Ask the Pastor: Uriah, Micah, and the canon
- Why don't I have Uriah's prophecies in my 66 books when I have Micah's?
- How do I know I have everything we're supposed to have in the Bible?
Boova's Ask the Pastor: Jeremiah 26 names both Micah and Uriah son of Shemaiah as prophesying like Jeremiah, yet only Micah's words are in the 66 books. Ben argues Uriah's message is largely preserved in Jeremiah, cites the lost books scripture itself names (Wars of the Lord, annals of the kings), and defends trusting the Spirit-led canon; Dan adds that God spoke through prophets while the New Testament was being written, and cites Dead Sea Scrolls manuscript evidence.
