[3478.36 --> 3480.74] I want you to think about that |
[3480.74 --> 3482.76] quickly with me. |
[3483.60 --> 3484.94] As Christians, |
[3486.08 --> 3487.22] we believe |
[3487.22 --> 3488.32] that the Bible |
[3488.32 --> 3490.14] is divinely inspired, |
[3490.70 --> 3491.62] that it is the |
[3491.62 --> 3493.48] infallible word of God. |
[3494.06 --> 3495.20] Now, that means |
[3495.20 --> 3496.46] that it is true, |
[3496.64 --> 3497.44] and it is right, |
[3497.54 --> 3498.46] and it is good, |
[3498.50 --> 3499.14] that the Bible |
[3499.14 --> 3501.52] is the only final authority |
[3501.52 --> 3502.80] in matters of life |
[3502.80 --> 3503.88] and faith. |
[3503.88 --> 3507.26] as the voice of Jesus, |
[3507.62 --> 3509.00] the logos of God, |
[3509.14 --> 3509.60] the Bible |
[3509.60 --> 3512.02] is the powerful word of God |
[3512.02 --> 3513.38] for the church, |
[3513.52 --> 3514.10] for us. |
[3515.42 --> 3515.98] And, |
[3516.28 --> 3517.58] what we also know |
[3517.58 --> 3518.68] is that the Bible |
[3518.68 --> 3519.22] is given |
[3519.22 --> 3520.52] in a particular time |
[3520.52 --> 3521.30] and place |
[3521.30 --> 3524.34] to a particular people |
[3524.34 --> 3525.02] who wrote |
[3525.02 --> 3526.42] in a particular format |
[3526.42 --> 3528.26] using what were normal |
[3528.26 --> 3528.94] to them |
[3528.94 --> 3530.32] literary genres, |
[3530.68 --> 3530.86] right, |
[3530.92 --> 3532.18] and using particular |
[3532.18 --> 3532.80] cultural |
[3532.80 --> 3534.00] and contextually |
[3534.00 --> 3535.44] specific images |
[3535.44 --> 3536.86] and metaphors. |
[3538.18 --> 3538.48] And so, |
[3538.58 --> 3539.84] there are these two things |
[3539.84 --> 3540.50] that are happening |
[3540.50 --> 3542.20] at exactly the same time |
[3542.20 --> 3543.12] in the Bible, |
[3543.20 --> 3544.10] in the whole word of God, |
[3544.72 --> 3544.92] right? |
[3544.96 --> 3545.72] On the one hand, |
[3545.82 --> 3546.40] we recognize |
[3546.40 --> 3547.16] and believe |
[3547.16 --> 3547.80] that the Bible |
[3547.80 --> 3549.08] is God's word, |
[3549.22 --> 3550.56] his revelation to us, |
[3550.62 --> 3551.48] his very word |
[3551.48 --> 3553.12] and his very revelation. |
[3553.54 --> 3553.80] And, |
[3553.92 --> 3554.66] on the other hand, |
[3554.72 --> 3556.12] at the exact same time, |
[3556.22 --> 3556.92] we recognize |
[3556.92 --> 3558.40] that his revelation |
[3558.40 --> 3560.56] has been mediated to us, |
[3560.60 --> 3562.02] has been given to us |
[3562.02 --> 3563.76] through a particular time |
[3563.76 --> 3564.48] in history |
[3564.48 --> 3566.02] and through the voice |
[3566.02 --> 3568.12] of countless different authors |
[3568.12 --> 3569.14] as we don't know |
[3569.14 --> 3570.04] who some of them are |
[3570.04 --> 3571.40] and over the period |
[3571.40 --> 3572.58] of thousands of years. |
[3573.94 --> 3574.06] Right? |
[3574.10 --> 3574.94] This book |
[3574.94 --> 3577.72] is humanity's word |
[3577.72 --> 3578.66] about God, |
[3578.72 --> 3580.10] but it is so much more |
[3580.10 --> 3580.48] than that |
[3580.48 --> 3582.20] because it's God's word |
[3582.20 --> 3582.88] about himself. |
[3584.78 --> 3586.04] In the first letter |
[3586.04 --> 3586.56] of Peter, |
[3587.40 --> 3588.46] he gives us |
[3588.46 --> 3589.32] a good summary |
[3589.32 --> 3590.34] of this, |
[3590.34 --> 3591.12] what we've been talking about. |
[3591.36 --> 3592.48] The theological term |
[3592.48 --> 3593.18] is the doctrine |
[3593.18 --> 3594.04] of inspiration. |
[3595.24 --> 3597.46] But in 1 Peter 1.21, |
[3597.78 --> 3598.22] he says, |
[3599.18 --> 3600.78] people spoke from God |
[3600.78 --> 3602.70] as they were carried along |
[3602.70 --> 3603.88] by the Holy Spirit. |
[3604.78 --> 3605.06] That is, |
[3605.20 --> 3606.50] God gave them words |
[3606.50 --> 3607.26] to speak |
[3607.26 --> 3608.46] and they spoke it |
[3608.46 --> 3609.10] as people |
[3609.10 --> 3610.34] in their unique voice. |
[3612.72 --> 3612.88] Now, |
[3612.94 --> 3614.06] I start here |
