Paul was asking for the body of scriptures to be brought when Timothy came. The word translated “books” in this passage is the Greek word biblion where we get our English word “Bible” today. “When you come bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments” (2 Timothy 4:13). I believe Paul is asking Timothy to bring these writings while he is imprisoned in Rome. It is clear from the scriptures that there was a standard set of writings that were accepted as inspired. When we speak of the canon, we mean the accepted writings that are inspired, or God breathed (2 Timothy 3:16).

Before we begin, we need to define some of the words that are used in such a study.

In light of such charges, it is all the more important for us to determine who decided what became scripture and what did not. One of these suppositions is that the church has suppressed certain Bible books and information concerning Jesus. The book declares itself to be a fiction novel, but lays down certain suppositions as though they were facts.

This is certainly true when speaking about The DaVinci Code.

Then, if there is a historical discrepancy or untruth, no one can argue with the material because it has been presented as fiction.

Rather than be required to have any factual evidence, people have begun to write fiction novels, but declare the material to be based on facts. It is interesting to see how people are attempting to put forth their ideas recently.
