What is your excuse for learning that you are in a cult, a cult that you yourself have proven, that you recognize, works exactly like a cult, yet you must remain blind to that because being owned by your belief is simply less scary than the truth?
You are not following. The Apocryphal texts were generated from the same source of belief and origin as the canon.
Most of the apologetics are too strained for credibility. That's why defending the Christian dogma is called apologetics. Let's talk about the creation of light on day 1 and the sun on 4. Something early and simple in the canon. Night and day, light and dark set apart in a cycle of a day happened before the sun was created on day 4.
In order to be considered "legal tender" the books:
5. had to be promoted by the bishop with the biggest army
Perhaps you got it wrong...no harm, no foul?
I know academia today likes to go back and reopen cases of the past and insert their brand of education into the mix.
For the construction of the New Testament canon, things weren't quite as neat as this (at least for awhile).
So you like a fantasy you have created from nothing.
And you are wrong again.
And three times. You are on a roll.
Wow... you are consistently wrong.
Truth of the matter is... I dont have any classrooms, and have never thought that I would like to live in the dark ages.
My science is a fantasy you created from nothing.
Loaded question - prove he wrote it improperly.
We know the source of light that separates night from day is the sun. That was the 4rth day.
Nope. We know the sun is the Earth's entire source of natural light, and earth spin causes night and day in proximation to the sun. Ancient cosmologists got this wrong... the bible has it wrong. A knowing and guiding hand of God was not involved with the authorship of the myth.
There is nothing listed here that is different from the texts left out. They did not know who wrote the books. The book of Thomas is as revelatory as it gets. Universal recognition within the church is not parsed out to this day. "Considered" inspired by God? Wonder how that one was discussed given the bible to this day is not a consistent canon.
Did it occur to you that there could be "days going by" on a planet that has no sun?
HE decided that it's good, so you must have.
You haven't actually demonstrated that loving YHVH, my enemies, praying for those who mock me, and need to lie to convince me they're not afraid is a cult.
I'm not the one who's afraid. I'm actually enjoying the joy, shalom, calm of being, and satisfaction YHVH provides.

The smart Christians simply don't respond to questions they should have answers for (but do not).
They still don't know who wrote the gospels and Paul only wrote 7 of the epistles, yet with confidence the stamp of God is somehow maintained through the farce of it all.
