Spurgeon on Infallibility
Charles Spurgeon
“If the Book be not infallible, where shall we find infallibility? We have given up the Pope, for he has blundered often and terribly; but we shall not set up instead of him a horde of popelings fresh from college. Are these correctors of the Scriptures infallible?
Is it certain that our Bibles are not right, but that the critics must be so? Now, Farmer Smith, when you have read your Bible, and have enjoyed its precious promises, you will have tomorrow morning, to go down the street to ask the scholarly man at the parsonage whether this portion of the Scripture belongs to the inspired part of the Word or whether it is of dubious authority . . .
“We shall gradually be so bedoubted and be criticized that only a few of the most profound will know what is Bible and what is not, and they will dictate to the rest of us. I have no more faith in their mercy than in their accuracy . . . And we are fully assured that our old English version of the Scriptures is sufficient for plain men for all purposes of life, salvation, and goodness.
We do not despise learning, but we will never say of culture of criticism, ‘These be thy gods, O Israel.’”
