Actually Dessa this conversation is finished since you already admitted in principle that there is no basis for the 66 book protestant canon from scripture. So as far as the THREAD TOPIC IS CONCERNED - YOU HAVE NO BIBLICAL BASIS FOR ADOPTING A 66 BOOK CANON OF SCRIPTURE. Discussion is over unless you can point to a verse that says which book should be included in the bible and all of them total 66 books which was adopted by the protestants and evangelicals. And hence this contradicts the principle of Sola Scriptura which holds that only those doctrines which are supported by scripture should be held on to. Simple lang.
They never had a 'canon' until the council of Jamnia 90 AD according to scholars - which is already a generation after Christ established his church and this canon isn't in scripture. What does this mean? Authority regarding God's word was already passed to the CHRISTIAN CHURCH since the guarantee of the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT was given to the church - TO GUIDE IT INTO ALL TRUTH - NOT ONLY TO THE NEW TESTAMENT BUT ALL TRUTH: OLD AND NEW. So if you follow the Jewish canon you should also DISCARD the NEW TESTAMENT if you are saying that they were inspired in determining what is scripture and what is not. When there is conflict between the old and the new - the new always prevails. And when there is a conflict between the Jews and Christians - as Christians of course we are bound BY THE LAWS and TEACHINGS OF THE CHURCH and not by TEACHINGS BY JEWISH RABBIS. You should therefore now decide if you are a JEW OR A CHRISTIAN.
On the contrary, your assertion is what miserably fails. You undermine the canon of the christian church and obey those by the pharisees. YOU AREN'T A JEW. What is binding to the christian is not what PHARISEES TELL THEM. What is binding is the teachings of the Christian Church WHICH IS THE SAME CHURCH WHICH IS GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO ALL TRUTH - not some but all. Are you saying that THE JEWS/PHARISEES AUTHORITY extends to the christian church?
You cannot put NEW WINE INTO OLD WINE SKINS. That is what you people are doing.
The teachings are fundamentally the same. There is only a question of leadership and polity or church organization but that is not what matters. What matters is the teachings.
Your appeal to the 'spirit' doesn't really wash. After more than 500 years the protestants are more divided now than when they started into thousands of different and peculiar sects. And it is not only 'wonderful' to have one god one faith and one baptism - it is the model provided in scripture itself:
4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Eph 4
So if you say you are guided and follow the spirit then you should have ONE LORD, ONE FAITH AND ONE BAPTISM. But the fact is you aren't therefore - you aren't GUIDED AND 'MINGLED' WITH SPIRIT.
We aren't part of the DIVISION. Protestants separated themselves from the true church hence the term REFORMATION is a misnomer. They REFORMED nothing. They only succeeded in establishing their own peculiar churches with their own peculiar doctrines which I have proven to be CONTRARY to each others teaching.
I agree to a certain extent to what you are saying here. That there WAS ONE CHURCH and the protestants separated from it. But by virtue of their baptism they are still considered as part of this one christian church.
How can you say at one point that you have one faith but different doctrines? Can you have one faith while believing in different doctrines? And doctrines will not break according to Jesus Christ because the teachings of the Lord are eternal and will never pass away:
Psalm 119:89
ל Lamedh Your word, O LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
Psalm 119:160
All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.
Luke 21:33
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
There is no comparison between you protestants and us catholics. We are both catholics both Roman and Greek catholics sharing the same fundamental doctrines. What is different is the leadership.
On the otherhand you people don't have one fundamental doctrine - only those that you've borrowed from us catholics.
If we are liars by having division in leadership but not in fundamental doctrines, how much more can you people be considered as LIARS since you are admittedly divided into THOUSANDS OF SECTS with different doctrines? The sauce for the goose is also good for the gander lols :P
Tradition is something which is passed down. So the canon is tradition, the bible is tradition. They chose these writings thru the inspiration of the Holy spirit to the church.
There is no comparison between YOU and the EARLY CHRISTIAN CHURCH inspiration. The christian church has the guarantee of the guidance of the Holy Spirit given by Christ himself. How about you? Who guaranteed your inspiration?
Since OBVIOUSLY it was taken from TRADITION and not from scripture.
Since OBVIOUSLY AGAIN they have no SCRIPTURAL BASIS. If there is why not provide me the verse just to end this discussion? Where in SCRIPTURE DO YOU FIND THE BOOKS THAT MAKE UP THE 66 CANON OF SCRIPTURE WHICH YOU CLAIM IS THE PROTESTANT POSITION/ARGUMENT? Wala. That's why it is unnacceptable.
That is why this THREAD is not for you since you AREN'T ANSWERING THE QUESTION but AFFIRM my assertion that the 66 book canon used by the protestants arent in scripture.
You have another authority aside from scripture which is YOUR OWN discernment of the spirit. For most protestants they have SOLA SCRIPTURA MEANING: SCRIPTURE AS THE ONLY, FINAL AND SUPREME AUTHORITY. Obviously you don't belong to these category THAT'S WHY YOU AREN'T ANSWERING the question of this thread.
I'm not putting words into your mouth. Actually you're just making things up as you go along. You aren't even using references. Oh I forgot - it's what the spirit tells you. :P
Authority rests on those who were APPOINTED to lead and FEED the sheep. Not all are leaders. Each have their own gifts and have their own parts to play in the church of Christ. What you again say is contrary to what the SPIRIT SAYS IN SCRIPTURE:
1 Corinthians 12:28
And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues.
And how could you tell if you are ONE with the spirit? Because you said so?
