What are the different Christian viewpoints on the authority of the Bible?

Answer 1

A:Like anything else when dealing with humans most things go extreme left to moderate left to extreme right to moderate right all having no leanings for either way somewhere in the middle. A:Jehovah's Witnesses as Christians believe in the authority of The Bible.

The Bible is God's message to his human creation. It contains information about the 'Authority'. We can learn about his righteous requirements from The Bible. (The Bible was NOT written for angels. They have their own 'instructions; and assignments'.)

We believe that Jehovah God is the Creator; and thus due to his Creatorship he has the RIGHT to author Laws, and Rules.

A:A few notable sayings about the "authority" of the Bible from some folks you may have heard of:

Abraham Lincoln: I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good from the Saviour of the world is communicated to us through this book.

George Washington: It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.

Daniel Webster: If there is anything in my thoughts or style to commend, the credit is due to my parents for instilling in me an early love of the Scriptures. If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible , our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.

Patrick Henry: The Bible is worth all other books which have ever been printed.

U.S. Grant: The Bible is the anchor of our liberties.

Andrew Jackson: That book, sir, is the rock on which our republic rests.

John Quincy Adams: So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of society. I have for many years made it a practise to read through the Bible once every year.

Sir Isaac Newton:There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history.
