A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – This quote was a response from a reader who was understandably critical of my constant quoting of verses to interpret Scripture.
My response…
Absolutely true! When one uses the Bible to defend the Bible it is nothing more than circular reasoning. And, for those who reject the Scriptures as written by the Creator of the universe, Wikipedia defines the term well….
“Circular reasoning “circle in proving”; also known as circular logic is a logical fallacy in which the reasoner begins with what they are trying to end with.”
However, for those who, by faith, believe God wrote the original autographs of the Bible, and that it has been protected down through the ages, what better resource to explain who God is and what He is trying to tell us than the remaining 73,000 words contained within it?
The 66 books of the Bible, penned by approximately 35 individuals, is a testimony of the unified work of one author, God. If one believes He is omniscient then His masterpiece should be able to stand on its own and forces us, as believers, to reconcile the entire work against itself. As we inevitably fail in certain aspects of that attempt, we need to have faith He will show us the truths that will bring about salvation and wait for answers to open questions on the other side of the grave.
