To finish out my little series on the doctrine of the Bible, we’re talking about the trustworthiness of scripture. The reality is that we can have confidence that it comes from God, and it’s His inspired, inerrant, infallible word for us. Instead of doing a multi-part, shorter post, I’m giving the entire thing. My first long-form essay on here. Let me know what you think - do you prefer shorter emails or long ones like this?
you do realize at the time of Jesus the apocryphal books were considered apart of the OT canon at least according to the septuagint. so why do you reject them? because they support catholic dogma and refute protestant teaching? because martin luther said so, or st jerome had doubts about whether they belonged in scripture? scripture doesnt tell us, so all of your argumentation falls flat. only the church can say. and this is exactly what hte bible itself says and shows. 1 tim 3:15 the church is the pillar and ground of truth. not the bible.
