How do you react to Calvin’s assertion:
Scripture exhibits fully as clear evidence of its own truth
as black and white things do of their colour or sweet and bitter things do of
their taste.
In this sentence Calvin is refuting the argument that the
Church is responsible for decisions on the truth of material contained in the
Canon of Scripture, the Bible. Calvin is
saying that scripture’s truth was clear before the foundation of the Church,
that it self- authenticates. What more
evidence do you need in a world that seems to demand evidence for every event
and observation? Many would take as
evidence material on social media as truth, whilst others consider scientific
experiments as infallible. Yet they
would have problem with the scriptures –denying their inspiration by God and
the copious documentary and archaeological material that points to their
veracity. How true are the scriptures
for you?
