D ll. W I I .L I A M CU LB ER T SO N President 9 M ood y ttible institute speaks on the fundamentals of the faith. A u th o r ity “God’s final authority for men today — a Book or a Church? Here is an emotional question for which many have a quick answer. ‘The Church,’ say some. ‘The Book,’ say others. ‘Neither,’ is the unbe lieving answer of still others. What about it? How hopeless we would be without an authoritative voice. But where is au thority? “ Did not the Church give us the Bible? Has not the Church been the custodian, the guardian of the Bible? So the Church must take precedence over the Bible, argue her advocates. No, the Church did not give us the Bible. But were the writers not members of the Church? The writers of the New Testament, yes. But remember that God’s use of them was as individuals. He did not give the Word through the corporate Church or through a Church council. The stress is on God as the Giver; not the Church. “But did not the Church designate the books to be included, and excluded? Yes, in the special providence of God. W ell, does that not mean that the Church is superior to that which it has designated? A simple illustration from Martin Luther will answer that question. To say that the fixing of the canon of the sacred Scrip tures is to make the Church which so designated them superior to them would be as foolish as maintaining that John the Baptist, who pointed out Christ to the multitudes, was superior to cite One he introduced. Wisdom from God to designate the books in the canon of Scripture should never be equated with superiority to these writings. “W e shall do well to rest upon the Word which is forever settled in heaven. The Church has true authority only inso far as her principles and practice are in conformity to the Word of God. Then she is fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners.” Every Christian should have a copy of Dr. Culbertson’s book God’s Provision for Holy Living.
