What does it mean to say that God is the author of Scripture? Did He dictate every word? Can new books ever be added to Scripture? Ready to test how well you know the Bible?In this bonus throwback episode, Pastor Jeff and Jen Denton put their knowledge to the test with a 12-question true-or-false quiz on the doctrine of Scripture. Listen along, keep track of your score and let's see how many you can get right! Chapters:04:00 Is God the Author of the Bible? TRUEAll Scripture is God-breathed, so it is appropriate to describe God as the author of Scripture. The Bible communicates God's words to His people.05:00 The Books Do Not Have Human Authors. FALSEAlthough God is the ultimate author of Scripture, human beings truly wrote the biblical books. The Holy Spirit governed their writing while still working through their personalities, vocabulary, and individual styles.09:00 Did God Dictate Every Word of Scripture? FALSEBiblical inspiration did not mean the writers simply took dictation or wrote in a trance. 10:00 Was the Inspiration of Scripture the Particular Work of God the Father? FALSEThe transcript identifies inspiration as a particular work of the Holy Spirit, pointing to 2 Peter 1:21 and describing the biblical authors as being carried along by the Spirit.12:00 Do Jesus' Words Have More Authority Than the Rest of Scripture? FALSEBecause all Scripture is God-breathed, all of Scripture carries divine authority. The red-letter words of Jesus are not more authoritative than the rest of God's written Word.13:00 Is the Complete List of Biblical Books Called the Covenant? FALSEThe correct term is canon. The biblical canon refers to the books recognized as God-inspired and authoritative for Christian faith and practice.19:00 Are There 64 Books in the Biblical Canon? FALSEThe Protestant Bible contains 66 books, with 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament.20:00 Is Everything God Requires of Christians Found in Scripture? TRUEEverything necessary for Christian faith and life is contained in Scripture either explicitly or by necessary implication.21:00 Is Every Passage of Scripture Easy to Understand Perfectly? FALSENot every biblical passage is equally easy to understand. Even Peter acknowledged that some of Paul's writings contained things that were difficult to understand.23:00 Is Scripture the Only Way God Reveals Truth About Himself? FALSEGod also reveals truth about Himself through creation. Romans 1 and Psalm 19 are used to explain how the created world testifies to God's existence, nature, and glory.24:00 Will One Passage of Scripture Never Actually Contradict Another?  TRUEScripture is internally consistent because it comes from an unchanging God who cannot lie. 30:00 Could God Add New Books to the Bible? FALSEThe Bible is God's full and final revelation for this period of redemptive history, so Christians should not expect additional books to be added to Scripture.

Did church leaders decide which books belong in the Bible, or did they simply recognize what God had already inspired?Tiffany and Pastor Jeff explore how the 66 books of the Bible became recognized as Scripture. They explain what the biblical canon is, the principles the early church used to identify inspired writings, and why church councils didn't create the Bible. They address common claims that powerful men edited Scripture or that its authors were seeking fame, revealing why Christians can confidently trust the Bible as God's faithfully preserved Word.Chapters:01:18 Who Decided Which Books Belong in the Bible?Claims that church leaders changed the Bible or selected only the books they preferred raise an important question: How did Christians end up with these 66 books, and who determined that they belonged in Scripture?03:24 Did the Church Invent the Bible?God chose the authors and inspired their writings through the Holy Spirit. The church did not make these books Scripture but recognized the authority they already possessed.04:43 What Is the Biblical Canon?The word “canon” means a measuring rod or standard. The biblical canon is the collection of writings recognized as the inspired Word of God, not a list of books selected according to the personal preferences of church leaders.05:35 How Did the Church Recognize Scripture?Like experts authenticating a work of art, the early church examined evidence and recognized authenticity that already existed. 07:38 How Were the Old and New Testaments Recognized?The Jewish people had already preserved and recognized the Old Testament by the time of Jesus, who repeatedly affirmed its authority. The apostles' writings were later read publicly, carefully copied, and circulated among early churches.08:53 What Happened at the Council of Carthage?By the Council of Carthage in AD 397, the 27 books of the New Testament had already been widely recognized. The council formally confirmed the writings Christians had been reading, teaching, copying, and obeying for generations.11:52 How Did God Preserve His Word?God worked through ordinary and imperfect people to preserve Scripture under His providential care. The church identified and protected what God had already inspired rather than creating something new.13:13 Were the Biblical Authors Seeking Fame?The Bible honestly records the anger, doubt, failure, and sin of its human figures. Rather than presenting its authors and heroes as flawless, Scripture points to humanity's need for grace and presents Jesus as its only perfect hero.15:09 Why Can Christians Trust the Bible Today?Trust the faithful God who inspired His Word and preserved it for every generation. We don't ultimately place their confidence in councils, scholars, translators, or publishers.“ God didn't wait for a committee to decide His Word. He chose His Word before it was ever even written.”  – Pastor Jeff Cranston

