2 | can we be sure the Bible is valid? | 2 Tim 3:16 | joehelt | 148903 | ||
Thank you all for the welcome and the answers. They are all valid and solve a question. I think, however, that I did not make my question very clear. My question revolves around this: When Paul wrote to Timothy to say that "all scripture is God-breathed..." he couldn't have been referring to his own letters, the Gospels and all of the other letters and books in the New Testament. How then can we attribute the NT Canon to be valid as scripture and "profitable for teaching, for reproof..." I have done a little research into the Council of Nicea and have read a couple of books on the subjects of 'lost christianities and scriptures' I am also currently taking a class on heresies in the early church. I can see why many of these documents are not and were not used as Scripture, but I cannot figure out how/why a new canon was created. The weird thing is that during my heresy class, the majority of the text I use to prove documents heretical in class discussion comes from the NT. I am just looking for some evidence to show me why I can use NT text to verify my belief in Christ. -joe |

3 | can we be sure the Bible is valid? | 2 Tim 3:16 | joehelt | 148835 | ||
Hello all, I was wondering how and why the church at large has decided to use this scripture to apply to the whole of the Bible. And a larger question then arises, how can we be sure that the Bible we hold today is truly God's inspired word. I'm asking as a Christian man struggling with the validity of the book I have come to hold so dear. Thanks so much, -joe |
