If the cannon of the NT were defined today

Well not historical, but I would add the letters of Clement of Rome. I would remove the book of Revelation and Song of Solomon and Esther and Daniel, they are historically inaccurate and/or useless for any good purpose.

No, it isn't.

God finished writing the canon of Scripture in the first century. Prophecy does not equal "scripture", as Scripture itself testifies. Saul prophesied; where is his "book"? Philip's daughters prophesied; where is their "book"?

God still speaks to His people, but those messages are not to be considered "additions to Scripture" and must be either consistent with Scripture or simply personal messages that don't contradict Scripture.

How do we know that God finished the canon of scripture? What is that theory based on?

That's a great question, to which I don't have the answer offhand. It's one I need to consider.

You need to explain all this to Jude, and the people who lived during the tine of Christ who didn't know you would come along to tell them what they thought was scripture actually wasn't.

Im not sure anything needs be added , but early Christian writings are often helpful and edifying so Long as they don’t part from the faith taught by Christ and the epistles we have

often it’s a matter of people determining if something is “ official “ which is why some books weren’t included some of the tests were withered and incomplete others were determined to be not “ official “ by the early Roman Catholic Church.

I would siggest reading the apocalypse of Paul 3 Corinthians’s , and peters apocalypse in study but not that they should be included in scripture the Bible contains for various reasons

mostly because we have grown up in those scriptures in the Bible and have a hearts trust in them as well as potential controversy among believers who think other letters such as Paul’s apocalypse aren’t genuine

I find that the content of many early writings non canon writings I mean can tell us whether they are genuine because they never part from scripture but only serve to further support the truth of scriptures message

Paul’s apocalypse is something that really makes sense given his other writings like this

“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:19-22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

then there’s this beautiful writing of the earth and heavens crying out as witnesses of mans sin and mans redemption on the apocalypse but it’s value should be weighed unevenly against scriptire as a matter of faith

I say add none...take away none...we don't even know what to do with the ones we got😂😂😂

Each day I find hidden meaning in scripture I've read for 30 yrs. I've concluded that the bible its self is about a eternal God infinite in his ways. Therefore his word is the same eternal and infinite.

Did I use the wrong word or mistype it?

You used two n’s where only one is appropriate. ‘Cannon’ is a different word from ’canon’.

the reason why the book of Enoch did not make the cut is that Jude who is an eyewitness of the Lord and Genesis that Moses wrote came directly from the Holy Spirit God himself.

From Genesis to Revelation there is a thin RED thread that is Christ. HE is the standard but which ALL Scriptures MUST be built on and have.

stopped at post 29

Huh? God did not dictate the books of the bible. That is what satan does. The Koran, New Ager writings, automatic writing and Book of Mormon are good examples of how satan works.

God did not Dictate the books of the Bible He Authored them. God used man to write HIS word.

friend my understanding is humans were the authors. God inspired those men.

No that is not correct 2Peter 1:20-21

20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.


IF man authored the word of God then it is of the flesh not of the Spirit Prophecy is not of men but of God or it is not Prophecy.

Not one of the verses you are using says They authored the word of God

Jesus Himself said in John 12:39

“For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
