“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 |

The question has been asked where are we to get errorless scripture! I'm here to say scripture is errorless! The problem occurs when we refuse to admit we read with a bias, we interpret things dependent on preconceived beliefs. The problem is not the scripture the problem is the reader. We look for proof texts instead of the truth. We look for verses that support our position while ignoring the whole of scripture. We mock experience as meaningless even though it witnesses to the truth of scripture. We mock those that disagree as being unlearned or non thinking. We cite the quotes of men that lived sinful lives while ignoring the truth spoken to us by a sinless Jesus. We refuse to accept faithful teaching as not being scripture but will cling to doctrine/creeds devised by man. We must admit we have double standards! Salvation comes one way not through a creed or statement of doctrine it comes only through Jesus Christ just as Romans 5:18 to all men if they believe as in John 3:16 |
