Scripture

Does all scripture have equal authority? Or, are there key points of authority that should be used to interpet scripture?

Hay Lojo, Good question and welcome to the forum!

lojo,

Welcome! All scripture is equally inspired. All can be used to rebuke and train etc.. But we also do interpret scripture from other scripture. We interpret the inplicit with the explicit. So we do not take 1 verse out of context and say the Bible says this... One needs to have many scriptures to back up a position or to know what the Bible says about a certain topic.

So all scriptures is equally inspired but all scripture must be interpreted by other scriptures.
Does that make sense?

Hi, Lojo ~ have moved your thread to the Bible Study forum as it is more appropriate to be answered here. Thanks for your understanding.

But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:4-7 (NKJV)

Thanks for the welcome!
For example:
The 10 commandments and the teaching of Jesus.
Since these are the words of God would they not be the foundation or support for all other scripture, and able to stand alone? Or like you said BH6 all is equally inspired, (I take that to mean equally authority as well) which makes since to me too! Just confused on this point as I start to study the Bible and looking for a consensus.
