The NT canon is not men's work, not of men's doing, but of God.


How do you know, since scripture doesn't define the canon? Get it yet?


Yet, someone needs to DEFINE what "Jesus is the Lord" means Brian? We have the definition in the Scriptures....


And all the Mormons and New Agers and Satanist and every heretic that ever lived agrees with that statement and says "Amen". The problem is, the "definition" you or they come up with is based on personal interpretation. If you can't measure that up against something more authoritative than your own fallible brain, you cannot be sure you interpreted it correctly in the first place.
No, I don't get it as I do not know your spirit by which you speak. You are not giving respect to the work of the Holy Ghost in leading us into all Truth, and this Truth includes what books are of God or not. Get it?

The Scriptures need not be measured to anything else but themselves. The Scriptures are very plain and clear as to who Jesus is.

  

I am not your teacher and only wish to share things with you that you may in turn try them by your own knowledge of the Lord. I really don't know any thing. Still learning and growing in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Praying for you and all men that you would also come to the knowledge of the truth and continue to grow in it. I am a sinner, but I have a hope that God through Jesus Christ our Lord will deliver me from my present situation of being a sinner and deliver me from this vile body and I thank him for this promise of eternal life. This is my faith that I share with all my brethren in the Lord who we patiently wait for. Jesus Christ IS come in the flesh.

Rom 8:22-25  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
