Grounded with Steve Hartland

Do We Have the Right Books in the Bible? - Grounded Ep. 11

Listen Later

Pastor Steve takes us through the important question: Do we have the right Bible? This is the matter of Canonicity of the Bible. Our prayer is that Grounded would bolster your Christian learning and put some concrete in your soul!

  • Begin Show Notes -

    • 1) How do we know we’ve got the right books in the Bible?

    2) The Old Testament Canon.

    3) No contention until the time of the ref. (Martin Luther)

    4) The NT Canon. (2 Pet 3:16, 1 Tim 5:18, Luke 10:7, Polycarp, Clement)

    5) Heretics (Marcian)

    6) Church conferences (Augustine, Jerome)

    • Synod of Hippo

    • Synod of Carthage

      • 7) Three other books were given serious consideration. (Didache, Shepherd of Hermes, 1st letter of Clement of Rome)

      8) Several Books in the Bible we have that were up for discussion. (2 Pet, Jude, Epistles of Jn, Rev, and Hebrews)

      9) Three Tests for each book:

      • Apostolic? (What about Luke (Paul), Mark (Peter), James and Jude?)

        • Orthodox? (Does it teach the same things as the books already established as scripture? Same as what we know to be true?)
        • Was the book in question widely received by the early church?

          • 10) Trust in God’s providence. (Trust that He was successful in giving us His word)

          11) Conclusion. (Be strong in faith, trust the 66 books = God’s holy word. Inspired, inerrant, auth, sufficient. Frame - page 138)
