Again, just as the successes of the chemist generally increase his sense of self-importance and cause him to look with disdain upon others more ignorant than himself, so alas, is it often the case with those who have investigated Bible numerics, typology, pro.
Like a chemist engaged in making interesting experiments, the intellectual searcher of the Word is quite elated when he makes some discovery in it; but the joy of the latter is no more spiritual than would be that of the former.
Where this is the case, his store of knowledge is increased, and so also is his pride.
Even the natural man may take up the study of the Scriptures with the same enthusiasm and pleasure as he might of the sciences.
That this has been so in the present instance is evident by the fruits produced.
Divine gifts may be misused, and Divine mercies abused.
This is strong language, we are well aware, yet no stronger than the case calls for.
We greatly fear that in many instances it has proved a curse rather than a blessing.
There is grave reason to believe that much Bible reading and Bible study has been of no spiritual profit to those who engaged in it.
Grant that the Bible is (in its original manuscripts) inerrant and infallible and you reach the place where study of its contents is both practicable and profitable.
Grant that the Bible is a Divine revelation and communication of God\'s own mind and will to men, and you have a fixed starting point from which advance can be made into the domain of truth.
It is useless to discuss any doctrine taught by the Bible until you are prepared to acknowledge, unreservedly, that the Bible is the final court of appeal.
Deny that the Bible is, without any qualifications, the very Word of God, and you are left without any ultimate standard of measurement and without any supreme authority.
Surrender the dogma of verbal inspiration and you are left like a rudderless ship on a stormy sea-at the mercy of every wind that blows. 11:3).
Upon the foundation of the Divine inspiration of the Bible stands or falls the entire edifice of Christian truth.-If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Ps.
The starting point of all doctrinal discussion must be the Bible.
Christianity is based upon the impregnable rock of Holy Scripture.
Christianity is the religion of a Book.
