To: Romulus; Theo

let’s test romulus’s theory:

theo, how do you determine which books are Scripture and which are not? is there any human authority or institution that can definitively state the correct canon or are we left to guess or decide on our own?

The NT canon became clear within the first 100 to 200 years A.D. The fellowship of believers, the Church, put their stamp of approval on it some time later. Of course, I don’t accept the Apocropha as biblical, a stance consistent with early believers.

The OT canon was established by the time Jesus walked the earth.

I love Scripture, and am grateful to the believers who wrote it and recognized it as authoritative.
