God spoke \u2026 through the prophets.<\/p>\n
The Bible, Hebrews 1:1<\/i><\/p>\n
For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n
The Bible, 2 Peter 1:21<\/i><\/p>\n
Let us therefore yield ourselves and bow to the authority of the Holy Scriptures, which can neither err nor deceive.<\/p>\n
Augustine of Hippo<\/i><\/p>\n
I do not understand the Doctrine of Luther, or Calvin, or Melancthon, nor the Confession of Augusta, or Geneva, nor the Catechism of Heidelberg, nor the Articles of the Church of England, no nor the Harmony of Protestant Confessions, but that wherein they all agree, and which they all subscribe with a greater harmony, as a perfect rule of their faith and action; that, is, the BIBLE. The BIBLE, I say, the BIBLE only, is the Religion of Protestants. I am fully assured that God does not and therefore that men ought not to require any more of any man than this, to believe the Scripture to be God\u2019s Word, to endeavor to find the true sense of it, and to live according to it.<\/p>\n
William Chillingworth<\/i><\/p>\n
The authority of Scripture must be followed in all things, for in it we have the truth as it were in its secret haunts.<\/p>\n
John Scotus Erigena<\/i><\/p>\n
Unless I am convicted of error by the testimony of Scripture or by manifest reasoning I stand convicted by the Scriptures to which I have appealed, and my conscience is taken captive by God\u2019s word. I cannot or will not recant anything. For to act against our conscience is neither safe for us, nor open to us.<\/p>\n
Martin Luther<\/i><\/p>\n
Let us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.<\/p>\n
J.C. Ryle<\/i><\/p>\n
Our claim is that God has revealed himself by speaking; that this divine (or God-breathed) speech has been written down and preserved in Scripture; and that Scripture is, in fact, God\u2019s word written, which therefore is true and reliable and has divine authority over men.<\/p>\n
John Stott<\/i><\/p>\n
Authority resides in God\u2019s inspired Word (the Bible) interpreted by God\u2019s Spirit operating through Spirit-taught human agents.<\/p>\n
M.F. Unger<\/i><\/p>\n
The authority of the holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed, and obeyed, dependeth not upon the testimony of any man, or church; but wholly upon God (who is truth itself) the author thereof: and therefore it is to be received, because it is the Word of God.<\/p>\n
