Welcome to the Faith Chapel podcast, hosted by Pastor Jason. In this first episode of Season 2, we delve into the importance of accepting the Bible as a guiding authority in our lives. Discover why trusting in the Scriptures can help us know God better, and how it informs our understanding of contemporary societal issues.

Through biblical narratives and the teachings of Jesus, we explore the reliability of the Scriptures and what it means to have faith rooted in historical testimony, not just blind belief. We also examine the intricate design of nature as a testament to God's existence and how divine revelation plays a crucial role in guiding us.

Join us as we address critical questions about the legitimacy of the Bible's authority and prepare to discuss its impact on life, love, hope, and political leadership in upcoming episodes. Dive deeper with us into the intersection of faith and modern living.

Welcome to the final episode of season one of the Faith Chapel podcast, hosted by Pastor Jason. As we conclude this season, we delve into the fascinating history of how the New Testament of the Bible was formed and why certain books were included in its canon.

In this episode, we explore the concept of the 'canon' and discuss why some texts were deemed authoritative revelations from God while others were not. We examine historical figures and contentious writings like Marcion, the Gospel of Thomas, and the Didache, providing a deeper understanding of the meticulous process early Christians used to preserve the integrity of the scriptures.

Join us as we unravel the stringent criteria used by early church fathers to validate the books of the New Testament. We also discuss the challenges they faced, the rigorous selection process, and how their dedication has impacted what we understand as divinely inspired scripture today.

Welcome to this episode of Faith Chapel podcast, hosted by Pastor Jason. In this session, we delve into the dating of New Testament books, focusing on the early Christian views of Jesus's divinity, His crucifixion, and resurrection. The evidence suggests that these core beliefs were established within decades of Jesus's life, challenging modern skepticism about the evolution of Christian doctrine.

We analyze the gospel of Mark and the letter to the Galatians, exploring their historical contexts and evaluating scholarly debates on authorship and dates of composition. These investigations aim to reaffirm the early Christians' perception of Jesus and the solid foundation of the New Testament scriptures they trusted.

Pastor Jason addresses controversies like Bart Ehrman's perspective on Jesus's divinity, providing evidence from the earliest Christian documents to confront the claim that the portrayal of Jesus as God emerged as a legend. This episode, filled with thoughtful discussions, offers a robust defense of the traditional understanding of biblical narratives.

Join us as we continue to explore the profound impact of the New Testament's historical development on modern faith, leading into our next topic: the canonization process of the New Testament.
