John Woodhouse on Scripture

Andrew Moody, citing John Woodhouse on Scripture ... I think:

The Classic Reformed claims about Scripture are less about the abstract properties of a book and more about the fact that God is a good God who provides for his children through the Bible.
1. Inerrancy - the whole of Scripture can be trusted and should be viewed as truth from God.
2. Clarity - God will lead us into truth through his Word, no matter how smart we are.
3. Sufficiency - We don't need to go elsewhere, Scripture is the table at which God will bring us the food we need.

Musings on the Bible's trustworthiness

If you are a clever person, the doctrine of biblical inerrancy is a challenge—not because it

is irrational, but because it makes your cleverness less important. If you are a creative

person, the doctrine of biblical inerrancy might annoy you—not because the inerrant Bible

is dull, but because your creativity is less significant. If you are a proud person, the

doctrine of biblical inerrancy will certainly be a problem. This doctrine says that this book is

not subject to your evaluation, it does not need your ingenuity, it does not bow to your

superiority as a sophisticated 21st century intellectual. This ancient book is for you to hear,

understand, and believe. Humbly.
