Bible Note: Yes, there is no magisterium, there aren't even individual mystical authorities. So that's a very good comment... and the old divines addressed it very well! "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 and known by other places that speak more clearly. "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 Spirit speaking in the Scripture." --Westminster Confession of Faith I.IX-X Isn't that cool? They even subjected themselves to Sola Scriptura! That goal is what we all must pursue, precisely as Paul instructed in Ephesians 4. I have been so grateful to our gracious host, the Lockman Foundation, for maintaining this high view of Scripture despite so much resistance to it. |
