This podcast examines the Westminster Confession of Faith to establish the definitive list of books comprising the Old and New Testaments. It refutes historical claims that the church arbitrarily selected scripture, demonstrating instead that the canon was recognized by early Jewish and Christian communities as divinely inspired. The speaker distinguishes between the authoritative Scriptures and non-canonical works like the Apocrypha, which hold historical but no doctrinal value. Furthermore, the teaching asserts that the authority of the Bible rests solely on God as its author, rather than on the testimony of any human institution or church. This foundation ensures that believers submit to an infallible Word rather than fallible human opinion.
