What a shocking statement.  Written with such authority and finality.

We believe that the 66 books of the Canon, from Genesis to Revelation are the exhaustive, inerrant and inspired word of God.

I didn't say I disagreed with that, so not sure how that is relevant. 

There are some strange books out there for sure. But to speak with such authority on all the apocryphal books based on website articles, wiki pages and theories on dating and origin by scholars, seems so closed minded and final to me.  Seems a tragic viewpoint to me. 

However, to each his own. This will just be a difference between us.  If some out there don't like the apocrypha at all and see it as good as "garbage", that's up to them.  I will certainly not want to be counted in their number though.  So let's just agree to leave our differences there.

I can see from the responses that no one appears to think the Bible is still being written. Also I see that the point that I stated that the Bible is misunderstood and misquoted has been proven. I know that beliefs are held dear and fiercely defended, but kindness and civility is always needed and expected within christian fellowship. I do believe the Bible is still being written however it does not offend me that others do not. It does not offend to see other ideas and concepts, if fact I find it extremely interesting to see how others think and how they believe, so I am glad for these chances for the exchanging of views. I do believe in absolute truths but also realize that all the truths I hold will not be accepted by others. It will not prevent me from stating these truths, but it also doesn't prevent me from hearing what others think and believe. I will never debate truth but am always willing to discuss it. I do appreciate a response from BeauJangles in that he read something I had written and asked a question and showed a curiosity that is appreciated and refreshing. A man that doesn't claim to already have all the answers.

Thanks for your reply, Tze. The relevance of the Statement Of Faith is in the words exhaustive, inerrant, and inspired, exhaustive of course referring to the closed canon which provides that no other books or writings meet the criteria for inclusion. Those who disagree with this doctrinal position are directed to the sub-forum shown below:

Non-Conformist Theology

... discussions of doctrinal positions that disagree with our Statement of Faith.

That would constitute a non-conformist view and would need to be discussed in that sub-forum as per my previous post.

As I am new to this site, not sure what is being said here. If I believe something that doesn't conform to the general way of thinking, I'm not allowed to post it in general discussion?  That appears extremely restrictive.  Are you are the one that decides and monitors this? Just asking as all of this is new to me, but if this is the case I am afraid I won't be part of this forum much longer.

That link brings up this below error:

Sorry, there is a problem

We could not locate the item you are trying to view.

Error code: 2F176/1

But don't worry Michael, I get your message clearly.  I'm a "non-conformist" and so I should leave you "conformists" comfortably segregated.  Thank you your warm words.

Amen brother.  Attitudes like this make me lose interest in posting as well.

I have gone to the statement of faith. I am a Christian and love and believe in the Lord God and the Lord Jesus, but I do not believe all that is stated in the statement of faith held in this forum. If this means I am not welcome then I can accept that. I am not here to disrupt but did hope there could be exchanges of viewpoint and ideas within the belief of our Lord, not that I had be be of the "conformist" view of all things. If I am not welcome to remain and discuss freely then I hope that someone who monitors this site will tell me and I will leave in peace.

I have to take exception here.  The last resource I would use for just about any scriptural research would be Wikipedia.

I have dismissed so many of these writings personally because I have read them and what I have read does not support the doctrine of the Bible.

I have studied the Bible for a very long time and have always been interested in how God's Word got from the writing utensil of Moses to my own hands.  It's a miracle to me that God preserved and kept his Word for us.  I love studying and researching the history of the Bible and have for years.

What's tragic, to me, is that countless people read much of these books and just assume it's all an extension of the Bible and don't know how to sort it all out.

I also am amazed by the history of the Bible and truly believe it is the inspired word of God and a miracle and proof of the existence of God. I also believe that it will not be added to at this time. Yet knowing that God is not done with man and only a short period of man's history and God's plan has unfolded I do not want to dare say that the Almighty God cannot add to his holy word. I am not in such a position of arrogance to make such a statement. I am rather open to the idea that in his Kingdom that the Bible may be changed, that actions of faith will be added, that additional history of the church could be added. Also I still go back to one of my questions or thoughts in regards to this matter.... if all sin is forgiven and forgotten must the patriarchs of the Bible such as King David always have their sins known, will there still be a need to have these lessons before us? Wouldn't it fit more to the love and mercy of God to have those sins erased from the Bible?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
