THE CONFESSION OF FAITH ARTICLE V
The Dignity and Authority of The Bible
(continued)
It is impossible that unlearned men, as most of the Bible writers were (based on worldly standards), could make up such a book and doctrine of free sovereign grace. It is only by Divine light that they may speak of these mysteries which are hidden from the world, but which are revealed to the children. We think only of the Trinity, the incarnation of Christ, and the reconciliation of the sinner with God; these can never be devised by man himself, but they must be of the Lord.
This Word has amazed the world, has destroyed the idolatry of the heathens, has turned over the kingdom of Satan, and it will overcome the world, meaning that the whole world will hear it, although it will not be to the salvation of the whole world.
The fifth article ends with the statement: For the very blind are able to perceive that the things foretold in them are fulfilling. This means that the prophecies of the Bible have been fulfilled and will be fulfilled at God’s time, another proof that it is God’s Word. There are many examples, but we will mention only a few. Ahijah prophesied that Jeroboam would be the next king, and he received the ten tribes after the death of Solomon. The birth of King Josiah had been spoken of three hundred years before it took place, and he did that which was foretold of him - he burned the bones of the idolatrous priests. The exile of Judah was prophesied by several prophets, as it also came to pass. At the end of seventy years it came to an end, as was also foretold.
Not only the judgments, but also the promises will be fulfilled to the church of God. The Lord will remember His remnant, also in the dark days at the end of this world. There are books of other religions, such as the Talmud of the Jews, the Koran of the Moslims, etc., but in them we miss the testimony of the Holy Spirit. They are not of Divine authority, but are the work and imagination of men. With the Bible it is different. As with the sun, when we see it, we must acknowledge its existence and glory; likewise, when we read the Bible, we see, we feel and we taste the Divine authority and holiness of this Word.
ARTICLE VI
The Difference Between the Canonical and Apocryphal Books.
“We distinguish those sacred books from the apochryphal, namely, the third book of Esdras, the books of Tobias, Judith, Wisdom, Jesus Syrach, Baruch, the appendix to the book of Esther, song of the three Children in the Furnace, the history of Susannah, of Bell and the Dragon, the prayer of Manasses, and the two books of the Maccabees. All of which the Church may read and take instruction from, so far as they agree with the canonical books; but they are far from having such power and efficacy, as that we may from their testimony confirm any point of faith, or of the Christian religion; much less detract from the authority of the other sacred books.”
The sacred books here mentioned are the canonical books, which have Divine authority and are written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. This cannot be said of the apocryphal books. The word “apocryphal” means mysterious, doubtful, secret; the name already telling us that they were kept secret and were not used in the synagogues and in the first Christian churches, since they do not contain the rule for faith and life.
These apocryphal books came to us by way of the Septuagint, which is the oldest translation into the Greek language of the Hebrew Old Testament, dating to about 200 B.C. In general the Christians knew the Greek language, but did not know Hebrew, and therefore they began to read the Septuagint, which contained also the apocryphal books. At the Synod of Trent the Roman Catholic church accepted all the books of the Septuagint as canonical books and put everyone under censure who doubted the Divine authority of these books. Thus through the Septuagint and the Vulgate (the Roman Catholic Bible in Latin), the apocryphal books were used for fifteen centuries in the Christian church.
Luther and other reformers returned to the original Hebrew Bible and rejected the apocryphal books. Since for centuries they had been of Divine authority in the churches, it was necessary for the reformers to give a reason for doing so, and therefore we have this article in our confession. Today, in some of the older Bibles, you can find the apocryphal books as an appendix in the back, but their only importance is for a historical knowledge of the period between Malachi and the birth of the Lord Jesus.
The apocryphal books can be divided into those relating to the Old Testament and those relating to the New Testament. However, only those relating to the Old Testament will be mentioned, as these only are acknowledged by certain churches, among them the church of Rome. The originals of these books were probably written in Hebrew, although nothing is available to prove this. The writings which we have of them are all written in (or translated into) the Greek and Latin.
