Who first canonized the Bible?


Biblical Canon

The earliest known attempt to create a canon in the same respect as the New Testament was in 2nd century Rome by Marcion, a Turkish businessman and church leader. Marcion's work focused on the Gospel of Luke and the letters of Paul.  Apr 23, 2019

How did the Bible become canonized?


Canonization is the process by which the books of the Bible were discovered as authoritative. Men did not canonize Scripture; men simply recognized the authority of the books that God inspired. The foundation of the Old Testament (and the entire Bible) is the Pentateuch.

Which council decided the books of the Bible?


Eventually, the question was taken up by Church councils. At the Council of Hippo, held in north Africa in AD 393, a group of church leaders recognized a list of books that they believed to be scripture. Later, the Council of Carthage affirmed that decision in AD 397.

Did the Catholic Church canonize the Bible?

The Catholic Church provided a conciliar definition of its biblical canon in 382 at the (local) Council of Rome (based upon the Decretum Gelasianum, of uncertain authorship) as well as at the Council of Trent of 1545, reaffirming the Canons of Florence of 1442 and North African Councils (Hippo and Carthage) of 393–419.

What did the Council of Nicea do to the Bible?

Meeting at Nicaea in present-day Turkey, the council established the equality of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in the Holy Trinity and asserted that only the Son became incarnate as Jesus Christ. The Arian leaders were subsequently banished from their churches for heresy.

Is Bible written by God?

The Bible's origin is both human and divine—not just from God and not just from humans. The Bible's narratives, poems, histories, letters, prophecies, and other writings come from a profound collaboration between humanity and God.

What did the Council of Hippo do?

The council also reaffirmed the apostolic origin of the requirement of clerical continence and reasserted it as a requirement for all the ordained, in addition requiring that all members of a person's household must be Christian before that person can be ordained.

Council of Nicea

The First Council of Nicaea was a council of Christian bishops convened in the Bithynian city of Nicaea by the Roman Emperor Constantine I in AD 325. This ecumenical council was the first effort to attain consensus in the church through an assembly representing all Christendom.

Start date: May 325 AD

Attendance: 318 (traditional number); 250–318 (estimates) – only five from Western Church

Dark hour of tribulation

 2:44 pm 3.19.22 / 3:03 pm / 6:44 pm  What is the significance of The Sixth Seal? " The sixth seal will be the literal cosmic disturbances caused by nuclear war or a global earthquake that causes volcanic debris to pollute the atmosphere, which turns the moon blood red and the sun dark ." We know that prophecies are being fulfilled right before our very eyes and we could reference the Book of Ezekiel but the Sixth Seal is very significant. What is happening in the world? Is this the time as in Prophecy? It almost seems like bullies play with sleeping giants. You have what is called as vexation. You have nations with different ideologies where they are run by a different principles being communism that we can refer to as totalitarianism regimes. We know they don't favour the West. In the past some of these places in the world were run under strict measures. And there is some type of dispute with land and people who use to be part of their country but they don't want th

If I can pray for peace

 Sunday March 13th 2022 7:44 p.m. Elvis Presley - If I Can Dream  ('68 Comeback Special)  Matthew's Beatitudes hold the well-worn saying, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God ”   It's Sunday March 13th 2022 and the war continues in the Ukraine. There is news that an American journalist has been killed and that some military base has been attacked. I've heard about the devastation and it's just horrible that people are dying including children. People are also protesting in certain Nations. I believe they may have gone to some embassies. I was hoping some Street Preachers could give a word and stand for Christ and the gospel. I've just heard that Russia asked China for military help in media news. Cities have been bombed and I believe they're closing in on the biggest city in the Ukraine. I would ask Christians everywhere to pray for peace. We certainly hope this does not escalate into something that is out of control.
