give us new revelation of God is to admit ignorance of both the Holy Spirit and what scripture describes as His earthly ministry to us. |
