1 | The church as the pillar of Truth? | 1 Tim 3:15 | srbaegon | 136987 | ||
Hello Al, It's rather brash to say that one man chose the 27 books of the New Testament. Whoever stated that needs to go back and do some homework. Steve |

2 | The church as the pillar of Truth? | 1 Tim 3:15 | junmeskie | 136998 | ||
Hi Steve Out of over 300 scrolls 27 of these scrolls were selected, copied, transferred, hand scripted (by Catholic monks they are not Buddhist... I think) together we now call book then the Chapters and Verses were added finally this book (Biblia - Bible) was canonnized known as God's breath or inspired words of God. The Catholic Church never claimed writting the Bible they selected and compiled the 27 books for the New Testament only. The Church has the authority to chose what is the inspired words of God. Does your denomination "Canonnized" holy person or things? Anyone who studied church history will not dispute this just go to secular public library and read Where We Got The Bible? "THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH” Hosts: Kris Franklin (Evangelical) and Rosalind Moss (Jewish - Fundamental) converts share their conversion to the Faith. With great warmth, they discuss their previous misconceptions, explaining and defending Church teachings most frequently misunderstood by Protestants. SCRIPTURE AND TRADITION http://www.geocities.com/almescallado/household_of_faith.html Peace Al |

Hello Al, The church did not choose God's word. God chose God's word. The church formally recognized it for what it was in an effort to quell heretics. We don't canonize anything because it's already done. Steve |

Steve wrote: We don't canonize anything because it's already done. Al question by who? So you mean that at the time of the apostles the Bible already existed? Is it not that at the time of Jesus and the apostles all they have is the Old Testament (in scrolls or Torah) and that the New Testament are not even finish being written or recorded? Until almost 400 years later after Jesus crucifixion. In the years 392-397 AD in the Town named Hippo, South Africa, The Catholic Bishops headed by Saint Augustine...selected the 27 out of over 300 Books for the New Testament and was cannonized by the Pope. Ever noticed those early paintings showing Catholic monks hand scripting scrolls to a big book (Biblia)? I'm sure you will still see these paintings in some museums or encyclopedia. Fr. Martin Luther O.S.A. (Augustinian Monk) Excommunicated By Pope Leo took 7 books out, in fact he wanted to take more books out like the books of James and The Revelation. This is the reason that the Protestant bible is less books than the Catholic bible. God Bless Al |

Hello Al, "Al question by who?" By God. (2 Tim 3:16) "So you mean that at the time of the apostles the Bible already existed?" I mean that by the end of the apostles the Bible already existed. It just wasn't bound into one complete work yet. Steve |

Indeed Steve and there were over 300 un bound, un selected, un complied and un canonical. It's also correct to say that if there are over 300 of these documents, who made the 27 books selections of the NT and bound them together calling them Biblia (the Bible)? God Bless Al |

Hello Al, 1. God 2. As soon as it was written. 3. Immaterial 4. Immaterial 5. Immaterial 6. No idea 7. One section of the Bible was already canonized, but to answer the question: They reasoned from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ. 8. Immaterial. Written communication was available. You know that. 9. Upholds it. 10. Holy Spirit 11. To or for our gain. 12. It doesn't have to. Sufficiency can be built on other Scriptures. 13. Yes and No. It was God's word, but the council that came together to settle the matter once for all wasn't for some time yet. 14. Old Testament and his own writing. (See 2 Peter 3:16 where Peter states that Paul's writing was Scripture.) 15. That we should follow the tradition Paul laid down. 16. Never, but then we have it written down for us, so we know it's correct. 17. Listen to those in authority. 18. Do as they teach, but not do what they do. 19. Know how to behave in the household of God. 20. Heb 11:6 (ESV) And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Steve |
