Passionate Theology Moments Ep. 2 Inspiration of the Scripture by J C Ryle

Here I stand Today during passionate theology moments.

We are going to be looking at an excerpt from the book the old paths by J .C.

Ryle Chapter 1 the inspiration of the scripture

J .C. Ryle said if Christians have no divine book to turn to is their warrant of doctrine and practice they have no solid ground for present peace or hope and They have no right to claim the attention of mankind

They are building on a quicksand and their faith is vain We ought to be able to say boldly we are what we are and we do what we do

Because we have here a book which we believe to be the Word of God The subject is one of Peculiar importance in this present day and by the way his present day was in the early 1900s

He said infidelity and skepticism abound Everywhere in one form or another they are to be found in every rank and class of society

Thousands of Englishmen are not ashamed to say that they regard the Bible as an

Obsolete old Jewish book which has no special claim on our faith and obedience and that it contains many inaccuracies and defects

Myriads who will not go so far as this are Wavering and shaken in their belief and show plainly by their lives that they are not quite sure

The Bible is true I'll said in a day like this the true

Christian should be able to set his foot down firmly and To render a reason of his confidence in God's Word He should be able by sound arguments to Meet and to silence the gainsayer if he cannot convince him

He should be at least able to show good cause Why he thinks the

Bible is from heaven and not from men Thanks for spending this passionate theology moment with us here
