Catholic Doctrine Bible Study

Session 2 - How We Got The Bible

Listen Later

Key Points:

  • The bible is NOT a science book or history book.  It is a LIBRARY, calling us to an eternal RELATIONSHIP with God.
  • The bible is not DICTATED by God.  God INSPIRED the human authors, but they used their own words, styles, emphasis.
  • The bible is ALL TRUE, for the sake of our salvation. Not necessarily always LITERALLY true.  (See 1st Session of Old Testament for more detail on “Truth in the bible.)  
  • The books of the bible were chosen among many others and ratified by the CATHOLIC church, guided by the Holy Spirit,  in the late 300’s. 
  • ALL Christians agree on the Catholic choice of the 27 New Testament books. Martin Luther error on choice of books- no “keys”-1200 years late.
