NASB | 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God's will, both publicly and privately--behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; |
Subject: Can we say that all of the scriptures |
Bible Note: It is true that every word is profitable, etc., but not because we experienced it to be so. It is in the Bible because it is true. We never test the Bible by experience. Instead we test our experience by the Bible. ------------- "The use of the term revelation or reveal(ed) in reference to one's own understanding or teaching implies that those teachings were directly from God and thus infallible." ************* *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 or material, *inspiration* to the method of recording (recording, not perpetuating or preserving) that material, and *illumination* to the meaning of the record. I say again: *Illumination* is the ministry of the Holy Spirit which makes clear the truth of the written revelation in the Bible. 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). The use of the term revelation or reveal(ed) in reference to one's own understanding or teaching implies that those teachings were directly from God and thus infallible. |
