What Is the Canon and Why Is It Closed?
Canon is a Greek word meaning "measuring stick". When theologians refer to the Bible as "the canon" they mean that the commonly accepted books of the Bible are used as a measuring stick to judge all other texts. If any prophecy or religious text doesn't measure up to the Bible, meaning it contradicts the Bible, then it should be rejected.
We say that the Bible is a "closed canon" because, like any other measuring stick, if we keep changing it, nobody will have an objective standard they can use to evaluate extra-biblical works. In this video, I'm going to tell you why a having a closed canon is a very good thing.
