RonD1120 62 #26 December 24, 2015 turtlespeed***There are 66 books in the Bible, 44 authors and written over a period of 1500 years. Scripture is proven by scripture. The Books of the Apocrypha are recognized by the Roman Catholic church, I think. I do not know for certain how many there are. And who compiled these in the order they are in now? What about the other scrolls found? I suggest Google.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

RonD1120 62 #27 December 24, 2015 wolfriverjoe***... Scripture is proven by scripture... Right. Sure it is. And there is a lot more to the NT than we know. Generally accepted is that there was a "book" for each disciple. But the early church decided that it was too complicated, so chopped it to 4 (there were 4 compass headings and "4 elements"). You are certainly entitled to your beliefs, but to claim the Bible as historical fact is ridiculous. Ya, if it wasn't for Jesus Christ I doubt if I would be concerned with it all. BTW, Merry Christmas. The majority of the folks believe in Him.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

These types of charlatans have been around for quite some time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajneesh And there will be more of them in the future, Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
