〈聖經的本性與權威〉,《聖經論》/ 柯志明教授

「聖經都是神所默示的,於教訓、督責、使人歸正、教導人學義都是有益的,叫屬神的人得以完全,預備行各樣的善事」(提摩太後書3:16)。
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3. 16).

「所謂上帝的默示是指上帝自己感動聖經作者,將祂要向人講的話傳給他們,並讓他們用自己的話寫出來」(柯志明,〈聖經的本性與權威〉,《聖經論》,頁47。)

“The so-called inspiration of God means that God himself inspired the writer of the Bible, passed on what He wanted to tell people, and let them write it in their own words” (Immanuel Chih-Ming Ke, The Nature and Authority of the Bible,” Bibliology, page 47).

「被默示者如同其他人一樣有著人所能有的自由,但卻又被上帝自由地使用;上帝的自由透過人的自由展現,且完美地實現祂自己的旨意;人的話表達著上帝的話,上帝的話被包含在人的話中。我們要特別強調,領受上帝默示的人在上帝默示的過過程中是個完完全全的人,為失去任何他作為一個人的特質,但上帝卻也完全地使用,讓他講說祂要向人說的話」(柯志明,〈聖經的本性與權威〉,《聖經論》,頁48-49。)

“The inspired person has the freedom that humans have, just like everyone else, but is freely used by God; the freedom of God is revealed through the freedom of humans and God fulfills His will perfectly; the words of humans express the word of God, and the word of God is contained in the words of humans. We must emphasize that the person who received God ’s inspiration was a complete person in the process of God ’s inspiration. He did not lose any of his qualities as a person, but God also used him completely. God made him write what God wants to tell people” (Immanuel Chih-Ming Ke, The Nature and Authority of the Bible,” Bibliology, page 48-49).

「默示教義的根本功能就在於確立聖經不可誤的真理性,因為唯有全然出於上帝之直接啟示的文本才可能是真實無誤的文本」(柯志明,〈聖經的本性與權威〉,《聖經論》,頁50-51)。
“The fundamental function of the doctrine of inspiration is to establish the truth of the Bible inerrancy, because only texts that are completely inspired directly by God can be true and inerrant” (Immanuel Chih-Ming Ke, The Nature and Authority of the Bible,” Bibliology, page 50-51).
