As believers, we know what we have in the Holy Bible is God's very words. In episodes 100 to 102 of The Postscript, Dean of Living Faith Bible Institute Alan Shelby addressed the doctrines of Scripture like inerrancy, inspiration, preservation, translation and transmission. On today's show Provost of LFBI Brandon Briscoe has invited Pastor Alan back onto the show to discuss the related topic of Bible canonization. We answer questions like - How can we know our Bible is complete? How can we know the Bible is not missing any books? What about the apocryphal books? Do we need to constantly revise our understanding of the Bible?

II Peter 1 presents seven things the believer needs to add to their faith in order to mature in Christlike thought, behavior and speech. The promise of Scripture is that if these seven things are applied properly, the believer will grow in fruitfulness, a relationship with Christ now and an abundant entrance into His kingdom in the future (II Peter 1:8-11). Justin Trotter of Callie Harbin Baptist Church in Villa Rica, GA joins us today to walk through this passage, expounding what it means to grow in faith, virtue, knowledge and temperance. We examine these key components to fruitfully and faithfully living out the Christian life God has purposed for us as believers. In the next episode, we will walk through the last few things in this II Peter 1 list that the believer needs to add to their faith in order to receive a full reward at the judgment seat of Christ.

We examine the theological framework and contradictory life of Karl Barth with Dr. Alan Shelby, Dean of the Living Faith Bible Institute. Barth was a Swiss theologian who gained popularity amongst Protestants and Catholics alike in the first half of the twentieth century. It has since been observed that Barth influenced post-war politics and the Neo-evangelical movement of the modern world. Pope Pius XII is famously quoted saying that Karl Barth is “the greatest theologian since Thomas Aquinas.” Today, we discuss why he is so highly regarded in Christendom at large and why we Bible believers should be leery of his teachings.
