“The doctrine of the divine authority of Holy Scripture constitutes an important component in the words of God that Jesus preached, and if he was mistaken on this point he was wrong at a point that is most closely tied in with the religious life and he can no longer be recognized as our highest prophet. We cannot take Jesus seriously as a teacher and reject his own teaching concerning Holy Scripture.” InspirationJesusChristianityBibleScriptureInfallibilityInerrancyBiblical Authority Book:Reformed Dogmatics Source: Reformed Dogmatics

It begins with the darkening of the understanding, continues with the excitement of the imagination, stimulates desire in the heart, and culminates in an act of the will” WayHeartStillsDesireFallUnderstandingImaginationSinSimpleProfoundScripturePsychologicalExcitementDarkening Author:Herman Bavinck
