I am not Catholic, so WHY ON EARTH would I trust their biblical cannon?
Within the early Catholic church there existed debates on what writings should and should not be included into the cannon. As well, debates existed on who Jesus was and was not.
Personally believing that the Catholic “fathers” were far from being true Christians led by the Holy Spirit, I question their cannon.
One of the books that calls out to me the most as being false is the The Gospel of John. I do not believe that it could have been written by a person under the Holy Spirit.
Knowing how pagan minded the Catholic “fathers” were, why would I trust their cannon?
Why not question and investigate the books they selected?….the cannon Christians consider the “word of God”.
Hi Jodi,
The Apocrypha was removed from our biblical canon.
What do you have against the Gospel according to John?God bless

I am talking about the bible itself.The books in the bible were chosen to be there by people IMO who were completely unfit, not men of the Holy Spirit. Why would anyone just assume that their work was correct?
The book of John for several reasons I do not believe belongs. One reason is that it has Jesus dying on a different day and that he does not keep and eat the Passover meal. As well, the whole eating of his flesh and drinking his blood, is just totally pagan, and was a practice of Roman cult groups at that time. When the book of John was first being circulated many Jews that believed in Jesus did not accept the book of John as well as Catholics who were deemed “heretics”.
The book of John makes Jesus out to be a god, it makes him fit in with the pagan gods on many accounts, including his virgin birth.
Hi Jodi,
So you don't believe the Gospel according to John is a part of God's inspired word?
Is there any other parts of the bible you judge unworthy to be God's word?God bless

Hi Ed J,I am not sure yet, I have not gotten that far. I am tired of believing in things based on what I was told. Just knowing that the Catholic Church decided according to their authority what books would be in the New Testament, draws me into investigation.
I am invested in Paul's writings as being true and inspired, I can say that much!
Hi Jodi,
Is there any other books of the bible you would leave out?
Also, is there any books that you would include as canon?God bless

http://www.holycitybiblecode.orgHi Jodi,
Sorry, I posted my last post before reading your last post (4 minutes earlier than mine).
I take it from your last post, that you do not have an answer as of yet; is this true?God bless
Ed J (Joshua 22:34)
http://www.holycitybiblecode.orgNo I haven't yet. It just sucks that the inspired words do not come in a perfect package, where you know who the authors were, when exactly each book was written and that it was an ORIGINALLY writing you were reading!!
Hi Jodi, they being Roman Catholicism.
The way I understand things, is that they had the Apocrypha books, and the
deuterocanonical books; all of which were later removed by the Church of England.
It was under the Crown, that Authorized the King James Bible in 1603 by King James I.A brief history
After the 10 Northern tribes separated from the 2 Southern tribes (Judah and Benjamin), by YHVH's orders.
The crown was taken over the Caucuses mountains, and was first settled in Europe in Scotland (Berkshire I think).
Later the crown moved to England, where the “United Kingdom” has been ruling from ever since. Brittan is considered Ephraim,
and the “United States” is considered Manasseh. Ephraim and Manasseh were the two sons of Joesph, where Jacob's blessings went.God bless

Psalm 12:6-7 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them (in the AKJV Bible) from this generation for ever.
Isaiah 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue(that is English) will he speak to this people.1Cor.14:27 (AKJV) If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two(Hebrew, Aramaic),
or at the most by three(Greek), and that by course; [and let one (“AKJV Bible”) translate].The “AKJV Bible” we have today was no accident, it's exactly the way GOD wanted it!
God bless

http://www.holycitybiblecode.org“The words of the Lord”…..as defined by the Catholic cannon?…over my dead body!!
The New Testament is the product of what the Catholics chose as to what were the actual words of the Lord, and there existed disputes amongst them, not to mention within other Christian groups, not to long after Christ died, and the writings were first circulating.
The bible today is a mess, it has not been preserved, there are no original writings, we are reading copies, translations, mistranslations and additions made to the text to better fit doctrine.
This is not how YHVH would want it, but it is how He allowed things to transpire.
Hey Nick,
My bad, I just saw this thread! The New Testament Canon, Who decides? I should have just commented on there. Planning on reading through it….hopefully soon, if time will allow!

It doesn't matter which version it is, it is God's word.” And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come”.
Fullfilled.
God has protected it and sent it around the world in fullfillment of prophecy as a witness to all the nations. I trust every bit of the Bible. Why doubt? Trust it!
