Why did the Early Church Accept the Four NT Gospels and Reject the Gnostic Gospels?
by Christ Alone in
1. watchtower
2. bible
this has been a subject that has been explored by many secular scholars today.

bart ehrman is one of them.

the divinci code had this to say about why the gospels were chosen:.

I have read this twice now, and I simply do not see that a convincing case has been made that the "early church" - (whatever that is) - rejected the gnostic writings.

I don't know - would the dead marines who raised the American flag on Mt. Suribashi take offense at the famous photos and the statue of it being widely distributed?
There is something of a religious sense of ironic justice that the implement of death was transformed into a religious symbol of hope which became extremely powerful in later history.
This, of course, supposes that the story is historically real - an assumption for which there could be serious doubt.

I had a ZR-1 Corvette and a Z06 Corvette when I joined this site.
I now have a Ferrari and a Rolls-Royce.
The many Communists here have persuaded me not to buy any more American cars.
I did keep the Porsche 911 which I have had the whole time.
