151: The New Testament first popularized the codex in 100AD and was ...
The New Testament first popularized the codex form in 100AD for scripture and was the first book ever produced from the printing press in 1500AD. A conservative, bible believing perspective! God's providence gave us the 27 book New Testament Canon, not the church. God, not men decided the canon. This providence does not mean that church leaders were inspired in their selecting the canon, only that God had his eye on the scriptures the whole time and brought about His will to form the Bible we see today! The New Testament first popularized ... Introduction: A "codex" is a fancy word for "book format" with a binding, as opposed to a scroll format. Codices were used in the ancient world in the first century for secular purposes. Scrolls on the other hand were almost the exclusive format used for the Old Testament. It seems that Christians broke with Jewish tradition and began using the codex format from the very earliest time. This is quite striking. After this point scripture began to ... ...

155: Sola Scriptura: Scripture tells us John wrote the fourth Gospel ...
If the earliest, universal oral tradition clearly states that Paul wrote the book of Hebrews, why does the Roman Catholic church question this tradition to this day? (The Orthodox, are at least consistent in accepting this tradition, not that they are correct.) All this question about who wrote Hebrews, should embarrass the Roman Catholic church who says by its own inspired, God given authority, determined the 27 book canon. They claim that Rome determined Hebrews was inspired, yet never could say for certain who wrote the book. If knowing who wrote the fourth gospel is so important, they why is knowing who wrote Hebrews any less important? B. Apostle John wrote the fourth gospel: "The disciple whom Jesus loved = John" Scripture does not explicitly say who wrote the fourth gospel, but scripture does clearly reveal that John is the author when you take all the Bible verses together. Several Bible texts that clearly show us John is the author because John is the disciple whom Jesus ... ...
