The Divine Authority of the Bible   “So, then, the efficacy and virtue of the Scripture to produce love for God and our enemies, to purify the heart, to pacify the conscience, to rectify both the whole constitution and conversation of a man, to take him off from the delights of the world and flesh, to make him glory in afflictions, sing in the flames, triumph over death; all these and more do necessarily conclude the Divine authority of the Scriptures.”     -- John Trapp (1601-1669)
