S3 E8: The Consequences of a Closed Canon

Send a one-way encouraging text to Spirit-Led Hope!

Season 3 of Spirit-Led Hope is all about the Bible. In this episode, Glenn looks at the consequences of a having a closed canon where nothing can be added to or subracted from the 66 books of the Protestant Bible. One of the consequences is that a closed canon means Christians will disagree with some beliefs or religions. With kindness, Glenn explains how a closed canon causes him to disagree with other beliefs such as those taught by Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, Oneness Pentecostals, and New Age practitioners.
