Because the LORD says to test everything, we are not led by *Blind Faith* the Bible in itself is *prophetic*. Why do you think so many people today believe we are the *Last Generation* to witness prophetic events? it is because of what’s in the Holy Bible....

I agree with you.

My argument with Roamer_1 and the other people on this thread is where the Biblical canon ends. I simply say it ended before the "new testament" was written and added to it. And it had to be added. It wasn't there originally. How would they feel if someone wanted to add more books to it today?

Hebrews 9:16,17 says "For where a testament is,there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth."

I take that to mean that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, up TO THE POINT of Jesus Christ's death, were part of the Old Testament. IOW the New Testament actually BEGINS with the death of Christ.

I BELIEVE

that G_D ALMIGHTY

added Psalms, Daniel et al to the Pentatuch.

And that G_D ALMIGHTY added the New Testament.

G_D ALMIGHTY can do whatever HE wants.

It happens to be HIS multiverse AND HIS EVERLASTING WORD.

I don’t believe HE WILL add to the OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT. I believe HIS PURPOSE for such a ‘vetted’ collection of Scriptures is about to be wound up—at least in this era, this multiverse.

HOWEVER, HE COULD, SHOULD HE SO CHOOSE.

AND, HE MIGHT do it through a human process of vetting, though I seriously doubt it. With Christ ruling and reigning in the Millenium, all kinds of things could occur that we have no conception of nor even fantasies about.

People often say to Pentecostals . . .

WELLLLLLLLL, IF GOD IS SPEAKING THROUGH YOU—IT’S GOD’S WORDS, YOU BELIEVE. SO YOU’RE ADDING TO SCRIPTURE!

NO. Christ taught, said tons of things not in Scripture. Moses said many things not in Scripture. Many things from God are NOT ENSCRIPTURATED, BY HIS DESIGN.

A thousand or 1500 years or 3,000 years post Armageddon . . . God only knows.

What was the difference between the Pharisees, Sadducees, and the Essenes?

Wasn't it that some accepted less or more of the canon/tradition? How are the Nazarenes any different?
