Re: More circular reasoning.
Book of Enoch.
​
Gospel of Peter. (You'd think his would get included since he is the "Rock on which the Church is founded")
​
Gospel of James.
​
Epistle of Barnabas.
​
The Story of Adam and Eve.
​
Where are these in the modern Bible? Why are they included in some Bibles but not in others?

Re: More circular reasoning.
And there is plenty to go around.
​
well, it's not like peter wrote it or anything.
​
I can't imagine why Jews would be bothered by the Gospel of Peter? LOL
​
anyhow, i think someone should start an apocrypha and pseudepigrapha thread. this stuff can be interesting.
​
Agreed. If nothing else it wouold be interesting to examine some of the other early Christian Churces, for example, the Ethiopian Church.

​
there are actually quite a few of the heresies that might even be considered mainstream theology today.

Re: Peter
What does that have to do with anything?

Re: Peter
You see, as YOU interpret the Bible, Peter is not the Rock on which the church is founded.
​
But that is YOUR interpretation.
​
It is exactly things like this that show that the Bible is not accurate (except in an individuals peculiar interpretation).
​
One of the beauties of the literalists is that they can interpret it anyway they want.
