Bibliology
Bible unity
the Bible is a perfect whole, inspired by the one true and living God
the unity of Scripture is shown by how everything fits together perfectly (Old and New Testaments)
the unity of Scripture is shown by its unswerving message of God's plan of redemption through Jesus (from Genesis [see 3:15 the Seed to come] to Revelation [see 22:13,20 the Alpha and the Omega Who is coming soon])
the unity of Scripture is shown when the Bible is correctly interpreted and handled
antinomy (an tin´oh me)
there are no true contradictions in the Bible
antinomy is when two Bible truths seem contradictory to our finite minds
we do not have to (and we must not) choose between the two truths (it's not either a or b)
we are to renew our minds according to all that God's Word says (both a and b)
we are to accept and believe all of God's truths (stand a and b side by side - accept and believe both without flinching)
we are to continue working toward a biblical understanding of how all of God's truths fit together (all the a's and all the b's)
we are to think, speak, and act upon all of God's truths with full confidence in His Word and the perfect unity of it
