Canon of Scripture
How can we trust that we have the right books in our Bibles? What is the standard used to determine which books should be considered authoritative in our lives?
What is the biblical canon and how was it formed? This video explores the concept of the canon of Scripture, explaining what it means to be an authoritative book in the Bible. We delve into the criteria used for acceptance, including prophetic authorship, confirmation through miracles and fulfilled prophecies, consistency with other inspired texts, and acceptance by the original recipients. We examine key passages from Deuteronomy and discuss the significance of Jesus’ affirmation of the Old Testament canon. We also explore questions about the authorship of books like Joshua, Psalms, Luke, and Hebrews. Finally, we clarify the role of the 4th-century councils in formally recognizing the canon, emphasizing that this wasn’t a new decision but a confirmation of existing acceptance. Learn how the canon helps us understand and interpret the Word of God! #BibleStudy #BiblicalCanon #AuthorityOfScripture #InspirationOfScripture #OldTestament #NewTestament #ChristianTheology #FaithAndReason #Deuteronomy #Jesus #Prophecy #Miracles #BiblicalInterpretation
