Bible formulated
How was the Bible formulated? A group of custodians were
appointed (Deu 17:18; 31:9,24-26). Other books were in turn "laid up before the
Lord" (1Sa 10:25; 2Ch 23:11). Later prophets quoted earlier ones as inspired
(Jer 26:18; Dan 9:2) -- as did the apostles (1Ti 5:18; 2Pe 3:16). In NT times
there were Spirit-guided witnesses to inspiration (1Co 12:10: "distinguishing
between spirits"; 1Co 14:37; 1Th 5:19-21; 1Jo 4:1) (GT 160-164).
