Biblical inerrancy, exegesis and exposition Postulates and proposals
Let me propose five logically sequential assumptions which present and support my main proposals. These five ideas also establish the true biblical basis of the doctrine of inerrance:
- 1.
- God is (Genesis 1: 1; Come out 14.
- 53; Hey 11:6) 2.
- God is true (Exodus 34:6.
- Nb 23:19.
- Deuteronomy 32:4; Come out 25:10.
- 31:6).
- Is 65:16.
- Jer 10: 8.
- 10:11.
- John 14:6.
- 17:3; Tet 1: 2.
- Heb 6:18; 1 John 5:20.
- 21).
- 3 God speaks in harmony with his nature (Numbers 23:19; 1 Sam 15:29.
- Rom 3:4.
- 2 Tim 2:13; Tite 1: 2 and Heb 6:18).
- 4 God says only the truth (Ps 31:5.
- 119 : 43.
- 142.
- 151.
- 160; Pr 30:5.
- Is 65:16.
- John 17:17.
- James 1:18).
- 5 God pronounced his true Word as consistent with his true essence in communicating with the people (an obvious truth illustrated in 2 Timothy 3:16-17; I have 1: 1 Therefore.
- We should consider the following proposals:.
1. God gave his true Word to be fully communicated as he gave it, that is, all of God’s counsel must be preached. (Mt 28:20; Acts 5:20, 20:27). Consequently, each portion of God’s Word must be analyzed in light of its totality. 2. God gave his true Word to be communicated exactly as he gave it. It must be delivered exactly as it was delivered, without changing the message. 3. Only the exegetical process culminating in explanatory proclamation will execute propositions 1 and 2. No link for explanatory predication Now, let me justify these propositions with answers to a series of questions. They will channel our thinking from the source of God’s revelation to its destination. 1. Why preach? Simple, God commanded (2 Timothy 4: 2), and the apostles responded like this (Acts 6: 4). 2. What should we preach? The word of God? Unique Scriptura and Total Scriptura (1 Timothy 4:13; 2 Timothy 4: 2). 3. Who preaches? Holy men of God (Luke 1:70, Acts 3:21, Ephesians 3: 5; 2 Peter 1:21; Revelation 18:20, 22: 6). It was only after God purified Isaiah’s lips that he was commanded to preach (Isaiah 6: 6-13). 4. What is the responsibility of the preacher? First, the preacher must understand that the Word of God is not the word of the preacher. But yes: he is the messenger, not a creator (I’m freezing). He is the sower, not the fountain (Mt 13: 3, 19). He is the herald, not the authority (kerusso). He is the steward, not the owner (Colossians 1:25). He is the guide, not the author (Acts 8:31). He is the servant of spiritual food, not the cook (John 21:15, 17).
Second, the preacher should consider Scripture to be ho logos tou theou (the Word of God). When You engage in this terrible truth and responsibility, His goal, in particular, will be to remain under the scriptures, not above them, and allow Him, so to speak, through him, to deliver what is not so much his message as his own. In our preaching, this must always happen. In the obituary of the great German director Otto Klemperer, Neville Cardus spoke of how Klemperer “defined music in motion” his own integrity through it. So it has to be in preaching; the scriptures themselves must make all the discourse, and the preacher’s job is simply to “get the Bible moving” (Packer, Inerrance and Common Sense, p. 203)
The expression? The word of God? (theou logos in Greek texts) is used 47 times in the New Testament. This is what Jesus preached (Luke 5: 1). This was the message the apostles taught (Acts 4:31, 6: 2). This was the word received by the Samaritans (Acts 8:14) as the apostles gave it (Acts 8:25). This was the message that the Gentiles received from Peter’s preaching (Acts 1: 1). This is the word that Paul preached on his first missionary journey (Acts 13: 5, 7, 44, 48, 49, 15: 35-36). This was the message preached on Paul’s second missionary journey (Acts 16:32, 17:13, 18:11). This was the message Paul preached on his third missionary journey (Acts 19:10). This was Luke’s increasing attention in the book of Acts (Acts 6: 7, 12:24, 19:20). Paul was careful to tell the Corinthians that he spoke the Word that was given by God, that it had not been altered, and that it was a manifestation of the truth (2 Corinthians 2:17, 4: 2). Paul recognized that this was the source of his preaching (Col 1:25, 1 Thess 2:13).
As with Christ and the Apostles, this is the case with the scriptures that today’s preachers must deliver, so that they can say, “So saith the Lord. “Your responsibility is to deliver it as originally delivered and planned.
