Sola Scriptura, The Scriptures, The Word of God, Bible Versions
What Are We Looking For In The Bible? by Michael S. Horton
We must not tell chiefly of people, of their faith as an attracting example and of their sins as a repelling example, but we must tell of the revelation of the grace of God in Christ.
KJV vs. NIV - Which Bible? by Ronald Cammenga
The matter of which Bible translation is to be accepted by and used among the people of God is a matter of highest priority. For centuries the King James Version was the undisputed version of choice among English-speaking Christians. In the last several decades, however, several other English translations have appeared, all of them vying for acceptance on the ground that they are an improvement over the KJV.
Sola Scriptura and the Early Church by William Webster
The Reformation was responsible for restoring to the Church the principle of sola Scriptura, a principle which had been operative within the Church from the very beginning of the post apostolic age.
The Authority of Scripture by Martyn Lloyd-Jones
There can be no doubt whatsoever that all the troubles in the Church to-day, and most of the troubles in the world, are due to a departure from the authority of the Bible.
The Battle for the Bible by Herman C. Hanko
It is quite surprising that only in the last two or three hundred years has the battle for the Bible had to be fought. Until the time of the Reformation, and even for a century or a century and a half after the Reformation, there was no need to defend the truth that the Bible is the Word of God because everyone who belonged to the church believed it.
The Christians Surest Guide: Subjective Feelings or God's Word? by Charles Alligood
The Scriptures are clear -- all religious experiences are not works of the Holy Spirit. Some of these experiences are produced by unholy spirits. How then are we to distinguish between the two? Has God given us a sufficient and authoritative guide?
The Concept and Importance of Canonicity by Greg Bahnsen
The Christian faith is based upon God's own self-revelation, not the conflicting opinions or untrustworthy speculations of men. As the Apostle Paul wrote: "your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God" (I Cor. 2:5).
The Formation Of The Canon Of The New Testament by Benjiman B. Warfield
In order to obtain a correct understanding of what is called the formation of the Canon of the New Testament, it is necessary to begin by fixing very firmly in our minds one fact which is obvious enough when attention is once called to it.
The King James Version Of The Bible by Steven Houck
The King James Version, although it is almost 400 years old, is still the best translation available today. It was translated by men who were both intellectually and spiritually qualified for the work. The great version which they produced is faithful to the originals, accurate, incomparable in its style, and easily understood by all those who are serious about reading and studying God's Word.
The Scriptures and the World by Arthur W. Pink
Not a little is written to the Christian in the New Testament about 'the world' and his attitude towards it. Its real nature is plainly defined, and the believer is solemnly warned against it.
What today's Christian needs to know about The Greek New Testament by G. W. Anderson
In recent years there has been much confusion concerning modern translations and editions of the Greek New Testament. Some people make claims regarding the Greek New Testament without having information and facts to support their claims. Many people claim that their translations are accurate because those translations are based upon the best available Greek texts.
The Inspiration Of Scripture - Part I: The Nature of Scripture Inspiration by Loraine Boettner
The answer that we are to give to the question, "What is Christianity?" depends quite largely on the view we take of Scripture. If we believe that the Bible is the very word of God and infallible, we will develop one conception of Christianity. If we believe that it is only a collection of human writings, perhaps considerably above the average in its spiritual and moral teachings but nevertheless containing many errors, we will develop a radically different conception of Christianity.
The Inspiration Of Scripture - Part II: The Writers Claim Inspiration by Loraine Boettner
Our primary reasons for holding that the Bible is the inspired Word of God are that the writers themselves claim this inspiration, and that the contents of their messages bear out that claim. The uniformity with which the prophets insisted that the messages which they spoke were not theirs but the Lord's is a striking phenomenon of Scripture.
The Inspiration Of Scripture - Part III: The Nature of the Influence by Which Inspiration is Accomplished by Loraine Boettner
The evangelical Christian churches have never held what has been stigmatized the "mechanical" theory of inspiration, despite the charges often made to the contrary. Instead of reducing the writers of Scripture to the level of machines or typewriters we have insisted that, while they wrote or spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, they nevertheless remained thinking, willing, self-conscious beings whose peculiar styles and mannerisms are clearly traceable in their writings.
The Inspiration Of Scripture - Part IV: The Alleged Errors in Scripture by Loraine Boettner
One of the most distressing things in present-day churches is that whereas in the religious debates of earlier days they used to argue about what the Bible said, never for a moment doubting that what it said was true, groups within the various churches are now arguing as to whether or not the Bible is trustworthy.
The Inspiration Of Scripture - Part V: The Trustworthiness of the Bible by Loraine Boettner
After a survey of the alleged errors and discrepancies, including not only the typical ones just mentioned, but also many others, we assert, without fear of successful contradiction, that no one of these is real.
The Inspiration Of Scripture - Part VI: The Plenary Inspiration of the Bible by Loraine Boettner
We have already said that so-called Modernists or Liberals have no consistent stopping place. They must either go clear over to rationalism and barren negation, or they must turn back again to an authoritative Scripture.
The Scriptures More Precious Than Gold by Charles Bridges
Christian! bear your testimony to your supreme delight in the book of God. You have here opened the surface of much intellectual interest and solid instruction. But it is the joy that you have found in the revelation of the Saviour, in his commands, in his promises, in his ways, that leads you to exclaim, "More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold!"
