Other Parts of Scripture 07 Jun 20

(Message 8) Did you know that the accounts of Jesus’ life, the Gospels, are written by eyewitnesses or based on eyewitness accounts?

Today we’ll talk about a couple of personal reasons to believe as we continue in our series. #GCHoldFast

Inclusion in the “canon” of scripture:

  1. Apostolicity: connected to the Apostles
  2. Orthodoxy: correct in doctrine, it agrees with the life and teachings of Jesus
  3. Catholicity: universally accepted by the early church
