DOCTRINE OF THE WORD OF GOD

Lecture Outline (1)

These are Dr. Frame's systematic theology lecture outlines for the doctrine of the Word of God. Though only in outline format, they are highly detailed and hopefully useful to all.

 

 

Introduction

I.The Comprehensiveness of God’s covenant Lordship.

A. Centrality of Lordship in Scripture: "Lord," (Yahweh. Adonai, Kurios) is the basic    covenant name of God, Ex. 3:13-15,6:1-8; cf. John 8:59, Rom. 14:9.

1. Use in confessions of faith: Deut. 6:4ff; cf. Rom. 10:9, I Cor. 12:3, Phil. 2:11. 
2. God performs his might acts "that they might know that I am the Lord," Ex. 14: 18, I Kings 8:43, Ps. 9: 10, etc. 
3. "I am Lord, I am he," Isa. 41:4,43:10-13, etc.

B.Lordship is a covenantal concept.

1. "Covenant": relation between the Lord and a people whom he has sovereignly consecrated to himself. He rules over them by the sanctions of his law and fulfills in and through them the purposes of his grace. 
2. Lordship is a relation. Where you have a Lord, you have servants, i.e. a people over whom the Lord rules. "Lord" names God as head of the covenant relationship. The centrality of lordship implies the centrality of covenant, and vice versa.

PENGECUALIAN TERHADAP HUKUM KE 6: ‘JANGAN MEMBUNUH’

John Murray: “The Commandment is not in the general term of prohibiting the putting to death of another, as our word ‘kill’ might suggest. The term used in the commandment is the specific one to denote what we call ‘murder.’” [= Hukum ini bukanlah dalam istilah umum melarang membunuh orang lain, seperti kata ‘kill’ dalam bahasa kita. Istilah yang digunakan dalam hukum ini adalah istilah spesifik yang menunjuk pada apa yang kita sebut ‘murder’] - ‘Principles of Conduct’, hal 113.

John Stott: “The commandment ‘You shall not kill’ would be better expressed ‘Do not commit murder’ (NEB), for it is not a prohibition against taking all human life in any and every circumstance, but in particular against homicide or murder” [= Hukum ‘Jangan membunuh (kill)’ akan dinyatakan dengan lebih baik ‘Jangan melakukan murder’ (NEB), karena itu bukan merupakan suatu larangan terhadap pembunuhan / pengambilan semua nyawa manusia dalam seadanya dan setiap keadaan, tetapi secara khusus terhadap pembunuhan atau ‘murder’] - ‘The Message of the Sermon on the Mount’, hal 82.

Catatan: dalam bahasa Inggris dibedakan antara ‘to kill’ dan ‘to murder’, dan John Murray maupun John Stott mengatakan bahwa yang dilarang adalah ‘to murder’, bukan ‘to kill’. Tetapi dalam bahasa Indonesia tidak ada pembedaan seperti itu. Jamieson, Fausset & Brown juga melakukan pembedaan seperti ini.
