TRUTH BE TOLD! So the good reverend says lah.
But has he told the truth about Article 4.2.1?
Is there a Bible verse that shows that God preserved His Word in one particular ancient text?
“Listen to the expert,” so he orders lah.
Ta…da! Dr George Skariah – the indisputable expert on the doctrine of preservation. But the good reverend can only tell us this: “No one knows the process of inspiration for how can sinful men produce perfect words? We believe the doctrine of Inspiration because God’s perfect Word says so. We believe it not because we are convinced by empirical evidence or by science or because we know the process [i.e. we don't know]…The Doctrine of Preservation is the same.”
Pray tell! How can someone write a dissertation on what he doesn't know? How can someone has so much to say on something that he doesn't know?
“We believe every doctrine in the Bible by faith.”
So do those of us whom the good doctor of theology described as attacking God’s Word, enemies of the Bible.
Is our faith inferior to his? If it is, then there must be something that he knows that we don’t.
But wait, did he not just say that he doesn't know!
“We do not know the process of creation…but believe it because the Bible says so. Likewise, we do not know and do not need to know the process of preservation to believe that the same God who gave us the perfect Word also preserved the perfect
Word, perfectly.”
Then pray tell! What does he really know?
To quote the good doctor of theology: We do not know!
