(3) Human reason and knowledge are wholly subject to the Scriptures. As the Bible reveals to man
God’s view of everything – the correct view of everything. (See the point made in 1 John 2:15-17 where
the ways / views of the world are going to pass away, but the Lord and His children will continue with
Him forever.).

(4) There is no inner light or added revelation ever given beyond what is contained in the Bible.

(5) No authority relative to the receiving and forming of the truth has ever been committed to the
church or to men beyond that given to the New Testament writers. The inspired revelation is complete.

How is the Bible Divinely Inspired?

False views of Inspiration

Rationalism
This view stresses that the Bible is neither special nor sacred in context. It holds that the word of God is
naturally written by various authors. There was no divine aspect involved. The Bible is only a
compilation of books and authors, nothing more. The stories may inspire the readers, but the words are
only words as in any other book.

This view holds that the Bible is not historically, scientifically, or chronologically accurate. Its value
resides only in the inspiration or stimulation it may give to its readers.
