Right.
And how they relate, in regards to the ones they allowed us to be left with.
I believe in God, I Know Jesus is the Son & died so that we may live - but I am very skeptical of the translations we have been left with, & I absolutely abhor & distrust organized religion.
Look into, & this is actually the way this church has named itself, with the fucking parentheses & All, Church of God (Holiness), & you may understand why.
I've never met a mfer on this Earth that is holy - but these mfers declare it in their Name, & they're actually a Cult.
They left them out cause there in contradiction with ones they kept unfortunately. They promote ideas that lead one to look more in the mystical and make one ask metaphorical questions when looking towards answers and asking questions in regards to the Creator. Constantine at the time of the council of nicea seemed to believe Christianity was confusing and needed a straight forward doctrine that could help control the masses much like the previous ideology did. It's highly possibly all those writings which we consider scripture where notes compiled of various more complete scripture that had been preserved from being destroyed, the originals being burnt.
Not credible. The Dead Sea Scrolls were written well before the Council of Nicea, and have been available as a reference for the Old Testament books. The Apocrypha are generally available, but not accepted as canon. The definitive doctrine of the Christian church was sealed in the New Testament.
Do we know they were written before? If so, how?
Carbon dating? That schmidt has been proven flawed many times, over decades.
The Apocrypha is not accepted as canon BC of the Council of Nicea, so "sealed" by whom? Constantine?
My uncle was a preacher & he used to give me these kind of circular logic answers, always ending with, You just have to have Faith, sometimes interchangeable with Believe.
I'm not criticizing your faith or starting an argument, but there are So Many cliches that people in the church use, & they use them without any thought whatsoever - in the exact same way lefties always employ theirs. Again, not condemning you, personally, I don't know you, but I've heard them all.
Example: it was just so filled with the Spirit, God came Down & He was there in that church with us!
Me, nonplussed: so where was He all the Other times you were there, then? Was He not there, until This time?
Confused look, startled, confused look - Panic: oh, no, no, that's not, um..
Me, finally: I know what you meant, but you all say the Same things, the same Way, you don't even listen to what you're saying, it's all just catchphrases, by rote, at this point.
Dead Sea Scrolls: You ask the people who dated them. They are consistent with other copies of the Old Testament. The point is, they were written before the Council of Nicea even met. And there is no evidence that the Council ever re-wrote any of the books of the Bible.
The Apocrypha are not part of the New Testament. It is the New Testament that seals the meaning of Christianity. What difference does it make to you whether they are canon or not? You are not prevented from reading and believing them.
I'm not your uncle. I'm not a cliche person. Kindly do not paint me with that brush.
I haven't used any catchphrases and you have only diddled around a matter of fact.
Your belief in the corruption of the Bible is as inexplicable than your uncle's faith.
Most of the are dubious authenticity, or gnostic.
You can read the early church father's if you are curious about the original faith handed down by the Apostles. Irenaeus for example was the student of Polycarp, who was the student of John the Theologian and Apostle.
Well aware, don't mean to offend anyone's faith but I question everything. The theory that those, dead sea scrolls are what remains of some very important books that were destroyed possibly in the burning of the library of Alexandria.
