THE_FIRST_COUNCIL_OF_NICEA.jpg
1MB, 800x1038px
Let me preface this by saying I am, indeed, a Christian and have been for several years. Before that, I was raised in a Christian household and am apart of a long line of believers. Take that as you will.

So, recently, I've developed a deep interest in extrabiblical and deuterocanonical texts. The Gospel of Thomas, the Wisdom of Solomon, the Didache, etc. Mostly, how these books were rejected (and others were not) as part of what is Biblical canon.

Christians traditionally hold that men, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, wrote the texts of the Bible (consisting of historical documents, personal journals of prophecy and life experiences, poetry, letters, etc) and that it was at the 4th century Council of Nicea where they, allegedly under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, compiled the 66 "books" that span from a period of millennia into what we know as the Bible today.

Some books were an obvious inclusion; the books of Moses, no question. The major prophets, same story. Then, it gets tricky. The Psalms, the biggest book in the Bible, probably had to be compiled as a separate project, too, right? I mean, there are more than 100 chapters/psalms/writings in that book itself. David is attributed to a lot of them, but what about the rest? How'd they make it into the Psalms? Then, on a wider scale, what about the rest of the minor prophetic books? Which Gospels? Which letters of Paul? Why on earth 2 and 3 John which are so short and seemingly very, very inconsequential? Why the Revelation of John and not Peter, whom the church was "build upon?"

I guess I have a few questions I'd like to discuss.

>What were the criteria for including a book in Biblical canon?
>Where did this idea of infallibility of this particular compilation originate?
>Why do we/the church/etc not add new books periodically? Either upon discovery or new revelation? Why is biblical canon "closed?"

Just interested in a discussion.

Nicaea did not adress canon in any way. Stop listening to muslims
The first ecumenical council to declare a council was the council of Trent, which included the apocryphal deuterocanon. The Eastern Orthodox still do not require acceptance of the deuterocanon, and Christians reject the deuterocanon as canon, and rightly so.

You moron.

The Eastern Orthodox takes the Deuterocanon as Scripture

Same with everyone else during the time of Nicaea, before and after. The only difference was how much of it is scripture.

Some even disregard as canonical some of the NT books as the Peshitta shows

If any, all this really shows is Protestants going "muh Appcrypha isn't Biblical" aren't even knowledgable of history or outright alter it

In reality, rejection of the Apocrypha as scripture skyrocketed prior to the Reformation. Even Cardinal Cajetan, who tried Luther for heresy, rejected the deuterocanon. Trent declared it canon in response to Protestants rejecting it.

Stop lying to yourself

In fact before Nicaea, some non canonical books are even Scripture to some fathers. Like Irenaeus on Hermas.

The fact that one can find plenty of fathers citing books of the deuterocanon as Scripture is evident that it is canonical to varying degrees. This also ends up being the reason why the various Orthodox churches EO and OO don't even have the same canon.

In reality, Church Fathers all unanimously accepted the Deuterocanon

Even Athanasius who is cited as didn't cites them as Scripture

Stay mad loser

Let us see now if in these cases we are not forced to the conclusion, that while the Saviour gives a true account of them, none of the Scriptures which could prove what He tells are to be found. For they who build the tombs of the prophets and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, condemning the crimes their fathers committed against the righteous and the prophets, say, "If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets."[2] In the blood of what prophets, can any one tell me? For where do we find anything like this written of Esaias, or Jeremias, or any of the twelve, or Daniel? Then about Zacharias the son of Barachias, who was slain between the temple and the altar, we learn from Jesus only, not knowing it otherwise from any Scripture. Wherefore I think no other supposition is possible, than that they who had the reputation of wisdom, and the rulers and elders, took away from the people every passage which might bring them into discredit among the people. We need not wonder, then, if this history of the evil device of the licentious elders against Susanna is true, but was concealed and removed from the Scriptures by men themselves not very far removed from the counsel of these elders.

