🧵 New Covenant Confession of Faith (https://t.co/Fa955WyCbI)
Article I - Scripture
1. The Canon of Scripture
By Scripture, we mean the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament and the twenty-seven books of the New Testament, excluding the Apocryphal writings, which are not divinely inspired. While the Apocryphal writings may be of some interest, they have no more authority over us than any other human writing. The Canon of Scripture is now complete and therefore no new claims of canonical revelation will be accepted.
Hebrews 1:1-2
2. Inspiration
The Bible has both human and divine authorship. Though written over many centuries by men of differing perspectives, experiences, styles, temperaments, and languages, it is entirely free of contradictions. This unity is explained by the fact that the Holy Spirit of God is the true author of Holy Scripture. He inspired, or more precisely breathed out his message. He moved men to write what they wrote, incorporating their human personalities and literary styles into the text.
2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Luke 1:1-4, John 14:26, John 16:13-15, 2 Peter 3:15-16
3. Inerrancy and Authority
Scripture (the Bible) is the Word of God. The Bible is the only inspired, infallible, and inerrant writing that exists. By infallible, we mean that the Bible is incapable of error. By inerrant, we mean that the words themselves are without error. The Bible is without error even when it touches on subjects of history and science. It provides the absolute answers for all men, concerning how we are to be saved, what we are to believe, and how we are to live in order to please our Creator.
2 Timothy 3:16-17, John 10:34-35
4. The Clarity of Scripture
While all Scripture does not contain the same degree of clarity either by design or due to our limited understanding, we affirm that the Bible is sufficiently clear in revealing what one needs to know in order to come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
5. The Original Languages
The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and Aramaic. The New Testament was originally written in Greek.
6. The Autographs
All that has been said about the divine nature of the Bible applies strictly speaking to the original writings (the Autographs) and not to the translations. We believe that for all practical purposes we have the actual Word of God. Those parts of the Bible that we are not absolutely certain about do not affect the essentials of the Christian faith.
@TheSeanEsposito Because when He said it, He and they were still under the Old Covenant and under the mosaic law. The New Covenant is inaugurated at Pentecost.
Good Friday.
A day NOT to preach “Jesus kept the Law perfectly for you so that the righteousness He merited for you might be imputed to you, in accordance with the covenant of works which Adam violated.”
A day rather, to preach, “as of first importance” (1 Cor 15:3), the cross.
My recent 3+ hour conversation on the @ShawnRyanShow about the problem of evil, Bible translation, the Dead Sea Scrolls, angels, demons, nephilim, and I give Shawn a personalized @dawson_knives dagger to boot!

A few thoughts on family worship:
1. Family worship is a blessing.
2. We have complete freedom on how we do it.
3. There is no biblical command to do family worship 6-7 days per week.
4. We never want to "exasperate" our children, even with good things (Eph. 6).
This is my latest article (a response to @JoelWebbon):
"People who celebrate what God condemns and those who condemn what God celebrates are both abominations to God."

@MikeWingerii It's old covenant language and new covenant fulfillment. Exactly like with the tribe of Dan from the previous post.
Hears Israel but not really because Dan is missing (OC language) but actually he sees the elect - jew/gentile (NC fulfillment).