The apocryphal books can also be divided into classifications of historical books and doctrinal books. Those which are historical give some of the history of those days, but in them we find many fabulous things which are contrary to reality. In the doctrinal books we find many facts which are contrary to the doctrine of free grace and the commandments of the Lord. These errors make it very clear that the books were not written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, but were made by men; therefore they are without the necessary leading of God and cannot be made a part of the Bible. Next time, the Lord willing, we will mention a few of these errors to prove our statement that they are false teachings.

BIBLE QUIZ
Dear Boys and Girls,
In the Bible there is a history which we all know quite well. I am thinking of the story of Samuel when he went to anoint one of the sons of Jesse as the next king of Israel. As Samuel looked at the first son, he noticed his appearance, his height, his behavior, and thought that this surely must be the one. But the Lord said it was not. It is good when our behavior is proper and our appearance is neat, especially when we go into the house of God. How serious it is when the opposite is true.
But there is One Who sees deeper than the outward appearance of a person. The story tells us that the Lord looks in the heart. And what does He see there? If there is any good in the heart, the Lord Himself must place it there. For we read that the heart is desperately wicked. David begged the Lord for cleansing from sin, and this we all need. The Holy Spirit must teach us the condition of our heart, and then only will we turn to the Lord Jesus for cleansing from our sins. We must learn to pray, just as David did, “Lord, cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.”
The first letters of the answers spell out six words spoken by the Lord to Samuel in the story mentioned above.
Hezekiah prayed, “I beseech Thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked before Thee in ________ and with a perfect heart.”
David sang in Psalm 131, “Lord, my heart is not ______ , nor mine eyes lofty.”
Who was the first son of Jesse to pass before Samuel?
In Psalm 12 David spoke about the children of men who speak “with flattering ________ and with a double heart.”
In Lamentations 3 Jeremiah said, “Let us lift up _______ heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.”
The Lord Jesus, in the sermon on the mount, spoke about false prophets and said of them, “Inwardly they are ________ wolves.”
In the 17th chapter of his book, Jeremiah wrote, “The heart is _______ above all things and desperately wicked.”
In the following verse of that chapter, we read, “I the______ search the heart, I try the reins.”
In Luke 21 the Lord Jesus said, “Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be _______ with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life.”
Of Lydia we read, “whose heart the Lord___________, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.”
Proverbs tells us, “The ______ heart is in the hand of the Lord as the rivers of water.”
Who said to his servant Gehazi, “Whence comest thou, Gehazi?
The Pharisee prayed thus, “God I ________ Thee that I am not as other men are.”
After the plague of frogs was taken away, we read that Pharaoh “_______ his heart and hearkened not.”
The Lord Jesus said, “For from within, __________ of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders.”
Who was the king’s cupbearer, to whom the king said, “Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart.”
To His disciples the Lord Jesus said, “Let not your hearts be ________; ye believe in God, believe also in Me.”
Of what woman do we read that she was in the temple praying, and she spake in her heart; her voice was not heard?
In Proverbs 12 Solomon said, “Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine _______.”
One of the beatitudes is, “Blessed are the pure in _______; for they shall see God.”
Who said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother”?
To whom did Peter say, “Why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God”?
Who was the son of Solomon of whom we read, “And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord”?
“Jehu _______no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart.”

And now to answer our letters which we have received —
ANITA SCHOUTEN - Have you ever been in the Netherlands, Anita? You are really on the other side of the world from it. One of the Psalms speaks about the distance the east is from the west. Do you know where that is found, and what it is speaking about?
ANGELA STAM - Congratulations on your birthday, Angela, and we hope you may have many more. This will be several weeks late, but it is the best we can do. Did you get caught up in school again after missing that week because of the mumps?
IRENE VAN HEEK - You will be in Holland when this issue arrives, if all goes according to plans, Irene. We hope that you may have had a nice trip and that you arrive home safely again. The Lord’s care and protection is so necessary whether we are at home, or on the ground or in the air.
JAN VELDHUIZEN - We welcome you to the Bible quiz, Jan. We saw your school when it was being built, but we would like to visit one of your classes sometime. If we could visit all the boys and girls, we would need quite a long vacation.
AMY KAAT-Thank you for the stamps which you again sent, Amy. We were glad to hear that your father was feeling much better again. Sickness can come upon us so unexpectedly. What a great blessing when we are healthy, but we don’t think so much about it then.
