Bible Question:
"...an insult to your infallibility"? "It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others" (Spurgeon). "My opinion, when I have Bible study, all other books except the Bible are put away. DL5" If all other books (except the Bible) are put away, then what you end up with will be *your opinion*. Since the inception of the Forum in February 2001 we have had to endure the frequent repetition of the odd idea that, although the commentators are not infallible, somehow certain forum posters are. (I have never said or implied that any commentator or Forum reader is infallible.) Often when one has no argument, he tries to divert attention from the issue at hand by attacking the scholarship or even the very character of the quoted commentator. Of course, no man is infallible. But one who has studied the Bible, say, 30 hours a week for 30 years in the original languages just might be better equipped to get at the meaning of the Scriptures than one who hasn't devoted that much time and effort. But, these self-sufficient ones reason, don't listen to men who've spent years and years studying the Bible in the original languages. Instead harken unto the many Internet self-appointed Lone Ranger Bible experts who overpopulate this forum. They seem to think the rule of interpretation is not sola scriptura (Scripture only), but is instead solo scriptura (me and my Bible). The following quote from Spurgeon answers these odd notions better than I've ever seen them answered. *************************************** "In order to be able to expound the Scriptures, and as an aid to your pulpit studies, you will need to be familiar with the commentators: a glorious army, let me tell you, whose acquaintance will be your delight and profit. Of course, you are not such wiseacres as to think or say that you can expound Scripture without assistance from the works of divines and learned men who have labored before you in the field of exposition. If you are of that opinion, pray remain so, for you are not worth the trouble of conversion, and like a little coterie who think with you, would resent the attempt as an insult to your infallibility. It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others. " - C. H. Spurgeon --Radioman2 |
