New Testament Books had to meet the following criteria:And did the holy spirit direct the roman politions who decided which book went into the bible?
Cause there were about a dozen more gospels that early christians considered scriptue that didnt make the cut.
I think the decisions weremade based on politics more than gods will.
The difference? These pagan religions faded out of existence.......while Christianity is eternal as a kingdom without end. Christianity was prophesied 1500 years before it came into existence in the 1st century. (Jer. 31:31-34)Mass delusion due to religion is common throughout all of human history. Worshippers of Zeus and Vishnu were/are as faithful as any who follow one of the countless Abrahamic religions.
All the dead religions felt similarly about their own fabricated beliefs. If it comforts you, continue believing your stories. Just don't force your nonsense on the rest of us.The difference? These pagan religions faded out of existence.......while Christianity is eternal as a kingdom without end.
How does belief tie in with comfort? Comfort from what?If it comforts you, continue believing
The religion that came out of Rome did not have Jesus. They let a pagan false god worshipping king run the councils=Constantine, who refused to accept Jesus until on his death bed.New Testament Books had to meet the following criteria:
1) apostolic origin (first century origin)
2) theological correctness (unbroken succession)
3) authority of the church leaders
4) widespread appropriation of the churches (Testimony of the Ancients)
Yeah..........someone forced you to post. LMAOAll the dead religions felt similarly about their own fabricated beliefs. If it comforts you, continue believing your stories. Just don't force your nonsense on the rest of us.
Just like most atheists you are not happy unless you are sticking your nose up someone else's keyster to sniff around.
I understand you favor the religion that came out of Pittsburgh in the late nineteenth century through the auspices of one man.The religion that came out of Rome did not have Jesus.

Truth exposes false religion, not anger. I post 8 teachings from Jesus in every sight like this that shows who is who. Every trinitarian rejects them even though they are in every translation on earth. Why?I understand you favor the religion that came out of Pittsburgh in the late nineteenth century through the auspices of one man.
In the fourth century, over 450 bishops from all over the Christian world, met in Rome to formalize Canon then in use all throughout the Christian world. I already listed the criteria they set forth. You prefer your founder's interpretation formed over 1500 years later. The Mormon Church had done the same thing several decades earlier, so clearly the 1800s were a time people took an interest in religion. Keep in mind, however, the majority remained with interpretations handed down by twelve Apostles, confirmed by over 450 bishops in the fourth century who were using those writings and those interpretation (and had been in use in their communities for over four hundred years).
Love of Christ and his teachings is, and has always been, the Christian foundation. Actually, Constantine embraced Jesus at the battle where he saw the cross. The reason he put off baptism was his great belief that one baptism resulted in the forgiveness of all sins. That was his understanding, and he wished to come face-to-face Jesus with all his sins washed away and forgiven.
kjw47, if your faith is drawing you closer to God, then all is well. However, your posts give the impression your faith simply makes you angry with people of other denominations--and what you look forward to is war and destruction, not Christ's peace.

No, they rejecteseveral popular book, especialy those that didn't meet th religious and political views of the roman leadership.Actually they added more books. But those who read them saw they were not in harmony with the 66 books. God used the wicked in the OT and the Romans to wipe out many of the apostocised Israelites. He surely can keep his bible in tact. The teachings of Jesus are the same. Its those teachings that expose 99% of all religions claiming to be christian as false ones. Few know what he actually teaches.
We dont actually know what Jesus spoke of because the gospels were written over 100 years after his death. The writers had never met him.1. Jesus spoke of the Father
2. Jesus spoke of himself
3. Jesus spoke of the Holy Spirit
All united. Trinity. Not a word Jesus used, but a word that, in time, became the summary of what he spoke.
Unless you reject the three above points, you understand Trinity. And, it is nothing to launch a fight over. Peace.
The New Testament books were written less than a hundred years after his death. Most set his death in the mid 30s of the first century; the last books were written right around the year 100.We dont actually know what Jesus spoke of because the gospels were written over 100 years after his death. The writers had never met him.
Who is Virginia?Virginia, some people make evil a deliberate choice.

The only translating that remained was catholicism translating when any body else translated. They did not fix the errors.No, they rejecteseveral popular book, especialy those that didn't meet th religious and political views of the roman leadership.
Many churches broke off from rome as a result and refused to recognize their version of the bible. The Gnostic Church for example, had a completely different version. The Eastern Orthadox and Greek Churches have several different books that Rome rejected.
It is never good to reshuffle what Jesus said so that it can be reinterpreted to suit another purpose. In doing so, one adds and subtracts from that which was originally set forth--something scripture warns is not good to do.Yes unified in doing the Fathers will.
Jesus gave everyone 2 warnings-- One is at John 15:20-21--- He said---That on account of his name( thinking they serve him) will do things against the true followers--Why-Because they do not know the one who sent him=Father( John 5:30)--At John 17:3--Jesus teaches--To get eternal life one must know the one who sent him( Father) and know Jesus. He calls the one who sent him THE ONLY TRUE GOD.
At John 4:22-24--another warning--He warns all about the god they are serving, then tells all the Fathers will--please read it. A true followers heart tells their mind to do just that 24/7--365.
Again at Matthew 7:21--Jesus assures--only those living now to do his Fathers will get to enter his kingdom( be saved)--- BELIEVE JESUS.

I look at the Trinity like this.So they are two separate entities then? Which would make sense regarding prayer. I'm not sure. I'm not very religious.

Very well, as a matter of fact. Context matters, and it matters a lot. As do language, history, and culture. When you start with 1870 in Pittsburgh, much of that is left behind.I guess you cant understand english.
