What …… to do with one more reason to

OK ….
Let's start with
1) Catholic Bible
* In 393, the Synod of Hippo authority defines a list of (real) religious scriptures
* Confirmed by the Council of Carthage in 397 which I like to call it the Hippo / Carthage biblical canon (HCC)
* HCC widely used by the first book known as "the bible", the Latin Vulgate of 405
* HCC still used in the 8th century (evidence: Codex Amiatinus)
* In 1534, the book of Baruch was also considered a standard part of the biblical canon. I know because it appears in the Bible of Luther, with the HCC, despite Luther Baruch be uninspired.
* 1564, Baruch Hcc more formally established as the Roman Catholic biblical canon
2) However, the Protestant Bible
* 1534 Martin Luther removed some scriptures third section of the Bible called "Apocrypha." Luther believed that the Scriptures, in addition to the Revelation, James and Esther, but not inspired to be useful for the study.
* Follows the 1535 Coverdale Bible Luther Bible with the third section entitled "Apocrypha," and added 1 and 2 Esdras and the Prayer of Manasseh Luther Apocrypha. These 3 "extra" books were present in the Latin Vulgate in use at the time.
* 1563 call for Canterbury specifically lists the contents of English Bible, including the Scriptures of the English Protestant Apocrypha, and expressly stating that only the scriptures of the Apocrypha is not inspired (but still useful for the study)
* 1590s the Puritans were the first group to produce a Bible in any language without the Apocrypha. (Source: Dictionary of the Bible HarperCollins). This practice gains in popularity after many other Protestant sects and other languages.
* In early 1600 England enacted a law making it a crime to produce a Bible without the Apocrypha. This law seems to have been eradicated or ignored by the beginning of the 1700s. It's going to be difficult, however, find an English Bible that does not include the Apocrypha by 1700.http: / / http://www.bible-reviews.com/charts_scri …
3) There are other writings that includes the Dead Sea Scrolls
Which are not considered inspired scripture by any modern Jewish or Christian group. Many of these writings are only personal letters not for importing religious. The reason for the omission of any particular scripture in the bible 500 years after several of the Christian Scriptures to the Scriptures, of course. For example: 1 Enoch contains gross errors. The Copper Scroll is merely a list of items and their location. etc
4) there is added to some passages from the books of the Bible, like the Gospel according to Mark. The Gospel of Mark originally ended with the crucifixion, but later added the resurrection. Who decided to add the extra tickets
It is unknown what has opted to add a brightness (known as "the long end) for the book of Mark. However, it is obvious why: The plug is the brand I wanted to talk about an important event of the resurrection, as did the other 3 Gospels. Thus, the supplement is added to this case, using one or more of the other Gospels as the source. We can guess that the supplement are considered too important to be ignored. The addition seems to have been considered a good thing for those responsible for the preservation of the Scriptures, because very few of these, the shorter version of the book of Mark has been preserved.
5), which decided to shelve a number of other books like The Gospel of Barnabas and The Gospel According to Mary Magdalene?
This was decided by several people over the centuries, but it can be said to be formally determined as soon as the municipality of Carthage 397. We can see even better at the end of the century 5th/early 6 Decretum Gelasianum, which not only lists all of the books approved by Carthage, but also lists many other scriptures that have to be rejected.
The Gospel of Barnabas available, in particular, is known to be a late forgery, and was almost certainly not exist in these early dates. However, the Decretum Gelasianum * mention (in the "rejected" list) that a Gospel of Barnabas existed at that time.
The so-called Gospel of Mary (Magdalena?) * * It is actually a text of principles - known at least since the 5th century, but not 4thhttp: / / en.wikipedia.org / wiki / Gospel_of_M …
However, since it is * not * contained in the Decretum Gelasianum may be that was not well known at the time it was determined the biblical canon, or that it was not commonly accepted by Gnostic Christians and did not need to be included in the Decretum. Curiously, the book of Baruch was not listed in the Decretum, but has been deemed authentic by the council of Laodicea, and later (sometime after the 8th century) of the Western church. The omission of the book since early Baruc lists (except Laodicea) and early Bibles West is much more surprising that the omission of the Gospel of Mary. Also interesting: Baruch * * included in the Codex and other early Greek Bibles alexandrinus. Perhaps this persistence in the East is the reason that adds to the long western canon.

