Zone1 Should The Christian Bible Be Called "The Book of Opinions?"

[Dante]

NOTE: oops. I hit the wrong button. Not finished writing

I am serious in asking "Should The Christian Bible Be Called "The Book of Opinions?""

I do know that the "Books" in the Bible were selected out of a larger group of books. The Synods ruled what was in and what was out.

One quote: "During the fourth century, several church synods, such as the Councils of Rome (382), Hippo (393), and Carthage (397), accepted all 27 books of the New Testament as canonical."

We have this:

The Deuterocanonical Books

Some of the Books tell different versions of a story, whereas some Books tell a story not in other Books. Is that not "opinion?"

Some self-appointed authorities got to decide. Often by brute force anathematizing or killing off those who challenged them.

 

[pknopp]

Call it whatever you want. Why do you think anyone cares what you call it?

 

[Dante]

You are never very bright or on topic

Call it whatever you want. Why do you think anyone cares what you call it?

If you don't want your questions actually answered, don't ask them.

It’s a book a testimony..

Testimony to the truth.

 

[IM2]

No.

 

[Blackrook]

In modern day four newspapers send four reporters to cover the same event and you'll get four versions of the story. That doesn't mean the story isn't true.

Testimony? what does that actually mean?

and? Would it be their opinions of what transpired?

 

[Blackrook]

The Bible stories were written by men but the Church declared them to be "divinely inspired" while they wrote.

Does that answer your question??

 

[Dante]

Does that answer your question??

The Christian Church, the Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Church, the Protestant Church(s)?

If a Church declares something does it make the things factually true?

 

[theHawk]

Testimony? what does that actually mean?

It means testifying to what you witness….

 

[Blackrook]

The Christian Church, the Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Church, the Protestant Church(s)?

If a Church declares something does it make the things factually true?

If it's the Catholic Church, yes. The Catholic Church decided which books went into the Bible. That's why we can rely on it.

Religion is made by people for people.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Some of the Books tell different versions of a story, whereas some Books tell a story not in other Books. Is that not "opinion?"

That would be omission, not opinion.
They couldn't put all the books into one giant book. It would be too heavy to lift. A group of men asked for God's help in choosing what should go in, and which books to leave out. And God intervened on their behalf.

If a Church declares something does it make the things factually true?

No, it does not.

 

[Dante]

"Witness?" Used as a metaphor?

 

[Dante]

If it's the Catholic Church, yes. The Catholic Church decided which books went into the Bible. That's why we can rely on it.

Uhm, nope. Do you often skip over everything you're responding to? When did the Roman Catholic Church come into existence as separate from other Christian denominations/churches?
