Julian Muller said, The Bible inherent authority carry. chive on We are not Bybelaanbidders not. The authority that carries the Bible is the authority of the tradition of the religious community of which we are part, allocated. Within our belief structure carrying the Bible greater authority than other writings. This does not mean that the Bible also to critical scientific inquiry should be. It is more about understanding chive on and interpretation of the Bible as a kind of pious followers of and even worship of the Bible as a book.
When my youngest daughter to my oldest daughter says "Clean your room! 'Bear it no authority. As I said to my oldest daughter "Over your room!" Wear it much authority. chive on Words such as "generous to your room!" Had inherent authority. People did. If I say something inherent authority in my words because I had inherent authority.
Then he says something else: The Bible's authority is derived from the tradition of the faith community. This means that the authority of the religious community is beyond the authority of God - if he would admit that the Bible is the word of God.
With these words go Muller a line through the divine inspiration of the Bible, and also a line through the fact that the Holy Spirit is the reader of the Bible convinced of its truth.
Here is an interview with Kevin DeYoung, a Reformed minister who still believe in the authority of the Bible. He explains in the video is the Reformed doctrine of Scripture. This is what the DRC previously chive on believed.
Compare this with what Muller and therefore the DRC now believes. (One must assume that it is believed to be the DRC now for Kerkbode publish what he says without questioning. He was appointed dean vision of UP's theology faculty while he preached the pagan filth on the Bible. chive on And Nelus Niemandt in this time saying "There is no heresy at Tuks not.")
PS: Is it fair to say that Kerkbode agree with Muller? I do not believe so because Kerkbode not a secular newspaper that should not publish opinions. Parish clerk is the official mouthpiece of the DRC, and as a mouthpiece of the church Kerkbode only one mission: chive on To preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
At least have a church's mouthpiece on one way or another give their approval or themselves distances of opinions that are not in line with the church's Articles of Faith, or at least in the same issue a reproduction of someone note in line with the church's mission and vision.
Henriƫtta, it was a long time ago a problem with UP's theology faculty. They will say something controversial on the student learning (as the Bible is subject to human ideas) and then no response in the sense of, "but that is what we believe". The students have just either go with the idea either their own opinion form. But no one is / was prepared to the Christian / NG official Church position to set.
In response to Julian Muller's views on the Bible. The view he set was all these years (at least since the reform) the position of the Catholic Church. "The Bible's authority is under the authority of the church tradition." It was never the Reformed position! If we look at the actual development history of the New Testament, we see quite a different picture. First, the early church had more books than the current New Testament books as inspired seen, and read in the church (eg. The Shepherd of Hermas, letters of Clement, the Didache (catechism based on the apostles' teaching), the Diatessaron chive on ( a harmony of the four Gospels) etc. These books have largely agreed in their teaching of the New Testament, but was rejected as canon because they do by an apostle or under the direct influence of an apostle (eg. Mark and Luke ) is written. In other words, the gun was smaller than the total group of inspired books. They are considered the authoritative chive on books that can be used to assess join other writings. Then there were a couple chive on of books (and not at all as undistinguished some scholars do not say (eg. 2 and 3 John, 2 Peter, Revelation)) that was known in certain areas, while some churches that were far from the churches to which the books / letters were sent first, simply by their existence aware and therefore they did not recognize as Scripture. The false "pseudografia" books such as the Gospel of Thomas chive on and Barnabas, were rejected by all the churches because it was well known that they were not written by the apostles, and there was never any question about them (they are either long after the prescribed time of the apostles, or (and) clearly contradicts that in the books was known as apostolic origin (the New Testament times
