The Authority of the Biblical Canon

All problems in the Church arise from neglect of the Bible. From the heretics to the orthodox churches, every problem that has arisen in Christianity is a result of confessing only with words that the Bible is the Church’s foundation while having failed to truly hold onto this. Thus, the solution to every problem in the Church is to simply return to the Scripture.

1. Heretical entities that have sprung up by adding to or subtracting something from the Bible 2. New theology and liberation theology that devastated the Church 3. Religious pluralism that stripped Christianity even of its identity 4. Apostasy and derailing of the US and European churches that accepted homosexuality 5. Many churches that elevate religious dogma and tradition over the Bible 6. Blind faith in the revelations that historical saints and mystics have received 7. Blind faith in contemporary ecstatic or spiritual experiences

Why do these problems arise? They arise from a disbelief in the absolute authority of the Bible or underestimation of it even if they do believe in its authority. So I believe the faith in the ultimate authority of the Bible needs to be restored.

However, there is a serious roadblock to believing in the absolute authority of the Bible. The problem is the canonization process. I have been feeling a dire need and a huge burden to provide teaching on the reliability of the canonization process.

Why is this topic, which is of little interest to the public, important? It is because, as the saying goes, “A deeply rooted tree will not be shaken.” One will not stumble or be shaken to and fro by all kinds of teachings only when he or she stands on the conviction that the 66 books of the Bible constitute the canon.