He is real but I doubt if he's the one inspiring you.
You do despise tradition and even try to make it out as something contrary to scripture which isn't the case - they complement each other have only God as their source.
I don't see the relation of this quip with the topic.
It's obvious dessa that you just make things up as you go along and use the 'spirit' as your source. Don't you find it dangerous since you have ARROGATED for yourself the authority of the spirit of God? Are you saying you are like Moses? Elijah? The prophets which talk to the spirit of God? So are you telling me that what you say is MORE AUTHORITATIVE than the early christian church who lived closer to the apostles and the time of Christ? You cannot REINVENT the church and its doctrines. It was ESTABLISHED once by christ. There WAS AND IS A CHURCH. All you have to do is find it. Only the church has the guarantee of guidance of the Holy Spirit since it is the body of Christ. Individual christians don't have this guarantee - they must remain in the body of Christ to be member of the church.
Much of what Christ teaches is obedience. But what you call for is the exact opposite. At one point you say tradition is alright, at this point you say otherwise. I don't even think you know what you are talking about since you are ambivalent in everything you say. But then again you have carried this discussion over and above the topic.
A lot of verbiage Dessa but I'd like to remind you that the topic is not about what you are ranting about. The question is simple: Saang talata sa biblia nakasulat na ang salita ng Dios binubuo ng 66 na libro?
I don't see you answering this question after reading your paragraphs. I AM ASKING FOR THE VERSE which states that God's word is composed of 66 books. Where do we find that in scripture? So kung wala - eh di wala di ba? So why belabor the issue? If it's not in scripture then the 66 book canon used by the PROTESTANTS/EVANGELICALS has no scriptural basis and hence unscriptural. And based on their own teachings such should not be held on to by Christians and should be repudiated.
Napakasimple ng tanong - kung saan saan mo dinadala ang topic?
jeric baket di mo itanong yan sa pastor mo?mahilig ka magtanong kung saan nakasulat sa bibliya diba? o ngayon, saan makikita sa bibliya na 66 na libro dapat ang bumubuo nito?
^ Di nga alam ni Jeric yun na yung bibliang gamit niya di naman biblical lols. Kaya napakahipocrito ang mga argumento ni Jeric. Baket? Tanong ng tanong kung biblical eh yung biblia niya mismo di niya majustify using the bible. Baket 66 books? Saan nakatala sa biblia ang mga libro/aklat na bumubuo dito at ang total nito 66 books at hindi 73 tulad ng gamit ng mga catolico? Ano batayang biblical sa pagbabawas nila sa septuagint ng libong taon ng ginagamit panahon pa ng mga apostol at pinalitan lang ng mga repormista bilang pagsunod sa mga pariseong Judyo. Saan ka nakakita ng ganun? Autoridad ng cristiano sa aral eh HUDYO?Ang masakit pa naniniwala silang BIBLIA LAMANG ANG TANGI, PINAKAMATAAS AT HULING AUTORIDAD HINGGIL SA ARAL CRISTIANO - eh ganun pala eh baket sa canon of scripture ang sinunod nila HUDYO AT HINDI BIBLIA? So lumalabas mas mataas na autoridad ang mga HUDYO sa biblia kase ang batayan nila ng biblia mga hudyo? Puro kahipocrituhan di ba? They teach one thing but do the exact opposite.
![]()
So asan na yung mahilig sa termino na biblical na gumagamit ng 66 aklat na biblia? Baket di niyo depensahan ang itinuturing niyong tamang listahan ng salita ng Dios na siya niyong pangunahing aral? Wala magtatanggol sa aral protestante/ebanghelico? O talaga lang alam niyo wala talagang batayan yang paniniwalang 66 aklat ang bumubuo sa biblia - dahil wala naman talaga sa biblia. At kahipocrituhan lumalabas ang aral protestante/ebanghelico. Baket? Eh they insist on having biblical basis on all doctrines but FAIL TO PROVIDE biblical basis for their primary doctrine regarding the composition of the word of God which is the bible.
So sa dami ng ebanghelico/protestante dito walang makasagot sa tanong. Ano ang ibig sabihin nito?
Dapat marealize nila na ang doctrina ng SOLA SCRIPTURA talagang untenable and demonstrably - SELF REFUTING. Kahipocrituhan yung aral nila na ang BIBLIA ANG TANGI, HULI AT PINAKAMATAAS NA AUTORIDAD SA ARAL CRISTIANO. Baket? Sa issue ng CANON OF SCRIPTURE na mahalagang bahagi ng aral nila ukol sa salita ng Dios ang sinunod nilang autoridad mga tao - MGA PARISEONG HUDYO sa council of Jamnia 90AD AT HINDI ANG BIBLIA. Malinaw sarili nilang aral sinasalungat nila. Hindi nila sinunod at masunod ang biblia at ang masakit pa - hindi cristiano ang sinunod nila kungdi mga HUDYO na siya ding nagpapako kay Cristo Hesus.
At paano nila titindigan yang doctrinang yan na kinahoy nila sa mga Hudyo? Wala naman sa biblia? So dapat ibasura yang aral na yan DAHIL HINDI NAMAN MATATAGPUAN AT MASUSUPORTAHAN NG BIBLIA. Sundin niyo ang aral niyo para di kayo maging mga hipocrito. Mangangaral kayo ng ganitong aral di niyo naman masunod? Eh ano tawag doon - malinaw na doctrina ng mga hipocrito.
Sumagot naman ang mga gumagamit ng 66 aklat na biblia dito na humahawak din sa Sola Scriptura o Bible Alone principle.
