The Inspiration of Scripture

By Editor

WE are glad to reproduce such healthful and truthful expressions on the inspiration of the Scriptures as the following from the New York Independent:—

“Paul, in quoting from one of the psalms, prefaces the quotation with these words: ‘Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith.’ This shows what he thought of the thing said. Through the man who wrote the psalm the Holy Ghost spake. The language, though human, was, nevertheless, the language of the Holy Ghost. This is the general position of the New Testament in respect to the sacred writings composing the Old Testament. If we accept the former, we must also accept the latter as being the word of God.”
