Thanks so much Sis. That was very kind of you to look this up for me, and your thoughts of wanting to help put a comfrating smile on my face. Its interesting how the 66 books were chosen right? Its one of those topics for some reason we dont talk about on Sundays or Wed nights. Old testament says dont set up for yourselves a king cuz kingdoms divide creation, and it says that all of Israel is Gods firstborn son, and then after Athanasius gets a hold of all the books, scrolls, letters, etc. from all the other religions from all over the world, we get a New Testament where there's a king of kings and Lord of lords and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess, which sounds demanding and not loving. If love does not demand its own way and in the beginning the Word was God and God is love which means the word is the spirit of love then how can the beginning of wisdom the fear of itself? Syncretism was widely used by the world's leading Empire. In order for a new Empire to take place the leader must think the people together. And how he would do that was to sync the religions together so that the people's minds would be submissive to the new ruling Empire. Like slaves obey your masters, and obey the government because God put them in their place. Its not very loving. A father who would knowingly sacrifice his own son sounds like a pagan worship of the god Marduk. Because in Hosea 8 it says that love is greater than sacrifice. In Revelations it says the stories of Jesus are from the spirit of prophecy and how do we know that revelations is at the very end and that Genesis is at the beginning? We accept the 66 books as the Word of God because we've been told that our whole lives but when we seek for ourselves we find that it is hard to believe that God would use the Pope of Alexandria and the leader of the whole world to put his words together. And if that was true I'm sure that they would have shown their work on how the spirit told them to pick and choose which book goes here or there, you know what I mean?