ALICE HAMSTRA - It is true, Alice, that without practice we will not learn to play well. This is also true with other things -without study we shall not learn, without work we shall not earn. The apostle Paul said, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly.
JOHNNY JONKMAN - It was nice to hear from you, Johnny. You have a large family. I suppose it is good to be the youngest. Or don’t you think so? Can you name some persons in the Bible who were the youngest in their families?
JOY MAST - You rode a lot of miles that day, Joy. That’s almost as far as from Grand Rapids to Kalamazoo. Were there lots of bikes? How are the chicks doing? Are you planning to get any more animals for your farm?
JIM JONKMAN - Welcome to the Bible quiz, Jim. A few years ago we stayed overnight near Dundas, so I know where it is. If we ever stop there again, I will certainly have to visit some of my friends there. We hope you will write again.
BRUCE VERBLAAUW - We have been wondering how you are getting along, Bruce. So much can happen from one month to the next in every person’s life, but especially since you were to be operated on this past month. We hope that everything worked out well. Thank you for the picture which you sent me.
KARL VANDER MEULEN - Was the quiz fairly easy this month, Karl? I am sure that even some of the older boys and girls have a little trouble finding the answers at times. If you have a nice teacher in school, it makes going to school much more enjoyable.
CAROL MOL - We are having nice weather now, Carol, although it is still quite cool at night. But summer weather can’t be very far away. Since the Macedonia Mission Society is in New Jersey, we have no connections with them. Do you answer the questions in their booklets?
JOLEEN DEN HOED - Which question book did you use in your catechism class, Joleen? Did you go all through the book this year? Do you have a large class? It is always interesting to know what others are doing in their classes; that is why I asked the question.
MARGARET DEN BOER - We haven’t had much 80 degree weather yet, Margaret, but have had some very nice days. We hope your sister’s cut has healed nicely. That was not a very nice event for her birthday. Say Hello to your family for us.
IRENE SOMMER - I suppose you are thinking about summer holidays now, Irene. Or would you rather have school all summer? Especially if you like school real well, it is nice to be with your friends every day. Are you planning a trip this summer, if all is well?
BEVERLY, BARBARA and ROBERT SOUTHWAY - Yes, the apostle Paul spoke of the “unspeakable gift” given by the Lord, but, like the people of Nazareth, we see nothing special in Him unless the Holy Spirit teaches us Who He is. We hope and pray that we may each receive eyes to see and hearts to understand.
ANGELA CORNELIA STAM - We type all the Timothy section, Angela, and, of course, hope that it is ready by many people, but especially the young people. David said that the Word of the Lord was a light and a lamp for him, and our prayer is that it may become this for many of our young friends.
SHARON VAN DE VENDEL - I think all grandmothers are happy to have a visit from their children and grandchildren, Sharon, but especially if they are not able to see them too often. We hope you will always think about that, even when you are older.
JACQUELINE VAN HOEPEN - We are all quite well, Jacqueline. How was the report card? Or isn’t it that time yet? Did you do quite well teaching your visitors some English? We hope to have some visitors from Holland too this summer, D.V., but they already know some English.
GAIL DEN HOED - Sometimes we complain about weather we don’t like, Gail, such as too hot, too wet, too cool, too dry, etc., etc. Or don’t you ever do that? How seldom are we really satisfied! But all kinds of weather are necessary, and the Lord in His wisdom has appointed them.
JEANETTE VAN DEN BERG - I do not know of any Bible and Psalter available in one book, Jeanette. Often you will find the Dutch Bible with the Psalms in the same book, but not the English Bible and Psalter. If someone does know of this, I am sure they will let us know.
LISA NEELS - We like our new house quite well, Lisa. It takes time to get everything in its place. I have been in Chilliwack only once, and that was about five years ago. We hope that you can come to Kalamazoo someday. How is the garden growing?
And again we have reached the end for this month. We hope, boys and girls, that we may hear from all of you again next month, but most of all that the Word of God may be brought into your hearts by the Lord Himself, for then only shall it have lasting value.
