let me see if i understand this.

this guy is telling us that once all (however many in total) books were written by inspiration, what then happened to those books was left at the mercy of mere humans, deciding for themselves what got included and what not.
so he's saying our omnipotent Creator either abandoned us, or isn't omnipotent, or allowed His Word to get messed with.

throughout the ages these books have not been available to all, but only to those with education.
in this last age, of education (nothing more than the ability to read) available to all, that what IS spread everywhere is that 66 book canon, with all its later additions inserted in the first centuries, 'pseudo-authors', and clear-cut attempts of humans to mess with the Word.

those other books were primarily for those few who could read them in those previous ages. those people in turn influenced those who came after, which convolutedly led to the formation of the 66 book canon.
now it may be that someone today can find new understanding in those other books, but they can also confuse, and they're definitely not available to all.
however many of the other books are included in one's version of the 'Bible', the 66 are alway there.

it's tempting to go look elsewhere, outside those 66 books, for understanding, i did too, initially.
or to doubt their veracity, especially knowing how they came to take form.
until i thought harder on Who's in charge, and what He's made available to all.
and looked again, and started understanding what those 66 books are telling us.
i know what i stake my life on.

Really, really interesting. I watched the previous video you sent of him and I should watch a few more as he brings a few interesting insights. 👍

100% right. The collection of 66 scrolls was never a thing. That became a thing when religion started hijacking our Hebrew scriptures and tampering with them. It was religious people who were not at all influenced by The Most High Mighty One of Yashar'el who came ip with the cannon. They were definitely influenced by other spirits.

Last Shabbat, one of my home fellowships listened to a youtube video from a pastor from an Assembly of Yahweh congregation. He quoted a few verses from the Book of Enoch. I was one of the few people in the congregation that was able to turn to the Enoch Scriptures.

Some true and some he's kinda leading his watchers on.
The canon was set in the first century by the Pharisees who owned the synagugues. Josephus was a Pharisee and testifies to a 22 book canon, which is the same as the 24 book because our Tanakhs break up two books that theirs did not. The fall of the temple and Judea happened in such a way that the faith was preserved through the Pharisees and their synagogue system. These are the ancestors of Rabbinic Judaism. If we look with our eyes, it's pretty obvious YHVH wanted things to happen the way they happened. The Essenes were eradicated. As were the Saducces and the Sicarri. If Yeshua had to fit in one of those boxes, He would have definitely been a Pharisee, btw.

We at our house also have a very old KJV that "includes" the Apocrypha. But it's in a different section called that so the reader knows it's not scripture (which he does get around to mentioning).

Please don't just say "it existed at Qumran so it must have been scripture." Nobody really knows what those folks believed. Nobody even knows how they organized their library. Some scholars think some of the caves might have been storage, like a garage of stuff that stopped being used. Some of the stuff at Qumran that we regard as scripture is mixed in with stuff we've never seen before, like a book of Leviticus 23 that contains "the festivals of wood and oil." It takes a ton of time to sort throught his stuff. Some think some of the stuff found at Qumran might have been stored/hidden by someone else trying to preserve it from the Roman onslaught. This stuff is really complex, guys.

The Ethiopians think they have the ark of the covenant in a hut. Please learn about these different groups before adopting their "canon" of scripture. I have a Koran on my bookshelf next to my other religious texts. If someone found my library 100 years later, would they think I regarded it as scripture?I have the Samaritan Torah as well. Would they believe I was a Samaritan Jew?

I think these discussions come up because folks want things to be scripture or they believe "they" are hiding stuff from us. Maybe I'm wrong. Why do you guys want to expand the canon so badly? I personally use Apocrypha for study and to be informed and am cool with it not being scripture but accurate history. Why does it need to be considered scripture?
