“...Under the name of Holy Scripture, or the Word of God written, are now contained all the books of the Old and New Testaments... All which are given by inspiration of God to be the rule of faith and life...The books commonly called Apocrypha, not being of divine inspiration, are no part of the canon of the Scripture, and therefore are of no authority in the church of God, nor to be any otherwise approved, or made use of, than other human writings.” (Westminster Confession of Faith ch I pts. 1–2)
I believe in the inspiration and infallibility of the Scriptures in their original manuscripts, that the text has been for the majority been transmitted faithfully in its original languages (Hebrew for the Old Testament and Greek for the New Testament) and that as far as any translation holds true to the contextual meaning of the original it too is infallible. Any quotation must be used in a matter keeping with the context both textually and historically.
