That book was never in the accepted inspired writings. The Nazarene Christians already had the inspired writings before the Roman Church and councils.

Even the non-believers record Jesus' death upon the cross at the hands of Pilate.

History does not support your claims.

[face=Tahoma]The Council of Nicaea met in 325 A.D, assembled at the command of the Roman Emperor Constantine, and met to address the heresies of a man whose name was Arius.

The Council of Nicaea did not actually make the original decision about which books were to be part of the Bible. What the councils did do was not so much decide, as agree with what had already been decided and was already in practice in the churches all over the world.

The Roman Catholic Church would have you believe that all local churches and congregations were in chaos having all sorts of books in their churches and considering them as scripture, being deceived until  in 325 A.D. the Catholic Church finally gets it right comes in and restores order.

The Catholic Church was not even around, and early Nazarene Christianity was flourishing. It was flourishing so much that in dozens of places in the Roman Empire, Christians were building underground cities called catacombs - in order to survive the persecutions that Satan was inspiring and directing through the Roman Emperors.

Remember at the time of the Council of Nicaea that the Roman Catholic Church Hierarchy did not yet exist. It did not have that little piece of real estate in the Vatican until after 325 A.D. It was after the Council of Nicaea that the Emperor set up the Catholic Church.

But the Roman Emperor Constantine who worshipped the Sun God knew that he was having trouble gaining legitimacy amongst Christians. He craved this and sought out Eusebius to see how to make this happen. Eusebius suggested a council of all of the independent Christian churches within the Roman Empire, and Constantine agreed.

1) the church council did not "decide" the Canon of the Bible, they rather AFFIRMED/CONFIRMED the Canon.

2) the books known as the Apocrypha were not accepted as part of Scripture.

3) the history of the Catholic Church is that the longer she continues, the greater her heresies become. She continues to accumulate untruth as time progresses. The more that the Catholic Church continues in time, the greater her reliance on apocryphal books. It had to be that way, because the 66 books of the regular and true Bible in no way justified the doctrines that the Catholic Church was teaching.

4) for this reason, the Roman Catholic Church has tried to uphold the supposed Canonicity of the Apocrypha. They did not succeed in doing this until the Council of Trent, when they finally came out and said that the books of the Apocrypha would be treated as Holy Scripture itself. That was a departure from the historical books of the Bible, and a departure from history, and a departure from treating the apocryphal books as not being part of the Canon of Scripture. In other words, 1500 years after Jesus died (and rose again), the Roman Catholic Church decided to change which books should be included in the Bible.

Original Message The Bible was written by man. God was created in man's image and not the other way around. it is a tool that is being used to enslave your mind. and in doing so enslave society. to blindly put all your faith and believe in something that was written and then re-written, torn apart and edited by "the church" and then called a new testament. if this so called "word of god" was really written by an almighty super being shouldn't it have been left alone in its purest form?
There were parts of the bible that got taken out by the catholic church many years ago.... who has the right to say what goes in and what goes out.... why did they decide these no longer were "bible-worthy" its because this book is the only source of their power. and influence around the world.

We are more than what this book tells us we are. we have the power to do anything we set our minds to. our mind is god in a way. people figured that out long ago. and have used bible and god to hold power over and influence.

in my opinion organized religion has been the downfall of society. it has brought on nothing but predjudice, bigotry, hatred, not to mention sprouted countless wars. all in the name of "God" who has many alias's
and comes in many flavors.
Man created religion because we were stupid and didnt know anything about how the universe works we had questions that needed answers and the answer then was god. we know better now. wake up sheeple. its not too late.
