Introduction
14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. 16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
The oldest parts of Tbe Bible (the first 5 books were written as long ago as 3,500 tears
SO how can we trust a book that is so old and we have no originals?
thousands of prophisees have come true
597 BC Ezekial predicted that
Nebuchadnezzar would destroy villages
He would build a seige mound
many nations would would attack tyre
the city would be flattened like a rock
stones timber and soil would be thrown into the sea.
at the time it was one of the most secure and weathiest in the entire world massive walls they even had an island city so that they had a place to escape to
Secular History
Nebichadnezzer came up against the city
after he built a seigh mound the people moved out to the island city and he could not attack it
in 330 B.C. Alexander the great attacked
again the inhabitints moved out to the island city
Alexander wanted the island city too so he took the rocks timbers and soil and dumped them inot the sea and made a bridge to the island city.
This prediction was more than 250 yers in the future (Divine assistence
2. The Fall of Babylon
Babilon was also one of the richest cities in the world
the walls were 75 ft thick and 300 ft high
it was surounded by the great river euphrates that made a moat around the city that was as much as 250ft across
Jeremiah and Issiah prophisied the end to Babylon
9 For behold, I am stirring up and bringing against Babylon a gathering of great nations, from the north country. And they shall array themselves against her. From there she shall be taken. Their arrows are like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.
36 Therefore thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will plead your cause and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea and make her fountain dry,
38 A drought against her waters, that they may be dried up! For it is a land of images, and they are mad over idols.
39 While they are inflamed I will prepare them a feast and make them drunk, that they may become merry, then sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake, declares the Lord.

Secular History
The eurphraties river went under the city
siris the keeg of the meeds and the persions redirected the river to cause it to go into a bason and marched his troops under the wall of the city
When that happened the babylonians were drunk and feasting
and the city was taken
Theese are just two examples of prophesy yet every single prophicy found in the scripture took place
The dead sea scrolls backed up what the Bible says
They are surely one of the greatest discoveries in modern times
They are surely one of the greatest discoveries in modern times
They are divided into two categories Biblical and non Biblical
Fregments of every book of the Hebrew cannon were found
The Issiah scroll found relitivly intact is 1000 years older than any previously know coppy making them the oldest group of the old testement found
Suptuagint-4th Centery
Dead sea Scrolls-
Canonicity
The cannon is the 66 books in our Bible and our the only inspired books
The word cannon comes from greek and herbrew words that litterally means a measuring rod. Therfore canonicity describes the standard that books had to meet to be reconized as scripture
To determine the cannon Scholers gathered together at church councils in the first several ceturies for the puropse of officially reconizing books as inspired they simply reconized what God had already determined
Tests of Cannonicity
The Test of Divine Insperation-Does it claim to be divinely inspired? Is it inspired
THe test of Human authorship-Is the book Written by an accredited agent of God such as a prophet, christ, or one of His apposles If not, did the writer have the gift of prophecy (David, Daniel) or a relation to a prophet or an apostle (Mark, Luke) that would raise his book to the level of their writings? Can the book be traced back to the time and/or the writer from who it professes to have come?
The Test of Authenticity
The Test of Authenticity
Is the book factually true? It is noteworthy that Bible authors did not use the false
philosophical and scientific opinions of their times.
have the gift of prophecy (David, Daniel) or a relation to a prophet or an apostle (Mark, Luke) that would raise his book to the level of their writings? Can the book be traced back to the time and/or the writer from who it professes to have come?
The Test of Testimony
The Test of Testimony
Was the book universally recognized by the Jews and/or by the Christian church as being God's Word? Does the Holy Spirit bear witness to the regenerated reader that the book is His Word?
The Test of Agreement
Does the book agree doctrinally with the teachings of known canonical books? While there is progression in the Bible's revelation of doctrine, there is no contradiction. Is the content of the book of such spiritual character that it is in harmony with the dignity and majesty of God?
The appocropha also does not pass the test of cannoncity.
Texts
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
matt 5:17-
12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it
2 Tim 3:15-1
Paul is writting to timothy about the authority of Scripture
Notice what he says in vers 15
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
From the point Timothy was a little Child his mother and grandmother taught him the holy scriptures, the sacred writings.
This was the Old testement,
Notice what it says in the next sintence
“Which were able to make thee wise unto salvation”
There is enough in the Old testement to become a believer.
The context here is Timothy is a yong pastor and some were questioning the newer scripture so Paul goes on to say
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
All Scripture is
Paul mooves from the holy writings to all scripture
meaning the whole of scripture, leaving nothing out.
-Inspired
Litterly means God breathed
Paul is instructing timothy The Scripture is from God, although God used men to produce scripture the ultimate origin was God
20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
3 As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine,

-Profitble
Scripture is valuable because it corrects false teaching while Building up believers to live Godly lives

Scripture helps believers fulfil the work of the ministery 1 tim 4:1-5
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Scripture is a gift to Gods people God has not left timoth or the belivers in ephisis to do good works on there own He provided them with scripture and each other for doing good in the name of Christ
1 Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
He didnt leave the early church then and he cirtenly has not left us todat
The Bible is as true and profitable today as it was when Paul wrote this letter to timothy
12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
The word of God is able to divide all parts of the human being
Body
Spirit
Soul
Spirit
The Bible is a true factual book that we must let work on our lives
