There is no direct record of Jesus specifying the canonical books of the New Testament during his lifetime. The formation of the New Testament canon was a process that developed over centuries through the early Church's discussions and decisions.

In the New Testament, Jesus did make claims that could be interpreted as identifying himself with God, such as saying "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30) and accepting worship from his followers (Matthew 14:33). This has led many Christians to believe that Jesus viewed himself as the Son of God and therefore divine in nature.

Was Jesus ever called Joshua?
A:The New Testament was written entirely in Greek, so in the original texts Jesus was only ever known by his Greek name, Iesous. However, a person living in Palestine would have called him by the Aramaic, Joshua, or perhaps more accurately, Yeshua.
Where can you find Old Testament scriptures to prove Jesus is not the Jewish messiah?
A:Perhaps the best proof that Jesus is not the Jewish messiah is that none of the Old Testament scriptures ever refers to Jesus, either by name or in any way that unambiguously identifies him. Christians, from the gospel authors onwards, have sought to link Jesus with various passages in the Hebrew scriptures, but it requires strong faith or willing acceptance to see the parallels. We will not find any Old Testament passages that assert positively that Jesus is not the messiah, simply because the Old Testament was written before Jesus was born; also the notion of a Jewish messiah is largely external to the Old Testament. Of course, if Jesus is the son of God, as Christians assert, then it matters not whether he was the longed-for messiah. However, even this claim must be taken on faith, and faith alone.If you wish to read a Jewish rebuttal for the claim that Jesus is the Messiah, please see the Related Questions linked to below.
What did the Christianity gain from Judeo?
Judaism-believes the Old Testament and that the messiah which the Old Testament fortells has not come. Christianity- believes the Old Testament and the New Testament and that the Messiah which the Old Testament fortells has already come. John 3:16 (in New Testament) "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that who so ever believes in Him shall not parish but have everlasting life. " Jesus Christ is this Son/Messiah, according to the New Testament.
Why does the Protestant Bible not use the extra seven books of the Catholic Bible?
A:At the time the Catholic Bible was established, Christians were unsure which books were considered by the Jews to be inspired. They included all the books of the Septuagint that appeared to be appropriate.The Prostestants soon realised that some of the books in the Catholic Bible were never regarded as scripture by the Jews, and so removed them from their Bibles. The English King James Bible originally included all the Catholic books, but a later edition removed these.Catholic AnswerThe "Catholic Bible" is composed of the Old Testament that was used by the Jews in the first century, in other words, the Bible that Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ used, the Septuagint. This was the Greek translation of the Bible made in Alexander and completed around 148 B.C. At that point Hebrew, as a spoken language was on its way out, and so the majority of Jews spoke Greek. The vast majority of the quotes in the New Testament are directly from this version of the Old Testament Scriptures - about 300 out of the 350 references in the New Testament. Thus Our Blessed Lord used the Septuagint for most of His quotes, and this was the Bible used by the Church continuously from then on. Supposedly, there was a Jewish Council "the Council of Jamnia" around 70 A.D., in which the surviving Pharisees removed the books of the Old Testament which referred to specifically Christian practices. (No one has ever been able to provide any evidence that such a Council ever happened) Even though many modern day Jewish practices are directly from the removed books (for instance Hanukkah refers to the miraculous burning of the candles in the restored Temple in the book of Maccabees). The Christian Church continued to use the entire Old Testament as the Jews who had rejected Jesus had no more authority over the Scriptures, especially as God, Himself (in Jesus) had chosen them. Until Martin Luther came on the scene 1,500 years later and objected to those books of the Old Testament that supported specifically Christian practices - actually, he objected to ALL the books of the Old Testament, but that is another story. He also threw out books from the New Testament, with which he did not agree - the Letter of James is one well known example (he called it an Epistle of straw). The other protestant "reformers" objected to his mutilation of the New Testament and put those back in. Actually, they objected to the mutilation of the Old Testament as well, and put those books in the back of their Bibles, they were only removed hundreds of years later by other protestants.
The Bible is divided into how many parts?
The Bible is divided into two parts, the old testament and the new testament. The old testament is before Jesus Christ, the new testament is after Jesus was born.Additional Comment:The ENTIRE Bible is the Word of God which we are told to live by. The God of the OT was the Word or Spokesman of God who would take on the relationship of Son in the NT and be called Jesus Christ. He is the only God Family member mankind has been dealing with as no one has seen the Father but Jesus came to teach us of His/Our Father in Heaven. At the end of Revelations, God the Father descends and makes His tabernacle with Man (now changed into spirit-born sons & daughtes of God) on Earth forever and ever.

Did wizards ever exist?
Including Jesus Christ? I bet that this sixth sense that God (if he exists) took from us was magic. Then only in books.