"And where the sacred writers say, Who exists before the ages,' and 'By whom He made the ages,’ [Heb 1:2] they thereby as clearly preach the eternal and everlasting being of the Son, even while they are designating God Himself. Thus, if Isaiah says, 'The Everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth;’ [Is 40:28] and Susanna said, 'O Everlasting God;' [Daniel 13:42-Susanna] and Baruch wrote, 'I will cry unto the Everlasting in my days,' and shortly after, 'My hope is in the Everlasting, that He will save you, and joy is come unto me from the Holy One;' [Baruch 4:20,22]" Athanasius the Great: Discourses Against the Arians, 1:4 (A.D. 362), in NPNF2, IV:313

Since, however, after all his severe sufferings, after his retirement into Gaul, after his sojourn in a foreign and far distant country in the place of his own, after his narrow escape from death through their calumnies, but thanks to the clemency of the Emperor,- -distress which would have satisfied even the most cruel enemy,-- they are still insensible to shame, are again acting insolently against the Church and Athanasius; and from indignation at his deliverance venture on still more atrocious schemes against him, and are ready with an accusation, fearless of the words in holy Scripture, 'A false witness shall not be unpunished;’ [Proverbs 19:5] and, 'The mouth that belieth slayeth the soul;' (Wisdom 1:11) we therefore are unable longer to hold our peace, being amazed at their wickedness and at the insatiable love of contention displayed in their intrigues.

2. The Divine Nature then it is impossible to see with eyes of flesh: but from the works, which are Divine, it is possible to attain to some conception of His power, according to Solomon, who says, "For by the greatness and beauty of the creatures proportionally the Maker of them is seen" (Wis 13:5). He said not that from the creatures the Maker is seen, but added proportionably. For God appears the greater to every man in proportion as he has grasped a larger survey of the creatures: and when his heart is uplifted by that larger survey, he gains withal a greater conception of God. 3. Wouldest thou learn that to comprehend the nature of God is impossible? The Three Children in the furnace of fire, as they hymn the praises of God, say "Blessed art thou that beholdest the depths, and sittest upon the Cherubim" (Song of the Three Children, 32, or in Daniel 3, between verses 23 and 24, there are 68 verses, of which this is verse 32. This is part of the Deuterocanonical portion). Tell me what is the nature of the Cherubim, and then look upon Him who sitteth upon them. And yet Ezekiel the Prophet even made a description of them, as far as was possible, saying that every one has four faces, one of a man, another of a lion, another of an eagle, and another of a calf; and that each one had six wings (Ezek. 1:6-11), and they had eyes on all sides; and that under each one was a wheel of four sides. Nevertheless though the Prophet makes the explanation, we cannot yet understand it even as we read. But if we cannot understand the throne, which he has described, how shall we be able to comprehend Him who sitteth thereon, the Invisible and Ineffable God? To scrutinize then the nature of God is impossible: but it is in our power to send up praises of His glory for His works that are seen.

Pride is of course the root of all evil, of which it is said, as Scripture bears witness: Pride is the beginning of all sin. (Sirach 10:26) Moreover; proliferating from this poisonous root as its first offspring are seven capital sins: vainglory, envy, anger malancholy, avarice, gluttony, lust. For because he grieved that we were held in bondage by these seven derivatives of pride, on that account our Redeemer, full of the spirit of sevenfold grace, joined spiritual battle for our liberation.

Do not, my dearest brother, estimate my worth by the number of my years. Gray hairs are not wisdom; it is wisdom which is as good as gray hairs At least that is what Solomon says: "wisdom is the gray hair unto men.’ [Wisdom 4:9]" Moses too in choosing the seventy elders is told to take those whom he knows to be elders indeed, and to select them not for their years but for their discretion (Num. 11:16)? And, as a boy, Daniel judges old men and in the flower of youth condemns the incontinence of age (Daniel 13:55-59, or Story of Susannah 55-59, only found in the Catholic Bibles) Jerome, To Paulinus, Epistle 58 (A.D. 395), in NPNF2, VI:119

"Yet the Holy Spirit in the thirty-ninth(9) psalm, while lamenting that all men walk in a vain show, and that they are subject to sins, speaks thus: "For all that every man walketh in the image."(Psalm 39:6) Also after David's time, in the reign of Solomon his son, we read a somewhat similar reference to the divine likeness. For in the book of Wisdom, which is inscribed with his name, Solomon says: "God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity."(Wisdom 2:23) And again, about eleven hundred and eleven years afterwards, we read in the New Testament that men have not lost the image of God. For James, an apostle and brother of the Lord, whom I have mentioned above--that we may not be entangled in the snares of Origen--teaches us that man does possess God's image and likeness. For, after a somewhat discursive account of the human tongue, he has gone on to say of it: "It is an unruly evil ... therewith bless we God, even the Father and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God."(James 3:8-9) Paul, too, the "chosen vessel,"(Acts 9:15) who in his preaching has fully maintained the doctrine of the gospel, instructs us that man is made in the image and after the likeness of God. "A man," he says, "ought not to wear long hair, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God."(1 Cor. 11:7) He speaks of "the image" simply, but explains the nature of the likeness by the word "glory."

