1. Do I even need to care that the CC said the gospels were inspired. Like I said before Luther and others had said this and were not catholics

Luther got his Biblical canon from the CC…

“Restoration Fellowship was founded by Sir Anthony Buzzard, Bt., MA (Oxon.) MA Th. in 1981. The subject matter of our literature is not new and has been held by small groups of believers throughout the centuries, notably by some Anabaptists and the Church of God General Conference whose headquarters and college, Atlanta Bible College, are located in McDonough, GA, USA.” Fellowship Restoration.

What about the first-century Apostolic Church’s? Uh-oh that limb is getting thinner. Early Church Fathers? Do the “small groups of believers” have any documented first century…anything?

:sad_yes::sad_yes::sad_yes: Sadly…another product of the belief in Sola Scriptura…more confusion…more conflicting beliefs…

Why would you care or believe what anyone believes for that matter? One very good reason is because the Church has remained since Christ, historically and in reality.

Luther believed Christ is God. Catholic monk. Did you ever read what the Church believes?

1. 1 Corinth 15 is a historical account.

No, YiiNaa. What you are proposing is circular: "I know that Corinthians is inspired because it talks about the Resurrection, and I know the Resurrection is true because it’s in Corinthians.

That cannot be the criterion for telling you something is inspired.

Also, how do you know that the Gospel of Mark is inspired but not the Gospel of Barnabas?

And how do you know the 3 John is inspired? Did you know that it doesn’t even mention Jesus?!!

1. Growing up as anglican, I would naturally believe that the gospel is inspired.

Right. And the Anglicans defer to the authority of the CC to tell them what is inspired and what is not.

1. Do I even need to care that the CC said the gospels were inspired

If you are honest, and a person of integrity, you would give credit to the CC for this and acknowledge that you submit to her authority each and every time you quote from the NT.

Like I said before Luther and others had said this and were not catholics

And the ONLY way they knew that the NT canon is the Word of God is because they trust the authority of the CC.
