Who closed the canon of the bible?

Answer 1

There is nothing like a "closed canon of The Bible"...In principle the Bible from its day of development has followed the principle of an open canon. This is why it was possible to accommodate all the writer who came later than Moses. The key is, as long as the writer meets the set criteria that the church deem necessary for a given writer's work to be accepted as inspired by God. By way of this argument, I should state that if today the church was to discover the lost works of some of the prophets the Bible makes mention of but whose was long lost, it should add such works to the list that we now have as long as there is ample evidence of the authenticity of the works in question. To believe in a closed Bible canon is to believe in a God who has stopped to communicate and reveal Himself. Besides, it is to forget that God never gave a set limit of the books which were to constitute the Bible.
