Textual critic F. J. A. Hort, "The New Testament in the Original Greek", vol. 1 p561, Macmillan Co., quoted in Questions of Lifep. 25-26 "Na verdade e plenitude das evidências e contexto, o Novo Testamento está em absoluta e inalcançável posição dentre outras escrituras antigas."

Um Livro Inpirado por Deus Heb.4:12 "For the word of God is living and active..." Jesus said (Mt.4:4)," It is written, Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds [lit., is proceeding] from the mouth of God." As we read the Bible, God's Spirit is there to speak it to our hearts in a continually-fresh way. 2 Tim.3:16 declares, " All scripture is inspired by God [lit., God-breathed]." Do you believe this? Before you answer, consider Jesus' attitude toward the Scriptures.

John R.W. Stott, Cristo o Controverso, Editora InterVarsity 1978, pp.93-95 He referred to the human authors, but took it for granted that behind them all was a single divine Author. He could equally say 'Moses said' or 'God said' (Mk.7:10). He could quote a comment of the narrator in Genesis 2:24 as an utterance of the Creator Himself (Mt.19:4-5). Similarly He said, 'Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written', when what He went on to quote is the direct speech of the Lord God (Mk.7:6 & Is.29:13). It is from Jesus Himself that the New Testament authors have gained their conviction of the dual authorship of Scripture. For them it was just as true to say that 'God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets' (Heb.1:1) as it was to say that 'men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God' (2 Pe.1:21). God did not speak in such a way as to obliterate the personality of the human authors, nor did men speak in such a way as to corrupt the Word of the divine Author. God spoke. Men spoke. Neither truth must be allowed to detract from the other. ... This, then, was Christ's view of the Scriptures. Their witness was God's witness. The testimony of the Bible is the testimony of God. And the chief reason why the Christian believes in the divine origin of the Bible is that Jesus Christ Himself taught it.

2 Tim.3:16 goes on, " and profitable for teaching, for correction, for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." If we accept that the Bible really is God speaking to us, it follows that it will be our authority in all matters of faith and conduct. Um Livro que Funciona What will studying the Bible do for you? 1 Thess.2:13 says that the Bible " performs its work in you who believe." Beside each scripture, write down the work the Word performs. O que o Estudo Bíblico faz para os cristãos? Referência Ação Ef 5.26 santificação -- "..., tendo-a purificado com a lavagem da água, pela palavra" At 20.32 builds up -- " ...the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. " Rm 15.4 Encoraja -- "porquanto, tudo que dantes foi escrito, para nosso ensino foi escrito, para que, pela constância e pela consolação provenientes das Escrituras, tenhamos esperança" Rm 10.17 Dá fé -- "Logo a fé é pelo ouvir, e o ouvir pela palavra de Cristo" 1 Co 10.11 Instrui -- "Ora, tudo isto lhes acontecia como exemplo, e foi escrito para aviso nosso..." Mt 4.4 Nutre -- "Mas Jesus lhe respondeu: Está escrito: Nem só de pão viverá o homem, mas de toda palavra que sai da boca de Deus"

Um Livro que Liberta Jn.8:32 " and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."This is usually quoted by itself. Is this a conditional or unconditional promise? Would it apply to all kinds of knowledge? Find the answers by examining the first half of the sentence, in v.31. " If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine..." We see that this is a conditional promise, specifically speaking of the truth of God's word. The Greek word for "wind" used in Eph.4:14 means a violent wind." As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine..."One thing studying the Bible does for us is to ground us in the truth, with the result that we won't be easily "blown away." But Jesus answered and said to them," You are mistaken [KJV Ye do err], not understanding the Scriptures, or the power of God." Mt.22:29 Quais as duas coisas que nós precisamos para escapar do erro?

Exortações 2 Tim.2:15 (KJV) " Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Col.3:16 " Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you; with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God." Se você é rico em alguma coisa, quanto disso você tem? Não só um pouquinho! Eccl.12:11-12 " The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd. But beyond this, my son, be warned: the writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body." Apendice: "De uma vez por todas"

John R. W. Stott, Christ the Controversialist,InterVarsity Press 1978, pp.106-107 The truth regarding the finality of God's initiative in Christ is conveyed by one word of the Greek Testament, namely the adverb hapaxand ephapax. It is usually translated in the Authorized Version once, meaning once for all. It is used of what is so done as to be of perpetual validity and never need repetition, and is applied in the NT to both revelation and redemption. Thus, Jude refers to the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3), and Romans says, " Christ also died for sins once for all" (Rom.6:10, see also 1 Pe.3:18; Heb.9:26-28). Thus we may say that God has spoken once for all and Christ has suffered once for all. This means that the Christian revelation and the Christian redemption are both alike in Christ complete. Nothing can be added to either without being derogatory to Christ... These are the two rocks on which the Protestant Reformation was built -- Gods revealed word without the addition of human traditions and Christ's finished work without the addition of human merits. The Reformers great watchwords were sola scripturafor our authority and sola gratiafor our salvation.
