How do we know that we have all the books we are supposed to have in our Bibles? Like the Apocrypha for example, why is this not included in our Bibles? Is this the Word of God as well?---confused??? | ||||||

Hi, confused... Welcome to the forum! The following might be useful. http://www.bible-researcher.com/canon.html Remember, we would be naive to expect that all simple questions have simple answers. There are always answers, but sometimes they take a bit of education from which an answer can be intelligibly given. In Him, Doc |

OK, so I checked out that website. This doesn't really clarify it much though. I mean, from what I saw here many of the early church fathers couldn't agree on which books should be included and which ones shouldn't. Take Hebrews for example. That one was a controversial one and yet we ascribe alot of our doctrine from this book. I guess this is the confusing part...we quote Paul ans say that "all Scripture is inspired (God-breathed)" and yet we can't even be sure which is Scripture and which is not. Am I understanding this properly or am I just missing something?---confused??? | ||||||

Hi, Confused... We have a fallible canon of infallible Scripture. Interestingly enough, our Lord saw fit to draw the discussion to a satisfactory conclusion. A conclusion for which we have consensus. Remember what I said about the naivete of expecting simple answers to simple questions? There are always answers, but sometimes they take a bit of education -- which requires a bit more intellectual sweat than "checking out a website." But that education will be necessary for you to begin to understand the answers. Unfortunately, the path from being confused to being confident isn't one that we can provide a quick and easy ride. In Him, Doc |

I understand that it may not be a simple answer. But the website is the only direction you (or anyone else) has provided so far. Any other direction would be appreciated. Maybe a book or two or what I was really looking for was to glean from the knowledge of others on the forum. You said alot though in that first sentence. If I understand correctly then we base our theology and our way of life off verses and lessons that may not be "from God". I just always thought that if it was in the Bible then it was the Word of God and if it wasn't in there then it wasn't God's Word. But that may not be the case after all, is that correct? Also, how did our Lord draw the discussion to a satisfactory conclusion? That may help answer my question there. Thank you for your help.---confused??? | ||||||

Shalom Confused, All the Bible is the inspired word of God, the first five books especially, check them out, and also the prophets. The New Testament, especially from Romans on, is mostly the Hebrew scriptures (OT) restated. That's pretty good evidence that our New Testament is OK'ed by God. Cheri |

Oh, Cheri... "first five books especially" Please tell me you don't think that the rest of Scripture is LESS inspired? | ||||||

Hiya Doc, No, not less, not at all. I just particularily, personally like the words in Torah and the Prophets and the Gospels, "thus saith the Lord", "and the Lord said to..." and "Jesus said...", etc. That is just my Personal likes (?). Those passages never fail to give me goosebumps. All of the Bible is God's Inspired Word, and equally inspired from Genesis to Revelation. I just have my personal preferences. Sorry if I mislead you. Cheri |

Dear Cheri, Take particular care, then, how you say things. Many will come and go on the forum -- often without posting -- and we must be very careful that we render doctrinally precise answers so that they won't be mislead. As a forum based on sola Scriptura, we need to render up answers perfectly in accord with that Bible teaching. Thank you for your correction. In Him, Doc |

Doc, Sorry so long getting back to you, just came in from prayer service. You're right. I sometimes forget others, besides us "regulars" read our postings. I'll try to be more careful :o). Cheri |
