This is a ministry of striving for eternity. What is the

Bible? When we ask this question, many people get into challenges because they want to say that the

Bible that we have today was formulated by the Catholic Church in the 300s.

Well, that's a real problem. Why? Well, for one reason, a really good reason is

Peter recognized the writings of Paul as scripture.

So he knew when Paul wrote what he wrote, that was actual scripture.

We see that in 2 Peter 3 .16, when he calls Paul's writings scripture.

So he recognized that, but we end up seeing that early in the first and second centuries, they had a recording of the books of both

Old and New Testament. Now Old Testament, we have in the Council of the Rabbis in Jamnia, where they met in 70

AD and they decided those books that were always accepted, and by the way, that did not include those apocryphal books that the

Catholic Church accepts. And by the way, they did not accept those books until the

Reformation time. That was a reaction to the Reformation. But you saw that there was things that people saw as scripture because they were prophetic authorship, they had witness of the

Spirit, and they were accepted by the church. That is what's called the canon or measurement.

That is what is the Bible. This podcast is part of the Striving for Eternity ministry. For more content or to request a speaker or seminar to your church, go to strivingforeternity .org.
