성경의 영감 (구약과 신약)
목표
- 영감, 언어, 그리고 완전함 을 정의하라.
- 영감의 잘못된 2 가지 견해를 나열하고 설명하라
- 영감의 적절한 견해를 베드로후서 1장 19-21절에 의하여 설명하라
- 성경의 무호성을 논리적으로 변호하라
용어
- 영감: 하나님께서 숨 쉬신.
- 언어: 성경에 있는 모든 말들은 귀중하다.
- 완전함: 하나님이 성경을 모두 숨 쉬셨다.
- 자연 이치: 인간 작가들은 성경을 아무런 신성한 개입 없이 썼다.
- 구술 이치: 하나님은 인간의 통제 하에 성경을 쓰셨다.
- 무오: 성경은 성경을 부인하지 못한다, 또한 현실을 부인하지 않는다.
영감은 무엇인가?
영어로는, 영감은 "숨을 들이쉬다" 라는 뜻이다.하지만 하나님 말씀의 언급으로 쓰면, 하지만 하나님 말씀을 언급으로 쓰면 "하나님이 인간 저자에게 숨을 내쉬다 "말씀하시다" 라는 뜻입니다. 많은 번역들 중에서, 통역사들은 영감 이라는 단어를 자주 썼습니다.예를 들어 영어 표준판 같은데서는 용어 그 자체: 하나님이 숨셨다 라는 뜻을 습니다. "영감"이라는 단어가 당신을 혼란시키게 하지마십시오; 이 문자 그대로의 뜻은 "하나님이 숨을 들이마셨다" 입니다 ."
성경은 성경의 저작권의 대해서 많이 말한다. 하지만 하나님이 성경을 숨쉬셨다는 것을 확고이 한 두가지 구절을 보십시오: 히브리서 4:12 , 예레미야 23:9.
히브리서 4장12절 하나님의 말씀은 살아잇고 활력이 있어 좌우에 날선 어떤것보다도 예리하여 혼과 영과 및 관절과 골수를 찔러 쪼개기 까지 하며 또 미음의 생각과 뜻을 판단하나니
예레미야 23장29절여호와의 말씀이니라 내 말이 불같지 아니하냐 바위를 쳐서 부스러뜨리는 방망이 같지 아니하냐
성경이 하나님의 말씀이라고 주장하고 보지 않는한 성경을 완전하게 이해할수 없다. 당신은 이 사실을 인정하지 않을수도 있습니다 하지만 당신은 성경이 하나님의 말씀으로 여겨진다는걸 알아야 합니다.
당신은 사람들이 성경에 언어 그리고 완전함 영감을 믿는다고 들을겁니다. 그럼 과연 무엇을 뜻하는 걸까요? 언어의 뜻은 "모든 단어" 그리고 완전함은 "전체의" 라는 뜻입니다. They believe all the words written by the original authors in the original manuscripts were inspired. 그 사람들은 모든 말씀이 근원 That means the Old and New Testaments are inspired. There is no part of the Bible that we can delete or ignore without consequence.
성경은 어떻게 영감받았나?
어떻게 하나님의 말씀이 성경이 되었을까요? 베드로후서 1장 19-21절이 무엇이 일어났는지 명확하게 보여줍니다.
베드로 후서 1:19-21
하지만 넘어가지전에 그릇된 관점을 봅시다. First is the natural theory: humans wrote the Bible without divine involvement. Paul wrote his books independent of Moses, or Jude, or Peter.
There's also the dictation theory: God had physical and mental control of the authors writing the Bible. In a sense he was piloting the body and mind of Paul as he wrote. There's a problem: often the authors say things from a human perspective, which wouldn't be possible if they weren't involved. Then the Bible would either be lying, or parts of it would not be God breathed.
According to 2 Peter, Scripture isn't open to private interpretation because it is the Word of God written by holy men moved by the Holy Spirit. Just like the wind directs ships, God's spirit moved men to write the words that he wanted. The same person can play the same song with different instruments and each time it will sound unique. Or the same person can write the same message with different pens and it will be unique. In both examples, all the variations are still the author's work.
God was in charge of the authoring of his word, but he used humans to write and "flavor" his words as well. John MacArthur says "The Greek word for “interpretation” has the idea of a “loosing,” as if to say no Scripture is the result of any human being privately “untying” and “loosing” the truth. Peter’s point is not so much about how to interpret Scripture, but rather how Scripture originated, and what its source was. The false prophets untied and loosed their own ideas. But no part of God’s revelation was unveiled or revealed from a human source or out of the prophet’s unaided understanding (see 1:21)."
