Is Scripture really our ultimate authority? Authority is what dictates what we will believe and do. Accordingly, J. I.

But such a view forgets that there is a human being between us and the Bible, which is why there are a multitude of interpretations of the Bible that people live by. Reformed theologians claim that a "testimony of the Spirit," confirms to us what is true. But there is no biblical or practical support for this.

Postmoderns are right, then, to assert that our own reason is the god we live by. But they are wrong to ignore that our ultimate objective authority is God, Who our reasoning will be judged by.
