Bible Note: Henry and Emmy: It is perfectly true that throughout the history of God's dealing with mankind, He has communicated in many ways: "God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days HAS SPOKEN to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world." Please note the words "has spoken" which I placed in caps for emphasis. We learn of His speaking to us in his Son through the revealed word of God, the Bible, through which we may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing we may have life in His name. (cf. John 20:31). There is no new revelation. The Scriptures are complete, the canon is closed. Scripture, "sola scriptura," is that for which Jude appealed to the saints that they contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints. (Jude 3). ..... You asked that Scripture be defined. Without going into a long-winded spiel, let's keep it simple. Scripture is the sacred writings of the Bible, the revealed word of God. That's what it meant to Paul when he said in 2 Timothy 3:16, "All Scripture is inspired by God..." --Hank |
