RE: Contending for the Faith Series: Eisegesis or Exegesis?
Why is what the Bereans studied considered to be scripture?
On what basis did the Bereans determine that what they studied to seek truth is "scripture"?
@dwells, that's a pretty good exestential question. I'm not sure why they considered it Scripture, since I never met them. What I can say is that I consider the Torah to be scripture because it is truth, and the Spirit inside of me testifies to my spirit that it is truth. The fact that the Torah is scripture seems self evident to me now, but I guess I never stopped to question why I believe that. Nonetheless, the end result is the same. The Bereans believed it to be true and so do I. I'm sure there are plenty of athiests and skeptics who would like to argue that point, but it doesn't matter. Truth is revealed by God.
