Biblical Stewardship: Using God’s Gifts to Support the Church
We desire to be a people who fulfill the call of biblical stewardship-using His gifts wisely to further His kingdom. Scripture shows us that giving is an act of worship that supports human flourishing and God’s work. As followers of Christ, we are called to steward what He has entrusted to us, embracing the joy and purpose found in advancing His extraordinary kingdom. May our generosity strengthen the Great Commission and reflect God’s love in all we do.

    OK, this may or may not get an answer from Dr. Kruger... but in his discussions on manuscripts... I can accept and do the fact and idea of older may be better and more right! However in making Bibles, WHY are we tied to the Greek New Testament that was created by Wescott & Hort? I can accept a Bible that uses "older" manuscripts, bun NOT any that use that Greek New Testament.... In all that I know, at age 81, is that THEIR WORK is not a TRUE or RIGHT work!! WHY did? WHY do? theologians since then put so much faith into THEIR WORK, and over the number of Greek manuscripts that we NOW HAVE!! A BIBLE that does NOT have their GREEK in it would BE a better, more right, and perhaps a more true Bible!!

Working with the homeless for years, there are so many things these individuals have to overcome. Most need to go to rehab for at least 2 years. Many can't fathom living in places with rules. Some like being outdoors. Severe mental illness affects 90%+ of the homeless population. We had a young lady at the shelter a few weeks ago with 2 small children saying she wanted to have another baby:( She constantly broke rules and caused problems. After many warnings (the nuns went out of their way to try and keep them), we had to put her and her kids out on the street again. It's a devastating situation all the way around. Taking away food is barbaric.

Protestants called these books apocryphal never has the Catholic Church called them that. these 7 books were a part of the Christian Bible for 1500 years. Luther had issues with relics and prayers for the dead so he didn't like Macabres. No Jews were not unanimous in rejecting these books. Jews were all over the place on canons. only judaizers side with Jewish canons.

      He explained this. There was a core group of the new testament letters/books that were already part of the canon. The few that were not in the list were recognized later. There were requirements that were met to determine if a book was canonical. There were at least 4 things. The apocrypha doesn't 'look' like the inspired scripture and they weren't written early enough to be considered. There were others.

I have had my suspicions about Paul but the way the church seems to have placed authority to scripture is... problematic to say the least. My struggle with Paul recently started with two specific quotes he makes in Romans 10:18-21. Those quotes from Isaiah and Hosea is supposed to give support to the calling of heathens to the word of God. Because Israel rejected him. But Paul took those verses totally out of context. I mean TOTALLY. Both those verses from Isaiah and Hosea is about Israel!! If he can make that mistake in what other ways is his ideas at fault? Why should I believe the rest? Think about it.

    The "extra books" were not adopted at the council of Trent, the canon was confirmed at Trent as the Canon already in use for the last at least 1300 years. Protestants removed these books from their bibles over the next 100 years after Trent.

      @johnallen5999 2 месяца назад

      The extra books were not in the original Hebrew canon. They were added to the Greek Septuagint with a status of secondary, thus the name "deuterocanonical." The canon confirmed in whole at Trent was gradually built by Rome with a clear agenda. Anyone who cares to research the subject further should start at the commission of the Greek Septuagint & try to answer the question: were these books considered to be inspired by Jerome? The answer is demonstrated clearly by the very name given to them.

    Christians didn't have a BIBLE until the end of the 4th century. They had some books (letters), the larger cities had somewhat complete collections of NT writings. They also had the Septuagint version of the OT which was more dispersed than the Hebrew version. We have a complete collection of the 73 books by the mid 3rd century or end of the 4th century.

    • @ExaltedTilemaker
      @ExaltedTilemaker 3 месяца назад

      There are only 66 books. The apocrypha books were made in the intertestamental period and are therefore verifably the words of fallible men, not God. Many popes, including Gregory, did not recognize them as inspired scripture. Just one year after church tradition was to have equal authority with scripture, the apocrypha was added to Rome's canon, because the pope at the time, like most people that considered apocrypha books were scripture at the time, did not know much about the language or history behind them (which is why they were in that error). While we did not have a Bible until that time, the scriptures that compiled the Bible existed. Unless you're going to argue that it isn't the word of God until we have a complete canon, then this argument doesn't hold. By that logic, God had no authority in Moses' time, because the canon we have today wasn't anywhere near completed.

      Jesus Christ himself quoted scripture. God himself.....quoted scripture... That's because it is the infallible word of God. You would know nothing of Jesus if not for scripture. Why do you think Paul had to write all those letters to the early churches? Cause they were made of men trying to do their own thing with the church even that close to Christ's resurrection. Preaching alternate Gospels and blending pagan ideas with Christianity. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says ""All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work". I'll take an Apostle's word that scripture alone is enough to make the man of God complete, because those were God's words he wrote down.

    14:29: Respectfully sir, Jesus did not say, "Behold I am making a New Covenant." He said, "This cup is the New Covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you." (Luke 22:20, NKJV). So... the New Covenant is not simply some sort of agreement. The New Covenant, according to Jesus, is a cup filled with the blood of Jesus. Pretty clear. Sure, it can be argued that the idea of writing down the nature of the covenant into a document could have been a factor in assembling the NT canon, but let's not allow ambiguity regarding what the New Covenant actually is. The New Covenant is the physical blood of Jesus (and, one can easily argue, the bread which is his body as well). Our Lord tells us so. No, Jesus did not say, "Behold I am making a New Covenant." Sounds like the Catholic Eucharist to me, according to the document. :)

    • @ExaltedTilemaker

      This is the same error that Muslims make. They refuse to accept what the Bible clearly teaches because it doesn't word things in the exact way that they have ahead of time approved. You can point to all the verses that teach the diety of Christ, but they will refuse to accept it because Hesus never said the exact phrase "I am God. Worship me." This is narcissism and not wanting to believe what scripture says, simple as that. Jehovah's witnesses do the same thing too I've noticed. "The Bible says Jesus is the firstborn of creation! That means he's the first thing ever created! Otherwise it would be worded differently!" And catholics do this on a many number of things. "Where in the Bible does it specifically say that scripture is the sole infallible rule of faith?" Same thing. Heretics seem to have zero originality. To be exegetical and honest, the new covenant in Jesus' blood referred to His sacrifice on the cross, which is the propitiation for sin. John 6:53-56 takes place before this, so trying to inset the eucharaist into there as Catholics do to support transsubstantiation is disingenuous.
