The Scriptures.
p.91

1. Collect and analyse the passages of the Old and New Testaments which use the expression, "The Scriptures."
2. Collect the references in the four Gospels which the Lord Jesus Christ made to the Scriptures. Did He believe that they were infallibly true?
3. What do you understand by "inspiration" in 2 Tim. 3:16?
4. What are your proof texts for the divine inspiration of Scripture ?
5. Does inspiration extend to the actual words of the originals, or only to the general idea of the passage?
6. Make a list of the figures used in Scripture to represent "The Word," e.g.. wheat, milk, &100: Note the contrasted figures, Chaff, poison, &100: for the words of man.
7. Give examples of fulfilled prophecy, showing the literal character of the fulfilment. Does the result of your enquiry lead you to "spiritualize" unfulfilled prophecy, or to expect for that also a literal fulfilment?
