Rutherford on Prophecy

One of the main authors of the Westminster Confession on prophecy:

There are four kinds of revelation:
Prophetical (scripture)
Illumination
Facts peculiar to godly men (words of knowledge, etc)
False and Satanical

On facts peculiar to godly men, Rutherford explains that there is a revelation of some particular men who have foretold of things to come (ie. Luther, Hus, Wycliffe, Wishart, Knox) ever since the closing of the canon.

Grudem adds that the report of such things is prophecy. Hence, it is not contrary to the Westminster Confession that such a revelation (not inerrant, but always to be tested against the straight and truly inerrant, final and authoritative rule of canon) can be given to the people of God from time to time.

Jack Deere on Bible Deism

One of the most serious flaws of Bible deism is the confidence the Bible deist places in his abilities to interpret the Bible. He assumes that the greater his knowledge of the Bible, the more accurate his interpretations are... But the Author of the Bible is the best interpreter of the Bible... How does one persuade God to illumine the Bible? Does God give illumination to the ones who know Hebrew and Greek the most? What if the condition of one's heart is more important for understanding the Bible than the abilities of one's mind? (1 Cor 1:26-30; 1 Cor 2:7-10; John 5:37-40)
