[24] MATT. 22:29,31. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying. EPH. 2:20. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone. With ACTS 28:25. And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers.
Thus the revelation of God in the Scriptures stands as incontrovertible and dispositive, which is to say that the Scriptures themselves are not a private interpretation of mere mortals. The Scriptures come from the will of God not the will of men.
I assert that one always receives the Scriptures as the revelation of God and therefore incontrovertible and dispositive when he has also received the power of God through the indwelling Spirit, because the Spirit Himself authenticates the words as His own. Which is the substance of the verses in footnote 24 plus Peter's testimony above.
Moved by the Holy Spirit but the words were the words were the words of instrument(s) he used.. No doubt the prophets had different personalitys and qualia.. The feeling of the scripture they wrote was unique.. as were the gospels.. and letters of Paul.. What a wonderful thing.. that scripture can have "a personality".. Moved to be written by the Holy Spirit but with/a personality of the writer..
Like a painting painted with colors on different types of media.. wood, stone, glass, precious stone or even holographic metaphor(that is a vision).. Never saw theis verse this way before.. thanks..
No, I think it is misinterpreted to mean that every Jo and Jane can read the bible and say "Holy Spirit explained this to me..." and believe it instead of recognizing that it is their private opinion. Tha's when you get the "It must be true. God told me so" statements. Sure...that must be it.
