Amazing	Re: Facts about the NT Bible
	Mavie: Thanks. And I hope that my next two posts will be good ... then I will have to stop this topic line, lest I be declared a total kook. E-mail me at: Amazing75@hotmail.com and I will give you my phone numbers. Big Mouth: The Watchtower and some Protestant denominations consider the early Catholic Church to have become apostate by the late 3rd to early 4th century. The compilation of the Bible did not commence until the late 4th century. So, that is what I mean by long after they became apostate by Watchtower and some Protestant standards. Narkissos: Yes, Watchtower and some Protestant standards. Freethink: Yes, there is the Gospel of Thomas, and the Gospel of St. Peter (not the Epsitles of 1st and 2nd Peter that are inclued today) and the Gospel of Mary. The Espistles of 1st and 2nd Peter, Hebrews and James are among the questionable books along with Revelation that the Church was not sure about whether to include in the first place. RAF:  I really don't care who put what together (but lot of material are at our disposal NOW) and everyone is supposed to be attracted by what suites his state of mind or understanding I guess. That's why I can understand that the bible can be repulsive on some matters if you focus on details. Who put the Bible together is not as important as what it says, and what is done with it.  However, because the Catholic Church is accused of being a deviated or even apostate religion by some Protestants, including Jehovah's  WItnesses and some ex-Jehovah's Witnesses, then this issue becomes a problem for them.  The WTBS likes to use OT a lot and I guess that I know why! Yes they do.  I am cusious as to what you thnk on why they do. To me the Gospel is talking about growing up ... we don't need laws, we only need to take care (not missing the point = what is really important in everything - Charity including forgiveness for everyone and trying to forget about our Ego). Good point. Jim Whitney
