Is to ask fundamentalist churches themselves. I think there is a passage in Revelation that says something like "nobody shall add or remove one iota from this work" - it's not clear whether "this work" is John's Revelation or the entire Bible. Ironicly, the canon was in a state of flux until about A.D.300 or so, and the Apochropha was removed for the Protestants during the Reformation. www.sbc.net is the Southern Babtist Convention's official web site. Look at the Bible verses found in the "Scripture" section of their Faith and Message statement (here, http://sbc.net/2000-bf_m.html#scripture). You may find similar statements in other Bible-literalist denominations. -d, david, d_fpc@operamail.com |
