Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel – Scripture | Rapp Report Daily 0137 | Striving for Eternity

Scripture Alone as the Final Authority

Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications. This is a ministry of striving for eternity.

We are looking at the statement on social justice in the gospel available for you to read and sign at statementonsocialjustice .com starting with article 1 scripture. We affirm that the Bible is God's word breathed out by him.

It is inerrant, infallible, and the final authority for determining what is true, means what we must believe, and what is right, how we must live. All truth claims and ethical standards must be tested by God's final word, which is scripture alone.

We deny that Christian belief, character, or conduct can be dictated by any other authority. And we deny that the postmodern ideologies derived from intersexuality, radical feminism, and critical race theory are consistent with biblical teachings.

We further deny that the competency to teach on any biblical issues comes from any qualification for spiritual people other than the clear understanding and simple communication of what is revealed in scripture.

Why This First Article Matters

Why is this an important article to start with? Well, because everything else that we're going to see after this article is going to be argued from scripture. This is where we as Christians get our arguments from, where we say what we believe and how we live.

This is what's at stake with this issue on social justice. It's how we believe things. What do we believe? How do we live? We get that from scripture and scripture alone.