How we got the Bible
Translations are the best?
The Bible is complete without the Apocrypha and other writings dark? Is there sufficient evidence to establish whether these documents belong to the Word of God? Many data on the collection and preservation of the Bible show God's hand guide the process. Section I of this brochure explains the amazing story of how God preserved His Word! Moreover, to seek God's kingdom first and the Scriptures-the Bible every day. But how can we do if this has not translated into the language of common people? Section II explains that the 70 English translations should be used today. Section I
How we got the Bible
Where did the Bible come from? Who is the author? How do we do? Is it complete?
Many sincerely wonder: Do we have all the Bible? Some think that we can not know. Is there any way to prove this?
There are plain answers to these questions.
Consider for a moment. Are you able to keep important financial documents you need to maintain? Families can preserve treasured photographs, protected in an album? Companies are able to preserve records vital to their existence? The National Archives can protect important documents and objects of American history? The Internet is capable of almost everything?
The answer to all these questions is "Yes!"
If God can create the universe and all life within it-surely it can preserve His Word. However, most seem to think that God is less capable of preserving what is vital for men who are human beings!
The design and development of the Bible is a fascinating history. This article explores in detail the essential canonization and confirming the binding of the books that God intended to preserve his word forever as Scripture.
Parameters
Three areas must be understood and appreciated in order to open the series of questions. We present the overwhelming evidence in the following general format:
(1) The design and layout of the Old Testament (including the canonization).
(2) The design and layout of the New Testament (including the canonization).
(3) The study of the Apocrypha and other documents not canonized.
Part 1: Design and Layout of the Old Testament
The Jews preserved the Hebrew Scriptures. Romans 3:1-2 tells us: "What advantage then has the Jew? Or what are the benefits of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because to them were committed the oracles of God. "
The oracles of God are in Scripture and the Sacred Calendar. To find the true source of the Bible, we must look to the Jews, whose leaders were commissioned to preserve and protect them.
How can we be certain that God can preserve His Word for us today, almost 2000 years after the canonization of the New Testament? Christ answers this in Matthew 24:35: "Heaven and earth will pass away but my words shall not pass."
Notice another statement by Christ that expands on this principle: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I have not come to destroy but to fulfill. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled "(Matthew 5:17-18).
The phrase "law or the prophets," is a short term of the Hebrew Scriptures, as we shall see shortly. Christ came not to destroy the Scriptures, or repeal the law of God, but to fulfill the prophecies of human existence and their sacrifice.
Observe the following verse, which indicates that Christ realized that the Jews had the good writing, a compliance prophesying: "But how they have met the Scriptures that it must be … But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples abandoned it and fled "(Matthew 26:54, 56).
Acts 17:10-11 shows that awaits the brothers in order to find the true Scriptures: "And the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea: who coming there went into the synagogue of the Jews . These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. "
Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman, has always been familiar with the true Scriptures: "And that from a child who has known the Holy Scriptures which are able to do wise to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness "(II Tim. 3:15-16).
Many other verses could be cited to reinforce this fact, but the point is clear. Each synagogue had copies or exact replicas of the texts found in the Temple. Even the term "holy scriptures" literally means "Holy Scriptures." Sacred refers to the Holy

The first century church leaders decided that the books have been added. The gospel according to Mary was a fraud that was written between 100 and 175 ad listings. Deduce that were in books, church leaders made a lot of research. Matthew, Mark, and Luke was written between 50 and 90 ad ads. John was written around 99 ads, of course, this disciple was still alive. In addition, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote and all of them woven together beautifully to show the real life of Jesus. The Gospel of Peter was supposed to be written after ad 100, and aligned with the four Gospels, except that a cross had been talking about leaving the tomb empty. As a college professor can deduct between different styles of leaves, and if someone puts in a piece that is not the same species as the weeds out, the leaders of the church took very closely monitor test and pull the books from the fraudulent real stack of writings about Christ. They were very skilled at what they did, and contrary to what some believe, not just pick and choose their favorite stories to take power. Were qualified theologians chose carefully between the right and wrong books books. I hope for some help. God bless. If you ever need anything, my e-mail is themark08@yahoo.com.
