0:00.0 | Pastor John, in its most basic form, how do you define biblical in erency? |
0:12.0 | Before I go to the definition of inerency, let me give you the soil or the roots of why |
0:18.3 | would you even ask that question, the 66 books of the Christian canon is what I'm talking |
0:26.2 | about when I say scripture or Bible. They are, we believe, inspired by God, 2 Timothy 3 |
0:35.6 | 16, or to say it another way, 2 Peter 1, 21, no prophecy was ever produced by the will |
0:42.8 | of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. So the reason |
0:51.8 | inerency rises because we claim this book is the very word of God. The center of God's |
0:59.0 | revelation is Jesus, and he's called the word of God incarnate. And he said scripture |
1:09.6 | cannot be broken. He said until heaven and earth pass away, not in the outing, not a dot, |
1:15.2 | little esteemed dot in the outing, will pass away from the law until all is accomplished. |
1:20.2 | So the word of God validates the word of God written, the word of God incarnate validates |
1:26.6 | the word of God written in the Old Testament. And then he commissioned apostles to speak |

1:45.5 | center as the word of God incarnate. And looking back, he validates the word of God written |
1:50.9 | and looking forward. He validates the word of God written and the apostles took it that |
1:55.8 | way because they said amazing things about their authority. Paul said, for example, in |
2:02.2 | 1 Corinthians 14, 37, if anyone thinks that he's a prophet or spiritual, he should acknowledge |
2:10.2 | the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. If anyone does not recognize this, |
2:16.9 | he is not recognized. That's incredible. And the only reason he has the right to say that |
2:23.0 | is because he said, we are teaching in words spoken, not from men, but from the Holy Spirit |
2:30.4 | because Jesus promised I'm going to guide my apostles into all truth. So there's the reason |
