Weekly Blog

n these blog posts, we have been looking at how the Bible came about. We have seen this initially happened through the process known as inspiration.

We are have been looking at the idea of the ‘canon of Scripture.‘  This week I am giving the text of a short article by Michael Kruger, who is President of Reformed Theological Seminary at Charlotte. (I graduated from Reformed Theological Seminary’s Washington DC Campus). Dr. Kruger gives a good, brief answer to the false claim that the early church had other books in their canon which were suppressed by a few leaders later on. There is also a link to a video at the end which gives a bit more information.

This week I am giving a copy of an article written by two seminary professors. It covers many of the points we have looked at before, and corrects a number of distortions that can arise by overstating the process involved in how we got our Bible. I hope this is helpful.

Last week I discussed the Paschal Letter of Athanasius in 367AD. Here is that letter in full. I hope it encourages you in your walk!

In recent posts, we looked at how the heretics Marcion and Valentinus (and other Gnostics) tried to radically alter the Christian faith and to change the New Testament books that were generally accepted by the Church, or to add additional books. These pressures caused the Church to begin to clarify exactly which books belonged in the New Testament Canon.

In the last post, we looked at how the heretic Marcion truncated the canon of Scripture by rejecting the Old Testament, highly editing the Gospel of Luke, editing 10 of Paul’s letters, and rejecting the rest of the New Testament. This week we will take a brief look at Valentinus and the Gnostics.

This week we will be taking a break from the blog. We will be returning to our normal blog next week as per usual. However, while you are waiting for […]
