João 10

João 10

Moule says,"He [Christ] absolutely trusted the Bible, and, though there are in it things inexplicable and intricate that have puzzled me so much, I am going, not in a blind sense, but reverently to trust the Book because of Him" (p. 138). SPECIAL TOPIC: THE BIBLE (its uniqueness and inspiration) F F Bruce on cannot be broken - ‘Scripture cannot be annulled’ or ‘made void’ (Mark 7:13+); it cannot be set aside when its teaching is inconvenient. What is written remains written.” (Quoted by David Guzik) NET NOTE - The parenthetical note And the Scripture cannot be broken belongs to Jesus' words rather than the author's. Not only does Jesus appeal to the OT to defend Himself against the charge of blasphemy, but He also adds that the Scripture cannot be "broken." In this context he does not explain precisely what is meant by "broken," but it is not too hard to determine. Jesus' argument depended on the exact word used in the context of Ps 82:6. If any other word for "judge" (ED: OTHER THAN "ELOHIM") had been used in the psalm, His argument would have been meaningless. Since the Scriptures do use this word in Ps 82:6, the argument is binding, because they cannot be "broken" in the sense of being shown to be in error. Rob
