Scriptural Authority For New Writings

   As shown elsewhere (2 Timothy 3:16-17), the Bible contains correct
   answers to all major questions of life. However, God wants Christian
   writers to keep creating new material suitable for each exact
   situation we face. All of this new material should be inspired by the
   Holy Spirit dwelling within us, and it should be consistent with and
   based on the Bible, God's revealed written Word for all mankind.

                "Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which
                 is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto
                 a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth
                 out of his treasure things new and old." (Matthew
                 13:52 KJV)

   In this passage, "every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of
   heaven" means "all Christian writers," that is, "all writers who have
   personal knowledge of the Holy Spirit." "A householder, which bringeth
   forth out of his treasure things new and old" means "a homeowner who
   brings out, to use, old things and new things from his storehouse."
   The "old things" are the writings we already have, mainly the
   Scriptures. The "new things" are new writings, our own new writings.
   The "treasure" or "storehouse" is the unending abundance of the Holy
   Spirit, Who is the source of both the old writings and the new.
   
   Since both the old writings and the new are given by the same source,
   the Holy Spirit, they should be consistent with each other, not
   contradicting.
   
   This passage, Matthew 13:52, provides the Scriptural authority for all
   Christian writing, and directs that the new should be consistent with
   the old and together with the old.
   
   These writings are some of the "pleasant fruits" mentioned in Song Of
   Solomon 7:13.

         " . . . and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits,
          new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved."
          (Song of Solomon 7:13 KJV)
