“Old” Testament vs. “New” Testament

The Bible is the “Word of God”

2 Tim. 3:16–17 “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”

Five things this tells us about the Bible: It is from God It is to be taught It reproves and corrects our thinking It equips us It does not lack

qeo,j (theos) pneustoj (pneustos) Lit. “God breathed” Teacher’s Notes Bibliology and Hermeneutics qeo,pneustoj = qeo,j (theos) pneustoj (pneustos) Lit. “God breathed” Presentation notes: It is important to note that Scripture is the only thing that is said to be “God-breathed”.

The Bible is the word of man

Teacher’s Notes Bibliology and Hermeneutics 2 Pet. 1:20–21 “But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” Copyright © 2005-2006 Reclaiming the Mind Ministries.

fero,menoi (pheromenoi) Teacher’s Notes Bibliology and Hermeneutics fero,menoi (pheromenoi) Lit: “to carry,” “to bear,” “to guide,” or “to drive along.” Used of a ship being carried by the wind (Acts 27:17). Presentation notes: The key issue that needs to be taught from this verse is that inspiration has its first cause in God, not man. Nevertheless, God used man in the inspiration process, guiding him along utilizing his personality, attitude, intentions, situation in life, writing style, and motivation to correctly convey God’s own words.

Five primary sources of religious authority: Bible Reason Tradition Teacher’s Notes Bibliology and Hermeneutics Five primary sources of religious authority: Bible Reason Tradition Experience Emotion Copyright © 2005-2006 Reclaiming the Mind Ministries. All Rights Reserved.

Teacher’s Notes Bibliology and Hermeneutics Tradition: Religious information that has been handed down to us from various sources. Copyright © 2005-2006 Reclaiming the Mind Ministries. All Rights Reserved.

Examples: Benefits: Deficiencies: Presentation Notes: Examples: History of Christian thought, Creeds, pastor, parents, culture, books, etc. Benefits: Keeps us from thinking that theology is something that can be done outside of the community, understands that the Spirit works through other people Deficiencies: Tradition is very fallible in that it often contradicts itself. It is always relative and subjective.

Teacher’s Notes Bibliology and Hermeneutics Reason: Information that comes through the human mind’s capacity for logical, rational, and analytic thought. Copyright © 2005-2006 Reclaiming the Mind Ministries. All Rights Reserved.

Examples: Benefits: Deficiencies: Presentation Notes: Examples: Law of non-contradiction, arguments for the existence of God, creation, etc. Benefits: Available to all people, common ground, apologetic benefits for classical apologetics Deficiencies: Noetic effects of sin on the mind, is limited, is subjective (although not like that of experience)

Teacher’s Notes Bibliology and Hermeneutics Experience: Information that comes through direct encounter, participation, or observation. Copyright © 2005-2006 Reclaiming the Mind Ministries. All Rights Reserved.

Examples: Benefits: Deficiencies: Presentation Notes: Examples: Life’s circumstances, answered prayer, sin, miracles, chance meetings Benefits: Immediate experience can bring about great encouragement Deficiencies: Very subjective, can often be misinterpreted

Teacher’s Notes Bibliology and Hermeneutics Emotions: Information that comes through subjectively experienced psychological feelings. Copyright © 2005-2006 Reclaiming the Mind Ministries. All Rights Reserved.

Examples: Benefits: Deficiencies: Presentation Notes: Examples: Inner peace after prayer, a deep feeling of regret or guilt, etc. Benefits: Emotional experience can bring about great encouragement. Emotion can be conformational. It is personal. Deficiencies: Very subjective; can often lead one away from God’s will; cannot be relied upon, because people can produce emotional experience on their own

Tradition Reason Experience Emotions Acts 17:11 These Jews were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they eagerly received the message, examining the Scriptures carefully every day to see if these things were so.

Why is it important to get the wording of Scripture right?

Has your understanding of the Bible grown? In what ways do you think emotions could conflict or support the Bible? Give examples? Why should we trust Scripture over experience? Give examples where experience would support the Bible? Why is tradition dangerous and wonderful? If Scripture seems to come in conflict with modern scientific opinion, what should we do? Give examples.
