THE BIBLE CANON : M. M. NINAN 54
THE BIBLE CANON : M. M. NINAN Chapter Four New Testament <strong>Canon</strong> The Old Covenant was not complete because the people were afraid to hear all the commandments of God. Soon they realized that they cannot stand the voice of the Lord and asked for an intermediary. That intermediary was for a time Moses. But Moses was not enough. Dt.18:15-19 "This is what you yourselves asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the Assembly. 'Do not let me hear again' you said, 'the voice of the Lord my God, nor look any longer on this great fire, or I shall die'; and God said to me, 'All they have spoken is well said. I will raise up a prophet like yourself for them from their own brothers; I will put my words into his mouth and he shall tell them all I command him to say." Hence a fuller revelation became necessary and that required God to appear in person to talk to the whole world in person. The entire Hebrew religion was built on the promise of the appearance of this holy intermediary defined at Sinai. Jn.3:31-34. He who comes from above is above all others. He who is born of the earth is earthly himself and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven...speaks God's own words." Just as Old Testament authority rely on the objective direct revelation of God to a nation, New Testament authority flows from the objective direct revelation of God to man in Christ Jesus. This was a more fuller, final and objective revelation. Validity of all New Testament Scripture comes from what is given by Jesus directly. It was handed down over a long period of three and half years in contrast to a few weeks at Sinai. It was once and for all delivered to the disciples. Jesus himself did not write any documents. The basic scriptural authority therefore comes from the primary witnesses and disciples whom Jesus called and appointed – the Apostles. During the Apostolic Era the Apostles taught the doctrine. Beyond the Apostles there were other witnesses and disciples. Beyond the Apostolic period the faith was handed down through discipling through the ages. The Holy Spirit which was given only to the select and for a particular purpose and for a time in the Old Testament period was now replaced with the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit within the believers. This provided a permanent Prophetic office for every believer. But the test of the prophets are to be adhered to. Every prophecy must be still validated by the faith once delivered to the saints. 55