A. "Your argument is ingenious, but you do not see THAT IT GOES AGAINST HOLY SCRIPTURE, which declares that even ignorance is not without sin. Hence it was that Job offered sacrifices for his sons, test, perchance, they had unwittingly sinned in thought. And if, when one is cutting wood, the axe-head flies from the handle and kills a man, the owner is[Num. 35:8] commanded to go to one of the cities of refuge and stay there until the high priest dies; that is to say, until he is redeemed by the Saviour's blood, either in the baptistery, or in penitence which is a copy of the grace of baptism, through the ineffable mercy of the Saviour, who[Ezek. 18:23] would not have any one perish, nor delights in the death of sinners, but would rather that they should be converted and live. C. It is surely strange justice to hold me guilty of a sin of error of which my conscience does not accuse itself. I am not aware that I have sinned, and am I to pay the penalty for an offence of which I am ignorant? What more can I do, if I sin voluntarily?
A. DO YOU EXPECT ME TO EXPLAIN THE PURPOSES AND PLANS OF GOD?

Vatican I, Session 3, Chapter 3, AD 1870

Luther would have found that image blasphemous, and the people in that video probably deny as heresy everything that Luther, Calvin, Melanchthon, Bucer, Peter Martyr, Zwingli, Petri, Karlstadt, Trubar, Oecolampadius, Osiander, Agricola, and all the other Reformers and their heirs taught.

You keep using that word "Protestant." I do not think it means what you think it means.

Jesus is not walking around on this planet anymore, or are you perhaps denying His Ascension? He built His Church upon Saint Peter as Scripture makes it clear:

>And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 16:18-19

"Binding and loosing" is a phrase which comes from the rabbis. It refers to the authority to make decisions binding on the people of God.

As for your preposterous second statement, no, He was talking about the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church which He founded Himself, NOT the 30000+ proddy denominations.

The origional church of Christ was founded not on a person such as Peter but on a confession of faith that Peter gave.

Therefore the church that Christ founded was one on doctrine,the doctrines which are found and taught in the holy scriptures only.

Papal supremacy isn't part of the Church and Her traditions, it's an addition. Therefore, it is a heresy.
The Roman Catholic Church are the schismatics. Learn your history.

Matthew 16:18, the word “rock” refers to Peter’s confession of faith, and not to Peter himself, despite the fact that Peter/rock is a play on the word for rock in Aramaic [petros] and Greek [petra]. As we read in 1Corinthians 10:4, “...they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ,” Who alone is the very foundation, or true Rock, upon which stands the Church. It is on Jesus Christ, the Rock, that the Church’s unchanging faith and confession is firmly rooted.

I am not a protestant, so riddle me this:

Protestants resent the papal authority, instead they follow the bible more closely, correct?

But then there have been numerous councils to decide what is supposed to be in the bible. Those happened in a time where the church already existed, right?

So, why is the Catholic Church's authority on a one time book collection more viable than a permanent long time authority position?

First """"contradiction"""": two different events.

Second """"contradiction"""": In Romans 4:2 it says "if Abraham was justified by works" while in James 2:21 it says "Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?". How do both statements contradict each other?

Third """"contradiction"""": In Heb 11:17-18 it says "By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.”, Ishmael (Gen 16:15) was previously expelled (Gen 21:10-13) and as for Genesis 25:1-2 it says "Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. 2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah." Where the hell is the contradiction? This is why I despise atheists.

The deuterocanon isn't apocryphal. Also while Trent was the first ecumenical council to declare canon there were various ancient synods like the several at Carthage which concerned biblical canon. Eastern Orthodox absolute do accept deuterocanon and they read it as part of their liturgies. Their deuterocanon is actually a bit larger than the Latin Catholic one.
