THE DOCTRINE OF SCRIPTURE
Deus est------ GOD IS. Many studies in theology begin with the doctrine of Scripture because our faith is predicated upon the teaching of Scripture. However, since it is the means by which God reveals knowledge, it is only logical to commence with an examination of the existence of God, and afterwards to examine "Deus locutus est" --- "God hath Spoken" and the doctrine of divine revelation.
"I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass; and forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?" Isaiah 51:12-13
