Basic Bible Doctrine

Inerrancy contrasts with My Little Toy Paraphrases

Inerrancy has been used a lot, but the term seems empty today. How can they promote the new Bibles with the Greek text corrupted by Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, and Dynamic Equivalence?!

By the way, Fundamentalist is a term that came from conservative Calvinists, not from snake handlers, tongue-speakers, and rednecks.

The Dynamic Equivalence (anything goes) translations come from the unified Biblical associations, which include the Church of Rome. The modern translations are not inerrant, as shown by their weak and fractured passages, the soup is so watered down. The paraphrases - living, amplified, who knows what else? - are the rotten smell of the earlier playing around with D.E.'

The NIV, RSV, ESV, NRSV, Beck, and others fail miserably, and they make money.

Spirit/Word

The Spirit is always at work in the Word of God: this is the primary stance of the Reformation, but laughed at by such notables as Calvin, Zwingli, and the Pope du jour.

Therefore, preaching, teaching, and Holy Communion are always the work of God.

Just as Jesus Christ is powerful, united in His human nature and divine nature, so are the Scriptures. The Biblical books are written by ordinary people and guided by the Holy Spirit. Very few theologians and scholars accept this, substituting their own fantasies, criticism, and erasure.

One example is the "faith of Jesus," found in Romans 3:22, Galatians  2:16, and Philippians 3:9. Why are the apostates so keen on showing faith in His human nature? 

KJV Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Clarity

The Scriptures are clear. We may have trouble with certain passages, but this is not the fault of the author or the Spirit. We often need more study and comparisons to understand. Jesus did not want every person to grab His teaching and mislead Him.

The darker or more difficult verses are illuminated by the brighter, easier passages.

Likewise, we cannot build a new cathedral because something gets people all excited, and they rush around like chickens in a tornado.

Assume the Best

I have gone through several excitements of Jesus' infant narratives. There is another one - Thomas - being waved around for money and publicity. Common sense is not that common anymore.

The Son of God and the Father help us through the Spirit in learning more and removing false ideas.
