Two Monday Morning Quotes for the price of one!
“Nor can it be said that these corruptions [of the text] are only in smaller things which do not affect the foundation of faith. For if once authenticity (authentia) of the Scriptures is taken away (which would result even from the incurable corruption of one passage), how could our faith rest on what remains? And if corruption is admitted in those of lesser importance, why not in others of greater?”
Francis Turretin, Institutes, Volume 1, p. 71.
“The canon of the Bible must be found in that logical deduction which the child of faith must draw from II Tim. 3:14-17, that if the sacred writings were given by our sovereign God that His chosen people, called to be saints, might profit from them, surely He has brought His church to receive those writings as of authority among them.”
E. W. Johnson, Questions Concerning the Bible, Pine Bluff, AR: Sovereign Grace Publishers, 1984, p. 33
