The other day Robert Jimenez posted a link to a site that makes some very good material available at a nominal cost. Like he said, we’re not talking about Matthew Henry’s Commentary or stuff like that (although that is available on the site), we’re talking about Blass, Debrunner, and Funk’s A Greek Grammar of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature; Daniel Wallace’s Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics; BAGD; Pratico & Van Pelt’s Basics of Biblical Hebrew; and so much more.
So you can imagine my shock when I come to the section of resources on Sola Scriptura. At the top of the page we read:
The Doctrine of The Scriptures, (The Holy Bible) is the most important in the Christian Church, since all that believe is meant to be based on its Authority. As it is the Word of Almighty God, it is Unique. Therefore, since the Holy Bible is the Word of God, we must conclude that it is completely Trustworthy in all that it speaks on. That is, the Bible in its original languages (autographs), are 100% without any error, in every respect, even down to the very fine points of grammar. To the very dot. (all Scripture [Old and New Testaments - ONLY the 66 books, as in the King James Version] is inspired by God) The Holy Bible, as the Word of God, is completely Inerrant on all subjects that it speaks on. We reject as demonic heresy, any suggestion that the Bible can be trusted in matters relating to faith and salvation, but not on matters on science, history, etc. Those who hold such a view, which is sometime called, “Limited Inerrancy“, have been deceived be the enemy of the Faith, and must be rejected as heresy. For anyone to even hint that the Bible contains errors in the original, are directly contradicting God Himself, and have made Him out to be a liar, since He is then guilty of giving us false information in His Word. This, of course is an impossibility!
You know, I hate it when people hold back. I wish these folks would have told us what they really thought.
It was surprising to see people who are offering such a good ammount of scholarship as holding such a fundy position on inerrancy. Now for the most part, the majority of the scholars whose books they provide are inerrantists, and that’s fine. But I didn’t think that would equate to this kind of ridiculous assertion that (1) the doctrine of the Scriptures is the most important in Christianity, and (2) that those who don’t affirm inerrancy in matters of history or science are heretics. But I guess you live and you learn.
Like my pastor says, “eat the meat and spit the bones out.” You can get a lot of good material on the site, just don’t look to them when your formulating your stance on the nature of Scripture.
