Bible Note: Greetings, Ed, A couple of quotes from the Confession: Chapter 1. "VII. 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 the ordinary means , may attain unto a sufficient understanding of them.... "IX. 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 maifold, but one), it must be searched and known by other places that speak more clearly." I agree with these statements and therefore believe that anyone can pick up a Bible in their own language and read it and understand enough of it to be saved. Further, no outside source is necessary to gain a sufficient understanding of what God has inspired. He knew when He inspired it that His church (OT and NT) would need it and use it until judgement day. So what it teaches as our rule of faith and obedience is universal. Outside sources can be used, but the only infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is Scripture itself. |
