This lesson’s focus was about the origins of the New
Testament. In essence, how the New
Testament Scriptures came to be. An
examination of what is contained in Scripture as well as what is omitted
provides valuable clues regarding the dating of certain books.
The video teaching spent a great deal of time on the
problems with and corruption of the Scriptures.
I sat through much of the video time asking myself if I was using the
right translation of the Bible because I know a few people who are King James
Version purists. But what I came away
with was a glorious view of the Lord Who takes my breath away with His Word –
even if I can’t read it in the original Greek and Hebrew to see all of the
miraculous codes that authenticate it.
One of these days, I may have to check out a course in
Biblical Greek and see how that goes. In
the meantime, I know that He will speak volumes through the versions I read and
study.
Dr. Missler ended our study time with a brief overview of
what he is going to discuss in depth next week as we study the Gospels
geographically. It promises to be
fascinating.
Homework for next time:
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John
