When did the men who formulated the New Testament canon meet?
The men who put the canon of Scripture together and formulated the New Testament met approximately 350 A.D. They assembled under the Holy Spirit's total control, and the resulting order placed Paul's epistles consistently in every available New Testament copy, always in the same order as we have them today.
Les teaches that the men who met approximately 350 A.D. put the canon of Scripture together and formulated our New Testament. He emphasizes that the Holy Spirit was in total control in that process. He also notes that ancient New Testament copies do not always have the same order—the four Gospels may be mixed, and the epistles of Peter and John are not always in the same order—but every one of Paul's epistles is always present in every available copy and always in the same order we have today. This shows God particularly brooded over the Pauline epistles, because they are appropriate for us today.
