Prophecies can be given by God for specific circumstances, but why involve Paul?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, my 2 cents.Robert Treskillardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17767228138541201198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26401815.post-12730291470245447352008-04-22T08:16:00.000-06:002008-04-22T08:16:00.000-06:00Jason,Yeah, loved this book!

And I apprecite the following point you made:<BR/><BR/>"I have heard people who criticize the Bible's accuracy claim that the lack of 4 Corinthian letters shows the Bible wasn't accurately preserved. To this I say hogwash. Just because it is mentioned in the Bible doesn't mean that it was meant to be in the Bible. Paul quotes a pagan philosopher, should the pagan's works be in the Bible? I believe that what we needed was preserved, and these other Corinthian letters were of such a personal nature that they weren't pertinent to be kept in a global/general teaching manual like the Bible."<BR/><BR/>Well argued.<BR/><BR/>And by the way, I loved how you gave Paul's letters a very Ludlum worthy title! I can see it now...<BR/><BR/>"The Corinthian Correspondence"<BR/><BR/>By Robert Ludlum<BR/><BR/>Well done.<BR/><BR/>CH<BR/><BR/>(sorry...I misspelled something and had to delete the previous comment: couldn't live with it!)Christopher Hopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11844586938092007032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26401815.post-15106422338337983162008-04-22T08:15:00.000-06:002008-04-22T08:15:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Christopher Hopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11844586938092007032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26401815.post-89695674660978177832008-04-22T06:56:00.000-06:002008-04-22T06:56:00.000-06:00Good summary of the Canonization.

I appreicate that Bergren used such a creative "what if" premise for her book while carefully maintaining that not all things revealed by God were intented by God to part of the Biblical text.Sojournerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657406806123607169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26401815.post-61525979352623032652008-04-22T06:55:00.000-06:002008-04-22T06:55:00.000-06:00Reminds me of this passage from Jude:Enoch, the se...Reminds me of this passage from Jude:<BR/><BR/><I>Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him."</I><BR/><BR/>Apparently some of Enoch's words were known and believed to be God breathed.. but the entire book of Enoch was not included in the canon of scripture.. and I am okay with that!kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.com
