Bible Question:
The writher of the 2nd last book of the bible is in my opinion contrary to the teachings of Paul. He is taking the place of a Judge isnt he? In 1Kor 4:5 I feel that Paul (The only writher who claims to be called to preach the Gospell to the heathens) is saying that we should not do exactly what this writer is doing. And wasnt the New testament "born" 300 after christ and put together by some Roman guys? When paul says that every scripture is inspired by god, he is talking about the Jewish prophets, right? From now on, all im reading is the Old Testament plus what Paul wrote. Now i feel like a judge but Paul is the only one who claims to be called in his letters. Not by men but by God.. or something like that. (i dont read the King James or an English bible) Also do NOT be many teachers amongst you! |
Bible Answer: Hello KumKum, I'm assuming you're talking about the Book of Jude. It has been accepted as canonical- so I'd highly recommend some study and caution before you take such a leap! You might want to use the "search" function on the term "canon" as discussed on the SBF. Also, Bible.org also has some excellent resources under the Topic, "Canon". An opinion is one thing. What "evidence" do you have that Jude is contrary to the writings of Paul? One of the rules of interpretation is that scripture cannot contradict itself. In spite of it's limited subject matter and size, Jude was accepted as authentic and quoted by early church fathers. Doubts arose concerning the place of Jude in the canon because of it's use of the Apocrypha. It was a disputed book in some parts of the church, but it eventually won universal recognition. You would be seriously remiss and unbalanced by adopting a selected reading of scripture, my friend. Since all of scripture is inspired by God, what Paul refers to includes all 66 Books of the Bible.
