In this teaching we will be looking at how our Bible was put together and what books were removed. We will explore the biblical canon of the Scriptures, along with the books that were excluded that were not considered cannon. We will also see how some of the books were plagiarized by false teachers to deceive others. On a final note, we will see how Jesus and some of the Apostles’ writings would quote from books outside of the 66 cannon books of our modern Bible.
Who are the Fathers of Christianity? In this teaching, we will be going back to the Early Church before 325 AD. In 325 AD, the Council of Nicaea and the Roman Catholic Church were formed. We will be looking at the first and second-century Churches to see what their most primitive teachings were, and who these Apostles were who passed down their teachings to their students. Would you rather learn from someone's teachings from the 1800s or the purest source you can go to?
Why did Jesus teach in parables? In this teaching we will be learning how important it is to understand that Jesus used nature to explain God's Kingdom to us. He interpreted the Law to show us there is much more hidden within the Law. In addition, this teaching will show how the parables contain a deeper meaning for those who are willing to seek them out.
Is the Law still valid? In this teaching we will be exploring how Jesus came to correctly interpret the Law to take us into a deeper understanding. We will also be exploring the Early Church to see if they still upheld the Law of Moses. Jesus quoted the Law as well, therefore, is the Law done away with?
Why is it important to have spiritual Fathers? The spiritual Fathers are needed, since they are the Apostles of the Church. They take care of the babies in the faith and raise them up to become Apostles themselves. Without an Apostle or a spiritual Father, we cannot grow into the fullness of what God has for us.
