Subject: All Scriptures |
Bible Note: "All the Scriptures -- that is to say, the books of the Old and New Testaments -- are the word of God. From Him they came; they were spoken by holy men of God; they contain a full, sufficient, and perfect revelation of the mind and will of God, concerning all things that are necessary to be know for our salvation (Psalm 40:6-8; Isaiah 49:1-6; 53:10-12; John 17:4-5); and they are the only infallible rule of faith and obedience. The truths which they contain respecting God and the perfections of His nature are so exceedingly broad and deep, that no one could have revealed them, except Him who has a perfect knowledge of Himself (Psalm 89:3; Zechariah 6:13); the godliness and self denial of the writers, the purity and holiness of all the truths contained in the Scriptures, the consistency of all the parts, though written by various persons and in various ages of the world (John 10:18; 12:49; 14:31; 18:11; Hebrews 2:10; 9:15-17; 10:5-10; Zechariah 13:7; Isaiah 53:10-12), the continued preservation of the Scriptures, though the strongest authorities on earth have assailed and sought to destroy them, the fact that it is their main design to manifest God's greatness and glory (Psalm 40:6-8; Hebrews 7:22; 10:5-10; John 6:39; 17:2, 12; Ephesians 1:22, 23; 5:23; 1 Corinthians 15:21, 22, 45-49), their authority and influence over the hearts and lives of men, and the superiority of those nations which have had the Scriptures, in every age of the world, over other nations, in morals, knowledge, and all else that adorns humanity, -- all these things prove beyond a doubt that the infinite God is their author (Isaiah 59:21; Hebrews 2:4; John 7:39; 14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:8-9; 1 Thessalonians 1:5,6; 2 Corinthians 3:6-8; Galatians 4:6). "Besides, we have no grounds for thinking that either men or angels are the authors of the Holy Scriptures; we cannot suppose that bad men, in early times, were the authors of the Scriptures, without supposing also that evil had changed its former nature; and it is very certain that evil spirits never fashioned these weapons which are destined to subvert their kingdom in the hearts of men; and it would not be consistent with the holiness of the elect angels, nor with the holiness of godly men, to utter a lie in the name of The Lord of Hosts; it is, therefore, abundantly evident that the Scriptures come from God, and from no other source (Isaiah 53:5, 6, 10, 11; Psalm 40:6-8; Romans 5:6; 8:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 4:4,5; Matthew 20:28; 1 Peter 2:24)." --Confession of Faith of the Calvinistic Methodists or the Presbyterians of Wales (1823), chapter 2, paragraphs 3-4 |