What Does This Mean?
The Bible is inerrant, which means that it is not false in any way. Wayne Grudem, an American theologian, says “The inerrancy of Scripture means that Scripture in the original manuscripts does not affirm anything that is contrary to fact.” It does not contradict itself, nor does it contradict reality. There's a pretty simple reason for this. Because the Bible is God's word breathed out by him, it cannot contain errors. Let's look at the parts of this statement.
대전제: 모든 말씀은 하나님께서 내뿜으신겁니다. We see this in 디모데후서 3장16-17절 which states that God has breathed out the Bible, which is why it is profitable.
소전제: 하나님은 언제나 사실을 말하십니다.. We see this many places in the Bible, but Dr. Nathan Crockett points out three in particular:
민수기 23장19절 하나님은 사람이 아니시니 거짓말을 하지 않으시고 인생이 아니시니 후회가 없으시도다 어찌 그 말씀하신 바를 행하지 않으시며 하신 말씀을 실행하지 않으시랴
디도서 1장2절 ...영생의 소망을 위함이라 이 영생은 거짓이 없으신 하나님이 영원 전부터 약속하신 것인데....
히브리서 6장18절 ...이는 하나님이 거짓말을 하실 수 없는 이 두 가지 변하지 못할 사실로 말미암아 앞에 있는 소망을 얻으려고 피난처를 찾은 우리에게 큰 안위를 받게 하려 하심이라.
결론: 모든 성서는 옳습니다. If the Bible is God's word, and God never lies, then all the Bible must be true. This allows for things like human observation, rounded numbers, and natural language. It is not a lie for me to say that it takes me 7 minutes to get home. It is not a lie for me to describe the appearance of the sun in the morning as "rising." It is not a lie for me to say there are dozens of people in this building. Since humans helped write the Bible it's reasonable that they would do the same things we do: round, estimate, and observe.
The Bible is special and unique. It is the only written work we have that contains the words of God. There have been many great books in human history, but the Bible is not just a great work of literature. It is the actual words of the person who created us. Does that give us a higher view of the Bible than other books?
How Do We Apply This?
We should study the Bible. The person who created you bothered to write down his thoughts and commands for you. Does that motivate you to know what he said? When you know that I will test you on something, you pay close attention. And you must realize that life will test us on things that God has told us in his word. So study it to prepare yourself, but also study it because you love the person who wrote it.
We should share the Bible and its teachings with others. The Bible contains the most important message: how to be in a right relationship with the one who created us. If you have heard it and accepted it, you have a responsibility to share it with others. But we should also spread the words of God around the world. Do you remember when Dr. Park came to present her translation ministry? What she's doing is important. She's making sure that people have God's word in their own language. You can have a part in that ministry. You might not be able to translate or give tons of money, but you can spread the good news here in our city.
We should trust God's word because of where it came from. God is the author, God is truth, and God cannot lie. It is as trustworthy as its author. Assuming you believe there is a God, then you must believe his word, and we can. We can have assurance of salvation through God's word and its ministry to us.
What do you think of the Bible? Do you hate the Bible, hate listening to it, and hate being around those who love it? The Bible says those who do not believe God will think it is foolish, and if it's foolish to you, you aren't saved. If you see heaven as the less painful alternative to hell, then you don't understand the purpose of salvation. Salvation isn't designed to get you out of hell, it's designed to bring God glory. A speaker at Bob Jones said "Heaven is not a place for people who can't stand the thought of hell. Hell is a place for people who can't stand the thought of heaven." So from a negative perspective, you can know you're not saved if you hate God's word.
But the Bible assures believers of salvation as it ministers to and resonates with us. Sometimes the strongest believer sees little when they read it. But there are many more times of searching the Bible and seeing the change that God is making in you. When I was in college there was a span of several weeks where I read nothing but the Bible except what I had to read for class. When I finished my homework or other responsibilities I would climb into my bunk, pick up my Bible, and dive into it for hours. That was a positive confirmation of my salvation, because I love God's words. Do I always feel that way? No, but I know that I do not hate the words of God. I know that they minister to me, and both of these are evidences of my salvation.
That's why I believe in the inspiration of the Bible.
