SD 1.3
Savoy Declaration
1.3. Of the Holy Scripture
All which are given by the inspiration of God to be the rule of faith and life.
Proof texts
- Luke 24:27, 44 — [27] And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. [44] Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
- Rom. 3:2 — [2] Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.
- 2 Pet. 1:21 — [21] For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
For discussion
- The Assembly cited Luke 24:27, 44 in support of this answer. Read it in context — how does it bear on what is claimed here?
- 3 passages are cited here. Which does the most work, and is anything claimed that the proofs do not obviously carry?
- WCF 1.1 treats the same ground. What does it add, and why might it put things differently?
- 1689 1.1 treats the same ground. What does it add, and why might it put things differently?
