Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24607926 The Nazarenes were the original Christians. The Roman Church hijacked the faith and corrupted it. - "The Nazarene sect used in the Book of Acts clearly referred to both Jewish and Gentile followers of Jesus' Apostles ... they accepted the virgin birth of Jesus. The Nazarenes were originally Jewish converts of the Apostles who fled Jerusalem because of Jesus' warning of its coming siege. They fled to Pella, Peraea (which is northeast of Jerusalem), and eventually spread outwards to Beroea and Bashanitis, where they permanently settled." [link to en.wikipedia.org] Yet, all Christian denominations use the canon as complied by the Council of Nicaea. It has been recompiled a number of times after that but nonetheless, the canon as compiled by the Council of Nicaea under Constantine s reign is still being used YTD. Meaningless. The books of the Bible were accepted and in use before Nicea. The council was only Rome accepting or becoming Christian / Catholic. - 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.

I find scientists (in colleges and in the workplace), hardened, they know it all, their way or the highway, don't mix science FACTs with any theories, even though science is still theories and all is not known in science.

The bible is historic fact and eyewitness accounts for the most of it and yes God dit tell them what to write. Stop ignoring the facts for your own sake. Can we start talking about the points in my original post you digress? Just to confirm God is alive and talking to Christians now the Bible is just a helpful guide and an historical document. Get with the program The existence of the Bible is historic fact, the content for the most part isn't. The Bible is a historical book but not a history book. Most of my posts in this thread does relate to your OP. You try to differentiate Christianity from Catholicity but you can't. Christianity is generic term which represents thousands of denominations, and Catholicism is one of them. The most hilarious part of your OP is the statement that Catholic priests rape and molests little children. They don't do that because their denomination allows them to. They do that because they are f***ed in the head, just like many other religious people from other denominations are f***ed in the head. Last Edited by Psych on 09/29/2012 08:18 AM |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1018225 Those early Christians who knew what it was all about were indoctrinated into the unified church after Constantine. All of the Christian churches were unified and the official Bible was assembled. It has the same books today as it had then. No they were not. The roman catholic church has always persecuted Biblical Christians. When the crusaders took Jerusalem the first time they killed Jews Muslims and Christians alike. The Spanish inquisition was about killing people who owned bibles. Research your church. And remember Matthew 7:16 By their fruit you will recognize them There were no biblical Christians before the Catholic church. There was no Bible before the Catholic church assembled it. There were few christian religious manuscripts and the original Christians spread the word through word of mouth. Untrue again. Where did the counsel of Nicaea get the books if they were so few? You need to pray and read about it. Also When the crusaders took Jerusalem the first time they killed Jews Muslims and Christians alike. The Spanish inquisition was about killing people who owned bibles. You make me laugh, How much peoples do you think owned a bible in those time????? 15, 20 and all scholars. The first bible edition was 15 book in latin in 1475 and 1,500 books in German in 1483. Before that nobody have one. And , by the way educate yourself [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

By the way Bible comes from the word Bblia which means library and a library contains many books. Stop defending the lie start searching for the truth believe one day you will wish that you have. Roald Dahl who was the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory might have been inspired by a chocolate bar. Doesn't mean the chocolate bar was whispering what Roald Dahl should write. The same applies to being inspired by the notion of a holy spirit. It doesn't mean that God was whispering what the authors should write. What you write is fiction. The bible is historic fact and eyewitness accounts for the most of it and yes God dit tell them what to write. Stop ignoring the facts for your own sake.

Like the Amish parson in Ohio teaching his congregations wives how to have orgasms while they live with him and cutting the beard off of any member who refuses to allow their wife to do so. This link does not contain the testimony heard at the trial for the reason the Parson considered the victims off the path, but it is a good starting point if you are curious.
