Hi, Nyp! I think the old divines said it best when they wrote, "All things in Scripture are not alike plain in themselves, nor alike clear unto all; yet those things which are necessary to be known, believed and observed for salvation, are so clearly propounded and opened in some place of Scripture or other, that not only the learned, but the unlearned, in a due use of ordinary means, may attain to a sufficient understanding of them." (2 Peter 3:16; Psalms 19:7; Psalms 119:130) They didn't leave it there, they also wrote, "The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself; and therefore when there is a question about the true and full sense of any Scripture (which is not manifold, but one), it must be searched by other places that speak more clearly." (2 Peter 1:20, 21; Acts 15:15, 16) And, finally, my favorite, "The supreme judge, by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits, are to be examined, and in whose sentence we are to rest, can be no other but the Holy Scripture delivered by the Spirit, into which Scripture so delivered, our faith is finally resolved." (Matthew 22:29, 31, 32; Ephesians 2:20; Acts 28:23) In Him, Doc |
