Who was it that determined the 66 books of the Canon ?

Ultimately, the Holy Spirit.

You are actually laying the groundwork for discrediting the Bible as it is.

No I'm not, I just asked a question.

 

[Phil G]

No I'm not, I just asked a question.

But it was a question implying that the canon of Scripture is either incomplete or tampered with in some way.

That wasn’t a question asked as if you didn’t know the answer.

Wrong, I was just wondering why the book of Enoch isn't in the Bible also the book of Jashar which is also mentioned at Joshua 10:13.

This is not the first time you’ve alluded to the Bible being incomplete. Stop trying to gaslight me.

 

[Apple Sky]

Stop trying to gaslight me.

Sorry - I didn't mean to gaslight you.

No idea.
But those are OT books. You'd need to ask the Jews why they didn't include them in their Scriptures - the Scriptures that Jesus used.

 

[Phil G]

Sorry - I didn't mean to gaslight you.

That’s fine, but just because books are mentioned in the Bible doesn’t mean they should be part of Scripture. Paul quotes a pagan in Titus 1:12 but that doesn’t give credence to him.

Ha ha…I don’t think so! But at least you’re still looking for the answer. Maybe someday you’ll realise there’s no answer from flat earth claims that makes any sense.

And then…in the words of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes:

“Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.”

So far, based on the evidence of facts, aerial masts, underground cables, balloons, ionosphere, and now aircraft with satellite dishes, are all impossible sources for consistent satellite tv signals received by fixed satellite dishes aligned to an empty sky.

“Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.”

Nothing is impossible for God - Therefore every thing must be the truth, even F/E

 

[Phil G]

Nothing is impossible for God - Therefore every thing must be the truth, even F/E

Touché

But that also means globe earth is also the truth

 

[Apple Sky]

But that also means globe earth is also the truth

No, they both can't be the true not unless God decided to create a deflated flat ball.

Well now nothing is impossible with God, so there is no “can’t be”.

Unless we talk about evidence as to what is. In which case the earth is a globe based on evidence

 

[Apple Sky]

Unless we talk about evidence as to what is.

What is evident to God isn't always what is evident to us.

 

[Strong in Him]

What is evident to God isn't always what is evident to us.

What is evident to God is that he created a beautiful, amazing world which he said was very good.
He created us in his image and told us to care for his world - Adam and Eve were given the task of caring for the garden.
Because they disobeyed God, sin came into the world and messed everything up - plants and animals suffered and died and humans fought and killed one another. God had a plan to reconcile mankind to himself - Jesus' death on the cross achieved peace and reconciliation.
We still have a job of caring for the world, and one day the whole of creation will be healed and reconciled to God too.

THAT is what he wants, that is his plan, that is what we have the privilege of doing.
The shape of the earth has nothing whatsoever to do with that. When we meet with God we WILL be asked how we used our gifts, helped others, spread the Good News and used our time. We will NOT be asked what shape we believed the earth to be.
Once again, if it had been important to God that we know that, he would have told us - plain and simply. Jesus would have taught it and it would be a major church doctrine. But he didn't and it isn't.

 

[Phil G]

What is evident to God isn't always what is evident to us.

That’s why He gave us brains and inquisitive minds. So we can research and seek out the wonders of His creation.

And His creation is infinite (at least to the human mind) just as His love and mercy are infinite. Not just big, not just huge, but infinite.

If we limit the size of His creation, we limit Him.

 

[prodromos]

Doesn't mean it's no true as Enoch is mentioned in Scripture.

The person, not the book.
