Bibliology – The Doctrine of the Bible
Section 1 – Part 1
The Doctrine of Scripture
Bibliology—Doctrine of the Bible
- I believe that God has given His complete written word in the 66 books of the Bible (39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament).
- That scripture was given to mankind through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to the God selected human authors (2 Pet. 1:21; 2 Tim. 3:16).
- The scriptures take on the personal style and vocabularies of the human authors, however it is completely God-breathed, and inspired (2 Tim. 3:16; Heb. 1:1; Acts 3:21) and thus the bible is complete, infallible and inerrant as it stands (Mat. 5:18; John 10:35).
- That the inspiration of Scripture was verbal and plenary (Matt. 5:18).
- The scriptures as it stand is the only communication from God for the believer’s faith and conduct.
- The scripture was complete with the writing of the book of Revelation. (Rev. 22:18-19). There is no new Revelation, therefore nothing is to be added to scripture.
- I believe that the Bible should be interpreted literally using historical, grammatical and theological methods.
- The scripture cannot be interpreted without its meanings being revealed by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 2:9-16).
- I believe that the scripture is Dispensational. God’s revelation has been progressive in nature (Heb. 1:1; John 1:17).

- Is the Bible truly God’s word?
- What is meant by inspiration of the scriptures?
- Does the Bible have any errors, contradictions or discrepancies?
- What is canonicity?
- Is there any proof for the inerrancy and inspiration of scripture?
- How do we know the difference between terms such as revelation, inspiration, illumination and interpretation?
- What is the difference between a dynamic equivalent, a fluid equivalent, and a paraphrase version of the Bible?
- Are some translations better or more inspired than others?
- Are some translations more honoring to Christ or more easily memorized?
- What is meant by textual criticism?
