Do you include the Book of Judas in your assessment?

It makes history, and the most supressed book ever. Banned for 1800 years, the only existing copy was then debated for 40 years, on whether it should be burned, or released.

Look, if you favour the King James, and believe it to be the Word of G_D, I wish you well - go with that. It will help you in this life, and save you in the next, I hope.

But about a million other versions exist, all of which contradict that one - maybe G_D left the whole thing an open question, and wants people to think.

Wheoew! I smell very old red herring!

Let me think. No.

The New Testament Canon was settled way back at the time of Augustine. I could like to it, but you could look it up, for yourself.

That which was found, by rational analysis, prayer and Christian comit, to be the Canon contains no self-contradiction. That was one of the tests, of course, the words of Christ, Himself leading the informed heart and mind.

Sorry. Wrong. Our church recently did a rather intensive study on this.....the facts simply do not bear out what you say in your reply about the so-called "Book of Judas", etc.
