Canonization of the Bible The process by which the English Bible, as it is known to the English culture today, was compiled is an extraordinary thing to see.

Lamb stood firm and defended God by looking thoroughly at scriptures that covered the “negative characteristics…
or standard against which the sacred text are weighed for inclusion. It should be noted that different faith systems have different canonical books. The Jewish canon is different from the Protestant as is the Catholic. If we bear in mind that the Bible we know today did not start out as a book at all, and then the logical progression must be to ask, how did it come about? An important note bears to be inserted.

which is offensive to God. Sin is found in individuals, tribes and nations in the Old Testament. Sin originated from the failure of Adam and Eve in obeying gods instruction of not eating from the tree in the middle of the garden Gen.3-3 “you must not eat from the tree in the middle”. By doing this man had the knowledge of good and evil and thus sin was introduced into the world. Sin is seen in almost all part of the Bible.