With love,
Your friend,
“Uncle Garret”
A TRUE HERO AND HIS SWORD
During the terrible troubles in France in 1848, a band of ruffians took advantage of the unsettled state of affairs and terrorized a certain district not far from the city of Lyons. Their headquarters were in a wood, their numbers were formidable, and their daring and cruelty made them notorious. Their leader was a gifted young man well fitted to shine in a nobler field. His companions were all desperate characters who, as they had nothing to expect from society, carried on a warfare against it in a merciless spirit. They had sworn to live or to die together, and they had also taken an oath to kill any man of their number who attempted to desert.
Day after day the authorities were horrified by reports of fresh atrocities, but did not know how to act. At this time the lovers of the Bible in France were striving to circulate the Scriptures as widely as possible, while they were yet given the liberty to do so. There was a poor man living in Lyons who was distributing Bibles, and he heard, as most everyone had, of the murders, fires, and other villanies done by the gang. Feeling that his calling in this wicked world was to put the Word of God in men’s hands, he could not refrain from trying to warn and help even such wretches as these.
After much prayer, he packed his case with Testaments, and made his way to the wood. He had not travelled far through its gloomy thickets when a loud “Halt” brought him to a stand. In a moment he was surrounded with half-a-dozen guns pointed at his head. He was then marched off deeper into the forest and brought into the presence of the robber-chief and most of his men. He unswung his case from his back, opened it, and showed them the contents. Then, coolly and simply, he explained his errand. “The people everywhere invoke curses on you,” he said, “but while I am grieved at your wickedness, I cannot help pitying you. I have been thinking of the hell which men so wicked as you are surely kindling for yourselves. And I have been thinking, too, of the love and mercy you are so wickedly rejecting. Indeed, I cannot sleep or eat in quiet when I think of your dismal state, and here am I this morning that I may warn you to arise and flee from the wrath to come.”
The ruffians scowled and glanced at their leader for his signal. He also scowled and gave a signal which brought twelve gun-barrels pointing at the poor man’s head. “What a fool you are,” snarled the bandit, “to venture here at all, and especially on such a stupid errand! One movement of my finger, and you will die.”
“No, no,” replied the dauntless man with steady eye and firm voice; “it will cost you more than the trouble of lifting your finger, for the God Whom I serve and to Whose care I committed myself before I came here, will hold you to account for anything you may do to me. Me you cannot really harm, and why should you harm yourselves in vain in trying to harm me?” With that he calmly took his case of books and began to deal them round, one to each robber.
Everyone of these men was touched at the sight of a courage and daring greater than his own, and of a disinterested love unlike anything he had known. They took the books, escorted the good man to the edge of the wood, and quietly pointed out to him his way home. The wonderful result was that through reading the Word of God, the captain and several others underwent a saving change, and the robber band broke up.
Here then we have another proof that the sword of the Spirit, that is, the Word of God can cleave the hardest heart and cut through the strongest opposition. (Young People’s Magazine)
SAUL’S ARMOUR
When first my soul enlisted
My Saviour’s foes to fight,
Mistaken friends insisted
I was not armed aright.
So Saul advised David
He certainly would fail,
Nor could his life be saved
Without a coat of mail.
But David, though he yielded
To put the armour on,
Soon found he could not wield it,
And ventured forth with none.
With only sling and pebble,
He fought the fight of faith;
The weapons seemed but feeble,
Yet proved Goliath’s death.
Had I by him been guided,
And quickly thrown away
The armour men provided,
I might have gained the day.
But armed as they advised me,
My expectations failed;
My enemy surprised me,
And had almost prevailed.
Furnished with books and notions,
And arguments and pride,
I practiced all my motions,
And Satan’s power defied.
But soon perceived with trouble,
That those would do no good;
Iron to him is stubble,
And brass like rotten wood.
I triumphed at a distance,
While he was out of sight;
But faint was my resistance
When forced to join in fight.
He broke my sword in shivers,
And pierced my boasted shield;
Laughed at my vain endeavors,
And drove me from the field.
Satan will not be braved
By such a worm as I;
Then let me learn with David
To trust in the Most High;
To plead the Name of Jesus
And use the sling of prayer;
Thus armed, when Satan sees us,
Hell tremble and despair.
John Newton
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 2 Peter 3:14
