  • The issues of the canon of Scripture and biblical authority are foundational differences between Protestantism and everything else.

I.  What is a biblical prophet? The office of a prophet?

  • “All the prophets,” including the New Testament prophets, are divine representatives, who speak for, and, beginning with Moses—write for—God, with supernatural aid, direction, and authority.

II. “The prophets” and “all the prophets” of Scripture alone

  • Every genuine prophet spoke, and eventually wrote, directly or indirectly, of the coming Messiah and His kingdom, with divine authority.

III. Does the New Testament also quote apocryphal books?

  • There is a difference between quoting something directly and alluding to something, and loosely resembling something as opposed to consciously alluding to it.
  • Romans 3:2

IV. We normally understand Scripture and canon to refer to the same books.

  • Some early church writers like Jerome, Athansius, Cyril, did not list apocrypha as part of the Old/New Testament canons, although they sometimes quoted them as (lower-tier) "Scripture."
  • We have the same Old Testament that was entrusted to the Jews, which Jesus and His Apostles affirmed.
  • The entire Old Testament speaks to, foretells, anticipates, looks forward to the coming Messiah who takes away all our sin.
