SaintMog:
Simply put: the books of the bible were compiled and accepted based on each of them having passed the test of canonicity. Space and time will not permit to state all the tests here. Many books were written but they failed the test. The book of Enoch failed such test.

What do you mean by the test of canonicity?
Who approves it at the end of the day, and who even brought it up, God or the white man?
Do not believe evrything this white man tell you, cause they can not be really trusted.

Yea brother. I have read it. You are very correct. It is important that people know that the book called Enoch was never part of the Bible. When the Bible came to be no part had ever been removed.
brother, not willing to argue oh.. but may be u could shed more light on how d 39 books of the old testament now become 26 in the new testament.. are these 2 not bibles?

you are a full grown hypocrite to think that your religion is supreme and superceeds others.

Young woman! Don't misunderstand me. Christianity didn't start as a religion. Religion was man's invention. Infact the apostles never aimed to start an ideology for people to follow; it was just the gentiles in antioch that named them christian(christlike) as a result of the reflection of christ in their life. Christianity in the sight of men is religion but the truth is that it is not a religion. If christianity is to be given a proper definition, it should be the restoration of man back to God through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. Shalom!

My half-learned Historian, you did not even learnt well when you were being taught history.
The true writing of language (not only numbers) was invented independently in at least two places: Mesopotamia (specifically, ancient Sumer) around 3200 BC and Mesoamerica around 600 BC.
So your Egypt is just around 2000BC.
Atleast you could have just Googled, it before your historical epilepsy saga.
Well i am happy to teach you still.

the book was never in the bible in the first place! church fathers as at that time gathered and examined several scriptures to determine if they were genuinely inspired by the holy spirit. Christianity just became state religion in Rome and there was need to streamline activities and stamp out paganism. many christian sects and scriptures were available then. some were overtly heretical (as in their message did not align with that of the church fathers) while some (like the book of Enoch) were somehow complicated. these books certainly contained biblical truth, but there were passages/chapters/verses in these books that were suspicious. hence these books were described as non-canonical and excluded from what eventually became the bible (as we see it today).
Who has the gut to mark and unmark God's word. The real Bible has been tampered with no doubt.

Question: "What occurred at the Council of Nicea?"

Answer: The Council of Nicea took place in AD 325 by order of the Roman Emperor Caesar Flavius Constantine. Nicea was located in Asia Minor, east of Constantinople. At the Council of Nicea, Emperor Constantine presided over a group of church bishops and other leaders with the purpose of defining the nature of God for all of Christianity and eliminating confusion, controversy, and contention within the church. The Council of Nicea overwhelmingly affirmed the deity and eternality of Jesus Christ and defined the relationship between the Father and the Son as “of one substance.” It also affirmed the Trinity—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were listed as three co-equal and co-eternal Persons.

Constantine, who claimed conversion to Christianity, called for a meeting of bishops to be held in Nicea to resolve some escalating controversies among the church leadership. The issues being debated included the nature of Jesus Christ, the proper date to celebrate Easter, and other matters. The failing Roman Empire, now under Constantine’s rule, could not withstand the division caused by years of hard-fought, “out of hand” arguing over doctrinal differences. The emperor saw the quarrels within the church not only as a threat to Christianity but as a threat to society as well. Therefore, at the Council of Nicea, Constantine encouraged the church leaders to settle their internal disagreements and become Christlike agents who could bring new life to a troubled empire. Constantine felt “called” to use his authority to help bring about unity, peace, and love within the church.

The main theological issue had always been about Christ. Since the end of the apostolic age, Christians had begun debating these questions: Who is the Christ? Is He more divine than human or more human than divine? Was Jesus created or begotten? Being the Son of God, is He co-equal and co-eternal with the Father, or is He lower in status than the Father? Is the Father the one true God, or are the Father, Son, and Spirit the one true God?

A priest named Arius presented his argument that Jesus Christ was not an eternal being, that He was created at a certain point in time by the Father. Bishops such as Alexander and the deacon Athanasius argued the opposite position: that Jesus Christ is eternal, just like the Father is. It was an argument pitting trinitarianism against monarchianism.

Constantine prodded the 300 bishops in the council make a decision by majority vote defining who Jesus Christ is. The statement of doctrine they produced was one that all of Christianity would follow and obey, called the “Nicene Creed.” This creed was upheld by the church and enforced by the Emperor. The bishops at Nicea voted to make the full deity of Christ the accepted position of the church. The Council of Nicea upheld the doctrine of Christ’s true divinity, rejecting Arius’s heresy. The council did not invent this doctrine. Rather, it only recognized what the Bible already taught.

The New Testament teaches that Jesus the Messiah should be worshipped, which is to say He is co-equal with God. The New Testament forbids the worship of angels (Colossians 2:18; Revelation 22:8, 9) but commands worship of Jesus. The apostle Paul tells us that “in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form” (Colossians 2:9; 1:19). Paul declares Jesus as Lord and the One to whom a person must pray for salvation (Romans 10:9-13; cf. Joel 2:32). “Jesus is God overall” (Romans 9:5) and our God and Savior (Titus 2:13). Faith in Jesus’ deity is basic to Paul’s theology.

John’s Gospel declares Jesus to be the divine, eternal Logos, the agent of creation and source of life and light (John 1:1-5,9); "the Way, the Truth, and the Life" (John 14:6); our advocate with the Father (1 John 2:1-2); the Sovereign (Revelation 1:5); and the Son of God from the beginning to the end (Revelation 22:13). The author of Hebrews reveals the deity of Jesus through His perfection as the most high priest (Hebrews 1; Hebrews 7:1-3). The divine-human Savior is the Christian’s object of faith, hope, and love.

The Council of Nicea did not invent the doctrine of the deity of Christ. Rather, the Council of Nicea affirmed the apostles’ teaching of who Christ is—the one true God and the Second Person of the Trinity, with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

The modern day bible wether you choose to agree or not, was complied and refined by the Catholic Church. Most of the contents in the modern day bible were refined to suite the doctrines of the Catholic Church.

Tell your pastor to go get more understanding about the bible in Isreal. I have been there, asked questions and I don't jump in myopic conclusions about what the bible is or not. You have no moral grounds to condemn books written before you were conceived.



I would condemn any other book written that is not the Holy Bible. Don't even try to convince me because I cannot be confused or convinced about that because I know only the Holy Bible inspired by the Holy Spirit is the comfirmed only truth.Other books are counterfeits inspired by the devil to mislead people like you or others who want to be mislead.
