Why were 7 New Testament books questioned?

From approximately 100-350 AD there was division over seven books in our New Testament. No one questioned the apostolicity of the four Gospels, the book of Acts, the thirteen letters of Paul, 1 Peter, and 1 John. After all, these were written by apostles, or with “apostolic approval.” For instance, Mark is considered to be [&hellip

How did we get the New Testament?

Since Jesus and the Early Church already had the Old Testament Scriptures, how did the Bible grow to have the New Testament? If you recall, Jesus had twelve Apostles that He taught very deliberately and intensively; they were given the charge in Matthew 28:19-20 to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in [&hellip

Jesus and the Old Testament

As we saw previously, historical documents support the fact that the Old Testament was already in existence and canonized as the Word of God. However, some people still won’t accept those books as inspired Scripture.  Maybe they don’t like the content of some of the chapters. Or maybe they don’t like the concept of a [&hellip

Does the Bible have errors? (Part 1)

In the past two blogs we’ve established that the Bible is an extremely reliable document, without parallel in ancient literature, passing all bibliographical tests. But some will still say that the Bible should be disregarded since it is full of contradictions. To answer that charge, Christians need to know that the Bible is without contradiction [&hellip

Has the New Testament been reliably copied?

What about the reliability of the New Testament?  The degree of accuracy of the New Testament exceeds 99%, which is greater than that of any other book from the ancient world.  And what is astounding is the strength of the argument when comparing it to other ancient writings. When measured against such works as Homer’s [&hellip

Has the Old Testament been reliably copied?

While God did inspire the original writers on what to write in the Bible, we do not have any of their original manuscripts in our possession today because the material that they wrote upon did not last. Some of these materials were: papyrus, which is split reeds laid at right angles and pressed into a [&hellip

Is the Bible the inspired Word of God?

“About one-third of the American adult population believes the Bible is the actual word of God and is to be taken literally word for word.” That was the opening line from an Internet article from the Gallup polling organization in 2007. It’s arguably the world’s most important book, since not our only religion, but also [&hellip