After facing cancer and surviving a massive “widow maker” heart attack, he began reading the Bible seriously for the first time. As someone trained as a lawyer, Matthew approached Scripture through investigation, evidence, and comparison—reading across multiple Bible translations and Christian traditions.The conversation explores Matthew's path from skepticism to faith, including how books like The Case for Christ and Evidence That Demands a Verdict helped him examine whether Christianity is true. Matthew explains why he believes Christians must be grounded not only in the goodness of Christianity, but in the truth of Christianity.TS and Matthew also discuss Matthew's book, Canon Crossfire, which addresses questions surrounding the Old Testament canon, the differences between Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Ethiopian, and other biblical traditions, and why simplistic answers about the canon can create problems when examined historically.A major theme of the episode is the importance of honest investigation. Matthew encourages believers, students, pastors, and scholars to look carefully at the evidence, especially when discussing disputed books such as 2 Maccabees and the broader historical development of the Bible.In This EpisodeTS and Matthew discuss:Matthew's personal testimony and health crisisHow reading the Bible changed his lifeWhy Christianity's truth claims matterThe role of apologetics in strengthening faithThe historical complexity of the biblical canonDifferences among Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Ethiopian, and Syriac canonsAthanasius and the early recognition of the New Testament writingsWhy Christians should avoid shallow answers when defending ScriptureMatthew's book Canon CrossfireWhere listeners can find Matthew's workGuest ResourceLearn more about Matthew Mark McWhorter and his book at:CanonCrossfire.comMatthew also mentions that his book is available in multiple formats, including print, ebook, audiobook, large print, and free copies for seminarians.Mentioned in this episode:TUVU - God Centered Concept Academy

Jim Osman addresses pressing questions in a Q&A covering evangelical concerns and biblical faithfulness. Topics include The Gospel Coalition's theological drift, the modern deliverance ministry movement undermining Scripture's sufficiency, and the Seven Mountain Mandate infiltrating evangelicalism. Osman examines distinctions between essential and non-essential doctrines, female pastoral roles, biblical canon formation, and King James Only errors. He emphasizes that sufficiency of Scripture remains the central battle within evangelicalism today, as experiential theology displaces confidence in God's Word.Questions AskedWhat is the current state of The Gospel Coalition?What do you think about Al Mohler, Mark Dever, and Ligon Duncan's return to Shepherd's Conference?What issues within evangelicalism today should we be on guard against, especially for our children?How do you have a conversation with an unbeliever about God's sovereignty and evangelism?How important is a church prayer chain?What is the Seven Mountain Mandate and its connection to Turning Point USA?Are you a Christian nationalist?What resources would you recommend about how we got our Bible and why certain books were included in the canon?What is your position on female pastors in the church?How do you argue with people who are King James Version (KJV) only?Are there different shades of false teachers, and what about believers who fall into sexual sin like Steve Lawson?What camp would Solomon fall into - believer or unbeliever?What's the difference between Paul's response to the Judaizers in Galatians versus those who preached the gospel with false motives in Philippians? ★ Support this podcast ★

Values, 3 of 7 from September 3rd, 2023 “WE TRUST THE BIBLE. We depend on Scripture as our primary guide for life because God leads us most directly through His Word.” By Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks) QUESTIONS

