Written as a systematic history of Jesus birth death and resurrection. Luke's Gospel was written so that any reader can be certain of the facts of Jesus life. Luke shows the activity of the Holy Spirit preparing the way for the gospel.
John Oakes taught a two-part Introduction to the Old Testament for a group of new Christians in San Diego May 17 and 24, 2015. The first class serves as a general introduction as well as covering the Book of Genesis. Genesis is studied as a work of Christian theology-setting out the Christian world view and as a source of prophecy, prefigure and foreshadow of the Messiah. The second class finishes an intro to Genesis and covers Exodus to Deuteronomy,emphasizing prefigures and foreshadows in the story of Israel and in the laws, sacrifices, tabernacle and festivals.
"Con respecto a la inspiración y al canon de las Escrituras, tenemos que recordar que no se debe considerar cualquier libro antiguo como inspirado."
Conozcámos entonces qué significa el canon y cuáles son sus principios. El Canon del Antiguo Testamento, el Canon Hebreo, el Canon del Nuevo Testamento y la intervención de la iglesia Católica Romana en su pretención de incluir los libros apócrifos, sin olvidar por supuesto recordar los vestigios de los rollos del mar Muerto (tema pasado).

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

"Unless I am convinced by the testimony from
scripture or by evident reason—for I confide neither
in the Pope nor in a Council alone, since it is
certain they have often erred and contradicted
themselves—I am held fast by the scriptures
adduced by me, and my conscience is held captive
by God‘s Word, and I neither can nor will revoke
anything, seeing it is not safe or right to act
against conscience. God help me. Amen.―
—Martin Luther
Diet of Worms, April 18, 1521

What Is Tradition?
American Heritage Dictionary:
• The passing down of elements of a culture from
generation to generation, especially by oral
communication.
• A mode of thought or behavior followed by a
people continuously from generation to
generation; a custom or usage.
• A body of unwritten religious precepts.
• A time-honored practice or set of such
practices.
12. Authority
Tradition 1: A ―summary‖ of Christian
orthodoxy that has been held by the
universal/catholic Church since its
inception. It is infallible only
because it accurately represents
Scripture. If it does not accurately
represent Scripture, it is not true
Tradition. Therefore, it is subject to
the Scripture. Often referred to as
the regula fidei.
13. Authority
Tradition 2: An infallible unwritten body of material
that contains information beyond that
which is contained in Scripture (e.g.
Marian dogmas, infallibility of the pope).
This Tradition began with the Apostles’
teaching and is passed on through a
succession of bishops. It is only revealed
when issues arise that make it necessary
for a pope or a council to speak
authoritatively from this ―deposit‖ of
information. Often referred to as ―living
Tradition.‖
14. Authority
Regula Fidei
―Rule of Faith‖
This is a Greek phrase used often in the early Church to refer
to the summation of the Christian faith. The regula fidei was
seen as the faith which was held ―always, everywhere, and by
all.‖ It was seen as being inherited and passed on, not through
an avenue of inspired or infallible information distinct from
that of Scripture, but as representative of the essential
doctrinal and moral elements of the faith contained in
Scripture.
15. Authority
Sola Ecclesia: Belief that Tradition, represented
by the magisterial authority of the
Roman Catholic Church, is
infallible and equal to Scripture as
a basis for doctrine; it is the final
authority in all matters of faith
and practice since it must define
and interpret Scripture.
Adherents: Roman Catholics
Tradition: Tradition 2

Catechism of the Catholic Church
81 ―Sacred Scripture is the speech of God as it is put
down in writing under the breath of the Holy
Spirit. And [Holy] Tradition transmits in its entirety
the Word of God which has been entrusted to the
apostles by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit. It
transmits it to the successors of the apostles so that,
enlightened by the Spirit of truth, they may
faithfully preserve, expound and spread it abroad
by their preaching.
18. Authority
Catechism of the Catholic Church
82 As a result, the Church, to whom the
transmission and interpretation of
Revelation is entrusted, ―does not derive her
certainty about all revealed truths from the
holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and
Tradition must be accepted and honored with
equal sentiments of devotion and reverence‖

What makes a teaching infallible?
1. Pope speaking alone concerning matters of
faith or morals (ex cathedra): e.g., papal

2. When the pope and bishops speaking

21. Authority
Prima Scriptura: Belief that the Body of Christ has
two separate sources of
authority for faith and practice:
1) the Scriptures and 2)
Tradition. Scripture is the
primary source for authority,
but by itself it is insufficient for
all matters of faith and practice.
Tradition also contains essential

―Any disjunction between Scripture and Tradition
such as would treat them as two separate ‗sources of

whether they are truly part of the Holy Tradition or
not; (2) that Holy Tradition completes Holy
Scriptures in the sense that it safeguards the

―Regarding the relation of Scripture and Tradition, for
centuries there seemed to have been a deep difference
between Orthodox and Lutheran teaching. Orthodox
hear with satisfaction the affirmation of the Lutheran
theologians that the formula sola Scriptura was always
intended to point to God‘s revelation, God‘s saving act
through Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, and
therefore to the holy Tradition of the Church . . . against
human traditions that darken the authentic teaching
in the Church.‖
