Isabella from God's revealed truth. That's where we get. What we believe is from the word of God. So when we talked about our own statement of faith the Article of Faith it both declares and explains the Christian belief. That's what we want to do. Want to take East? I'm going to explain that to you. Hopefully when you go away from this class, you will know what we believe and hopefully you will know what you believe according to the word of God.

I'm going to trust that there's some supplemental material I put in your binder.

Too much. Okay, so I know you are all intelligent beings. I know there was a time that you like to sit down and just read maybe you can't fall asleep at night and he's something to help you sleep. So, okay. Let's talk about the Holy scriptures. This is the actual article. And this is what it says the holy scriptures both Old and New Testaments are the inspired infallible word of God a divine revelation original writings of which we were inspired by the Holy Spirit. They are the Supreme and final authority of faith in condo inspiration is a special Act of the Holy Spirit by which he guided the writers of scripture. So that their words would convey the thought you wished they'd would bear a proper relationship to the thought of the other inspired books very important statement and would be free from error of fact and Judgment of these things and still went through this to we had to memorize these things for our coordination.

But you know and then finally 1-3 the holy scriptures the written word of God composed of all the books of the Old Testament and the New Testament named Lee and not to insult your intelligence. But these are 39 books of the Old Testament starting with Genesis going to Malachi and then the 27 books of the New Testament starting with Matthew going to the Book of Revelation. So is it a good place to start?

So what about the apocryphal books remind know what the Apocrypha books are? They are the 14 or so books that were written during the 400.

if you are

what about them? Why don't we use them in our Bible? Well, here are some of the apocryphal facts that have to deal with that the apocryphal and Apocrypha was rejected by Jesus and the apostles. What do I mean by that?

The apocryphal books were not inspired.

There is good reason why we don't accept the apocryphal books. They were rejected by the Jewish Community as well.

Being fired certainly a success of the Old Testament. As we would know it today every book of the Old Testament. Thoroughly, they were rejected now that just might seem funny to you.

What the Apocrypha is all about? with that in mind

how was the Canon determined wirtanen mean

Read me the book do they declare that they are from God? Or they prophetic words. Were they written by a man of God?

What breeds were they involved in The Writing Center people who had Direct Revelation from God in the nude? written by or with

Luke was written

probably the Apostle Paul was able to declare firsthand what the Apostle Paul was saying any words. We know the scripture was God had a revelation.

Mark disabled Information from Peter this is very important.

Or was that person in close proximity with an authorized person like an apostle?

thirdly Is it authentic? Consistent with other Revelation remember how we said in that article of faith?

What are the what are the principles of look elsewhere in Scripture?

Unified as one whole does it teach the doctrines in in a unified fashion.

Okay number for is it Dynamic demonstrating God's life changing power at scripture in Hebrews. 4:12 word of God is sharper when they fighted bowling Spirit Discerning that look is life-changing. so when people took and they obeyed it it transform their life because we're looking at the word of God as Dean supernatural being from God and then 4/5 no words wasn't recognized by other believers the word of God. These are the five test.

Thank you. So I want to make sure that you understand. There is nobody. There is no church.

The word of God the Bible that we have is a supernatural book, even with all the years. The periods of time that copy is had to copy word for word. Copy. God was involved in helping them do that so that we have the guy. All right. I knew I wouldn't come anywhere near Calvin all this stuff, but I do want to talk about inspiration real quick here. And I know okay. So what is inspiration? I want to give you two verses of scripture first one is Hebrews 1:1. It says long ago at many times. And in many ways God spoke to our fathers by the proper course it goes on to say and in these last days.

You got spunk. But also God spoke that unusual way to look at this is kind of an isolated.

He prophesied with the prophets the people said to one another what has come over. The son of Kish is Saul also among the prophets another. Where's the Holy Spirit came upon Saul and he communicated. We communicated. So how do we Define the word inspiration inspiration is the process used by God to speak? Shuffle my God speaking inspiration is God in heaven the great creator of all things speaking. How does he do that? How does he? How does he use inspiration to speak?

You're not going to find this definition any. because

Okay, so really I'm taking this from scriptures well by need. How did God

used inspiration by means of an agent

through whom he communicates Divine truth made understandable to the intended receiver.

word for people

In order to speak through and to communicate in such a way that the here is the intended.

Truly inspired God is speaking and he's using agents to communicate his word.

We know in the Old Testament speaks verbally sometime to Abraham Isaac Jacob. However, a majority of the time God used engine. How did the assure this process is very important scripture in 2nd Peter 1 20 and 21. Listen to this carefully knowing this first of all that no prophecy of scripture comes from someone's own interpretation for no prophecy has ever Purdue was ever produced by the will of man, but men from God as they were what carried along by the Holy Spirit

pharaoh present participle voice What he's really saying here, is that the Holy Spirit did this he moved along movies and they were being sustained they were being supported. They were being propelled and driven to communicate the word of God. So God, not only expiration is not.

Bob Moore here and just dictating the words because that's their writers style level of Education. They were being thorough being continually being the right as God wanted them to write the who is doing.

It was the Holy Spirit is doing the caring.

We would be recalled it as being the very word of job rate power in it. Alright, I'm going to skip ahead to win because of that. It's the infallible word of God. That's a part of it went out. I already talked about that already talked about that. Okay, let's go to this. I am I like the way the article puts it. I've already explained to you about inspiration. I think the Article of Faith really defines the concept of inspiration and its purpose inspiration to special Act of the Holy Spirit. That's 1-2. And here's what it says by which he guided boar them along. The writers of scripture so that their words would convey the thoughts he wished to convey with speaking.

Use these agents to convey the very word that he wanted. He was conveyed that they wouldn't pay her a proper relationship to the thoughts of the other inspired. You talked about being authentic. They were the word of God as a word that they wrote and they were inspired by God the book that they wrote unified. They had a proper relationship with the other inspired books and would be kept accordingly because of that free from error affect Doctrine. and judgment important statement, isn't it?

Drew Asian right to give us an understanding and judgment the word of God.

The ideas of a Doctrine affect the things that God wants to know the judgments the righteousness. There's things that are so the most important in life. It gives us the principles in which the principles by which we make those decisions about us those principles to leave you with this verse. Extremely important do not think that I have come to abolish the law to prop for truly. I say to you until Heaven and Earth pass away. Not an Iota. Will pass them along to it is

the word of God

it is a word of God everything that we talked about the rest of the summer. This would be taken out of the word of God. the importance of inspiration

criticism all I can separate things in them.

If you want any.

Also, we are escaping this I'm supposed to be near my microphone all the time. You might dear stuff. That's you know, anybody else. Really want to add quick case next week to talk about.

Alright, thank you so much for your word that you were fired.

You help them to write exactly what you wanted us to like and then you preserve your words so that we have your very words.