Opening prayer (from the Prayer before the Gospel during the Diving Liturgy) Make the pure light of Thy divine knowledge shine in our hearts, Loving Master, and open the eyes of our minds that we may understand the message of Thy Gospel. Instill also in us reverence for Thy blessed commandments, so that overcoming all worldly desires, we may pursue a spiritual life, both thinking and doing all things pleasing to Thee. For Thee, Christ our God, are the Light of our souls and bodies, and to Thee we give the glory, together with Thy Father, without beginning, and Thine All Holy, Good, and Life- Creating Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.  (2 Corinthians 6:6; Ephesians 1:18; 2 Peter 2:11) An Important Prologue (from Fr. Stephen's The Whole Counsel) ·      Inspiration.  2 Peter 1:19-21.  And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, than no prophecy of Scripture is of any private origin, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men, being carried by the Holy Spirit, spoke from God (OSB & FSDY).   Note that these “men” did this at different times, using different styles, and the writing was not done all at once.  For example, the Torah is of Mosaic origin, but its language and style are from later times (and I don't have in mind E, Y, D, P).  Inspiration includes speaking, writing, editing, copying, translating, and compiling scripture.  ·      Inerrancy.  A bit on the term.  18th century gave rise to a “scientific” way of looking at scripture.  This doesn't just mean taking out the supernatural elements, but breaking texts apart and said to be of different and conflicting sources.  Conservative American Protestants reacted by publishing “The Fundamentals.”  They argued that the Scriptures were inerrant (without error).  The Liberal Protestants were opposed to this view, saying that they were affected by the limitations of the people and cultures of the times in which they were written.  This difference about inerrancy could have been bridged through nuance, but then they moved further apart, with the “fundamentalists” equating literal/materialist with inerrant and the liberal side becoming more interested in a reconstructed social gospel.  Orthodoxy teaches that the Scriptures do not contain errors, but it has a strong tolerance for ambiguities.  “In large part, this is because the Church has never approached the world on the basis of the Scriptures; rather the Scriptures function internally, with the Church and her worship.”  Orthodoxy is not concerned with identifying and reconciling “errors” in scripture, but in what it (with all its richness) calls us to be. ·      Sola Scriptura.  The Reformation put Scripture as the key to evaluating tradition and the teaching authority of the Church; the Roman Catholics make the teaching authority of the Church key (magisterium).  Orthodoxy sidesteps this approach because it recognizes that Christ Himself is the Truth.  We are not turning to scripture, tradition, and the Church to learn about Christ; we are coming to know God experientially, being united with and in Christ Himself.  John 15:26-27 (following the logic of 2 Peter above), has the Holy Spirit (continuously revealing “Tradition”) and the witness of those who saw/knew God (ie Scriptures); “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.”  We do not recognize competing sources of authority (Church, Tradition, Scripture), but see it all as the way we come to know Christ through the working of the Holy Spirit  The Source(s) of the Bible Following Christ, the Apostles, and the Early Church, the Orthodox Church primarily uses the Septuagint.  The Torah section was an official translation completed well before the Incarnation of Christ.  This makes it more “objective” than the post-Incarnational Jewish Masoretic Text and Canon (most Roman Catholic and Protestant Bibles rely primarily on the Masoretic text).  The Masoretic text was prepared after the loss of the Temple and the rise of Christianity (with the addition of vowels etc.). The Septuagint differs little from the Masoretic Text; both are supported by the Dead Sea Scrolls.  The Dead Sea Scrolls help demonstrate that there was textual diversity before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. There is NO SINGLE CANON OF ORTHODOX SCRIPTURE.  We have the books we use liturgically and the books we read.  All of them are useful. How the Bible is OrganizedNew Testament (we'll cover it later) and Old Testament. Old Testament Organization (Septuagint organization)  The Torah.  According to tradition, it was revealed to Moses on Mt. Sinai (most connect it with Moses (e.g. Exodus 33:11 & Galatians 3:19), but admit to it being touched by many hands).  The five books of the Torah are also called the Five Books of the Law, the Pentateuch and the Books of Moses. Genesis (beginning).  God's creation of the world, the fall of mankind, and the three patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) Exodus (departure).  The early life of Moses, the Israelite escape from Egypt, and revelations at Mount Sinai. Leviticus (of the Levites).  Historically, takes place at the foot of Sinai and continues to describe how God is to be honored and how Israelites are to live. Numbers (you'll see!).  Describes the Israelites' time in the desert up to their arrival at the banks of the Jordan. Deuteronomy (second law).  Moses' last words to the Israelites.  His death. The Books of History.  The history of Israel from their arrival at the promised land to just before the Incarnation.  They are thought to have been written well after the events they describe.  The Books of History are Joshua (the conquering of the promised land), Judges (The Israelites struggle with righteousness and idolatry), Ruth, I Kingdoms (aka I Samuel), II Kingdoms (II Samuel), III Kingdoms (I Kings), IV Kingdoms (II Kings), I Paraleipomenon (I Chronicles), II Paraleipomenon (II Chronicles), Nehemiah, I Esdras, II Esdras (Ezra), Tobit, Judith, Esther, I Maccabees, II Maccabees, III Maccabees. Books of Wisdom.   Psalms, Prayer of Manasseh, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon (aka Song of Songs or Canticle of Canticles), Wisdom of Solomon, Wisdom of Sirach (aka Wisdom of Jesus, Son of Sirach; aka Ecclesiasticus)   The Prophets.   Minor prophets:  Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zecharia, Malachi Major prophets:  Isaiah, Jeremiah (includes Baruch and the Epistle of Jeremiah), Ezekiel, Daniel (includes the Song of the Three Children). Why did some early Christians want to ban the Old Testament from the Biblical Canon?  Why do we care about the Old Testament?  It is “The Scriptures” referred to in the New Testament.  It is about God, Christ, and God's plan for the world.
