PASS THE MESSAGE


“WE MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE BOOKS OF SCRIPTURE FIRMLY, FAITHFULLY, AND WITHOUT ERROR, TEACH THAT TRUTH WHICH GOD, FOR THE SAKE OF OUR SALVATION, WISHED TO SEE CONFIDED TO THE SACRED SCRIPTURES”

(Dei Verbum 11)


BIBLICAL INERRANCY


-that since the Scripture was written, compiled and edited under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, “we must acknowledge that the books of Scripture firmly, faithfully and without error, teach the truth which God, for the sake of our salvation, wished to see confided to the Sacred Scriptures.”

(Dei Verbum 11)

Biblical Inerrancy


i.) FIRMLY

-the salvific truth that God teaches us through the Scripture is NORMATIVE of our faith.

Biblical Inerrancy


ii.) FAITHFULLY

-what is written in Scripture is that which God precisely willed the human authors to write, under the inspiration of His divine Spirit.

Biblical Inerrancy


iii.) WITHOUT ERROR

-if the Bible is of God, it cannot be in error as God is the author of truth, not lies.

WHY ME?(REMEMBER THAT EVENT OF YOUR

LIFE WHEN YOU EXPERIENCED PAIN, BEING SO LOST AND ALONE, A TIME WHEN GOD DOES NOT HEAR YOU)


- “The Sacred Scripture is the word of God inasmuch as it is consigned to writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.” (Dei Verbum 9 & 11)

Biblical Inerrancy

1.) The entirety of the canonical Scriptures comes from God in a way that is distinctive from the fact that all things have been created by God or the gifted poets are said to be “inspired.”


- “The Sacred Scripture is the word of God inasmuch as it is consigned to writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.” (Dei Verbum 9 & 11)

Biblical Inerrancy

2.) Those who actually wrote the Scriptures did so in a truly human fashion, that is, they retained their freedom, their personalities, their strengths, and their weaknesses.


1.) Faced with new facts from natural sciences and religious studies that suggest that positions contained in the bible are not longer tenable or not original, Vatican II affirms that there is NO ERROR in SS as far as salvific truth is concerned. (DV 11; CFC 89; CCC 107)

Biblical Inerrancy:For the truths of our SALVATION


2.) To present inerrancy in a positive manner, Vatican II introduced a more biblical use of truth, which was above all, a faithful and merciful communication of God as he saves the world.

-the truth of SS is the full and universal truth of God’s redeeming plan for humanity.

(Dei Verbum 4)



3.) The Big Question: If the Bible is of God, it cannot be in

error since God is the author of truth and not of lies.



3.a) The words of the Bible are true only in the sense in which the human authors conveyed them.

-We must determine how the human authors thought, what influenced them, etc.



3.b.) The human authors were not necessarily without error.

-many of their personal opinions and even convictions may have

been wrong.

-inerrancy means that these opinions and convictions did not affect the message itself.



3.c) Inerrancy does not rule out the use of common literary devices such as poetry, figures of speech, paradox, approximation, inexact quotation, folklore, song, etc.



3.d) Insofar which are made of inerrancy for the sake of salvation.

-ERGO, “the books of Scripture must be acknowledged as teaching firmly, faithfully and without error that truth which God wanted put into the sacred writings for the sake of our salvation.” (Dei Verbum 11)



HERE I AM(REMEMBER YOUR PAINS, YOUR HURTS,

AND DISCOVER GOD’S MESSAGE FOR YOU: THAT GOD CANNOT BE WRONG IN

GIVING YOU THOSE PAINS, THOSE HURTS.)
