What are the biblical arguments that the Bible canon is NOT closed?
Upvote:4
The main argument is an argument from silence. This can take two forms:
There is no list of books of the Bible anywhere in Scripture.
Scripture nowhere prohibits people from adding books to the canon.
Another argument says that a closed canon can lead to bibliolatry (elevating Scripture above God).
You can see such arguments made here and here.
Proponents of an open canon could also argue that the very idea of a "canon" is foreign to Scripture.
In theory, they could use the same arguments that continuationists use. But there is generally little overlap between the two groups.
