Tim Barnett and Wesley Huff Deep Dive on the Canon — The REAL Story

About this sermon

Tim Barnett of @RedPenLogic interviews apologist Wesley Huff on the origins of the canon of Scripture. They explain the difference between canonical books, apocryphal books, and Gnostic gospels, debunking the myth that the church “chose” the Bible centuries later. The discussion covers why Protestants reject the Apocrypha, why the Gospel of Thomas and other Gnostic texts were excluded, and how early Christians recognized, not decided, the inspired books. They also address how historical evidence confirms the early acceptance of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, while later writings like the Gospel of Peter contain obvious fabrications and theological distortions.
