Biblical authority

 While cleaning out my bookmarks I came across this; why I bookmarked it escapes me but it looked as though it might be a peg for discussion.

our thinking in every area. This means we take what we hear from culture, family, friends, the media, and even Christian leaders, and we compare it to the Bible. If we don’t do this, we are susceptible to dangerous false doctrines and are blown about by every wind of teaching. (Avery Foley in Answers in Genesis)


There are a number of assumptions here:


  • That the Bible is the word of god rather than a fiction written by men

  • That it is the only “holy” book which matters

  • That even in Mainly Christian countries everyone is bound by bible rules

  • That we are unable to live responsibly without bible rules


Foley goes in to say:


When culture or the church strays from biblical authority, everyone does what’s right in his or her own eyes. Moral relativism runs rampant, the gospel is watered down, and sin abounds.
