Canonicity, the Bible, and Us—how we discover, not determine God’s Will

2022-10-22 by bible805

Who decided what books are in the Bible?

Many have heard the term “Canonicity” used with this topic—what does it mean?

Did the Church make the decision of what’s in the Bible? How did they or whoever was responsible, decide?

These are incredibly important questions for us to answer because if the books that make up our Bibles, the “canon” of Scripture are merely the result of human effort and decision, it doesn’t matter if we read them or what we do with them.

However, if they are from God Himself, given to us through human authors, they are authoritative for our beliefs and how we should live.

The process of canonicity is how the church decided these important issues and that’s what our lesson talks about. Below are links to the podcast, video, and notes, plus a PDF download of the Easter Letter of Athanasius that first listed the 27 books of the New Testament and is also an excellent summary of some of the important points of canonicity.

The Trinity Throughout the Bible, Understanding the Trinity, part Three

2022-09-08 by bible805

Lesson on the Three persons of the TrinityTo many, the Trinity is especially hard to understand in the Old Testament, particularly when we look at the Shema, which says “our God is One.” How can that key belief support the idea of the Trinity?

In this lesson you’ll see how the very words themselves support it fully in that in Hebrew, both “God” and the word “One” are plural nouns, and not only is the word “God, Elohim” the plural noun used here but it is used 2600 times in the Old Testament. In addition to showing this important word study, we’ll also show how the clear Biblical statement that God the Father cannot be seen with the contrasting statements that people saw and talked to God is explained by the Trinity (see the lesson for the full explanation). The lesson also covers the different ways the Holy Spirit was/is involved with believers.

The One Substance of the Trinity, Understanding the Trinity, part Two

2022-09-08 by bible805

The Substance of the Trinity, lesson 2 of three partsIn the first lesson, on the Trinity,  we looked at how the members of the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are uncreated, co-equal, and eternal persons. In this lesson we look at what makes them ONE God and that is their attributes or substance. This is what all members of the Trinity have in common and what makes them unique. We will look at the attributes of justice, holiness, love, omnipotence, omnipresence, mercy, and others. After defining the characteristic, we’ll then look at how it relates to us and how we should respond because of it.

The Three Persons of the Trinity, Understanding the Trinity, Part One

2022-09-08 by bible805

Lesson on the Three persons of the Trinity

In contrast to views the widely held, but totally incorrect view that the Trinity is “like ice, water, and steam” which is, in reality, the ancient heresy of Modalism that has God morphing into various forms as God the Father in the Old Testament becoming God the Son in the New Testament, and becoming God the Holy Spirit today, this lesson will demonstrate how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are uncreated, co-equal, and eternal persons.

The Lesson will show this by demonstrating that each person of the Trinity has the characteristics of personhood including personal relations, intellect, emotions, and will. In addition, the lesson will show how the persons of the Trinity work together in our salvation.
