Home - About Us - What We Believe - Specific Issues - Sufficiency of Scripture
We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of that Scriptures and
that they contain all the words of God that we need in order to
completely trust and obey Him. The Scriptures are inerrant in their
original writings --
Psalm 119:97-104;
Psalm 119:160;
Matthew 5:18;
John 5:46-47;
John 10:35;
2 Timothy 3:15-16, and are infallible in
their instruction --
Proverbs 6:32;
2 Peter 1:19, eternal in duration
--
Isaiah 40:8;
1 Peter 1:23-25; the final authority and the standard
for faith and practice (
Matthew 4:4;
Psalm 119); and sufficient for
counsel in every issue of life (
Psalm 19:14-17;
2 Timothy 3:16).
We
believe that the very words of Scripture in the original Hebrew, Greek
and Aramaic are inspired by God. Therefore, we believe that the Bible
versions which translate God's Word most literally into modern English
should be preferred.
