As usual highly out of context. What I thought to be true is.
For any lurkers research the bible, learn how it really came to be.
Which Came First: The Church or the New Testament?
By Fr. James Bernstein
The second big surprise came when I realized that the first complete listing of New Testament books as we have them today did not appear until over 300 years after the death and resurrection of Christ.....During the first four centuries A.D. there was substantial disagreement over which books should be included in the canon of Scripture....Another debate arose over the issue of whether there should be separate gospels or one single composite gospel account. In the second century, Tatian, who was Justin Martyr's student, published a single composite "harmonized" gospel called theDiatessaron. The Syrian Church used this composite gospel in the second, third, and fourth centuries; they did not accept all four Gospels until the fifth century. They also ignored for a time the Epistles of John, 2 Peter, and the Book of Revelation.....My favorite New Testament book, the Epistle to the Hebrews, was clearly excluded in the Western Church in a number of listings from the second, third, and fourth centuries. Primarily due to the influence of Augustine upon certain North African councils, the Epistle to the Hebrews was finally accepted in the West by the end of the fourth century. On the other hand, the Book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse, written by the Apostle John, was not accepted in the Eastern Church for several centuries.
WHO DECIDED?
With the passage of time the Church discerned which writings were truly apostolic and which were not. It was a prolonged struggle , taking place over several centuries. As part of the process of discernment, the Church met together several times in council. These various Church councils confronted a variety of issues, among which was the canon of Scripture. It is important to note that the purpose of these councils was to discern and confirm what was already generally accepted within the Church at large. The councils did not legislate the canon so much as set forth what had become self-evident truth and practice within the churches of God. The councils sought to proclaim the common mind of the Church and to reflect the unanimity of faith, practice, and tradition as it already existed in the local churches represented. The councils provide us with specific records in which the Church spoke clearly and in unison as to what constitutes Scripture. Among the many councils that met during the first four centuries, two are particularly important in this context:
(1) The Council of Laodicea met in Asia Minor about A.D. 363. This is the first council which clearly listed the canonical books of the present Old and New Testaments, with the exception of the Apocalypse of Saint John. The Laodicean council stated that only the canonical books it listed should be read in church. Its decisions were widely accepted in the Eastern Church.
(2) The third Council of Carthage met in North Africa about A.D. 397. This council, attended by Augustine, provided a full list of the canonical books of both the Old and New Testaments. The twenty-seven books of the present-day New Testament were accepted as canonical. The council also held that these books should be read in the church as Divine Scripture to the exclusion of all others. This Council was widely accepted as authoritative in the West.

BluesBrother..
Either he is totally Internet -ignorant or he is deliberately misleading his brothers by passing this off as an informed belief.
I think you are right on both counts. Yes he did say this is what he read on the internet. But because he is a CO, everyone takes it as gospel.
I argued it to my wife as, yes he is a person but he is held to a higher standard because of his position, and it should not be wrong to tell them when they are wrong, but we all here know how that would go over.

That sounds cool Brizzy. I helped out in a show when a releative when went to Bethel, we had several songs, not one of them a kingdom maladey.
Why must there always be someone who has to sing the same songs we endure 6 times a week?

Witnesses "can't take the heat"
by Olin Moyles Ghost inhave you ever heard a witness say something like "why do apostates have to keep talking about the wts/jw faith?
why don't they just go on with their lives?
if they've found something better, why don't they just focus on that instead of us?

Excellent point Serenity....this is how feel. It has formed who I am for good and bad, it has affected everything about my life, from my friends, my education, my marriage, even when I choose to have children, to how my family treats me now.
So yes, I am going to talk about it.
