NASB | Romans 3:4 May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, "THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 3:4 Certainly not! Let God be found true [as He will be], though every person be found a liar, just as it is written [in Scripture], "THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED [by sinful men]." [Ps 51:4] |
Subject: Are all interpretations equal? |
Bible Note: There is no new revelation. The canon of Scripture is complete. "I'd put my confidence any day in the teacher who's tough enough and dedicated enough to have spent years in the study of the Bible as over against the guy who claims to have received his spiritual insights by some arcane mode of special revelation." --Hank (ID# 81725) I would have to agree with Hank. The use of the term revelation in reference to one's own teaching incorrectly implies that such teaching is directly from God and thus infallible. Revelation is the wrong term to apply to one's own spiritual insights. *Illumination* is the ministry of the Holy Spirit which makes clear the truth of the written *revelation* in the Bible. In reference to the Bible, *revelation* relates to its content; *inspiration* to the method of recording that content; and *illumination* to the meaning of the record. Notice WHAT and WHERE revelation is; it is WRITTEN and it is IN THE BIBLE. There is no new revelation. The canon of Scripture is complete and has been complete for approximately 2,000 years. Jesus Christ is God's final and complete revelation to mankind (Heb. 1:1,2). |
