I agree...But, I believe it's reasonable to assume that many early Chrisians did copy the scriptures with what means they had available...
I just found it interesting that the bible mentions this in a few place so it must be significant, possibly to let us know that our bible history wasn't just passed on from one mouth to another...
It was recorded, even in it's earliest stages...
I would agree with your comments.
That’s funny, my Bible, as does several other translations,
uses the word spread in that passage rather than publish.
This goes to the very heart of the argument of this priest’s sermon does it not?
The question of baptism, another point in the sermon. Who is right? You say there is no need for baptism, yet we are told “repent and be baptized”. The eunuch upon learning from Philip how he is to interpret the Word(the OT)in light of Jesus, immediately wishes to be baptized and Philip, an Apostle, one of the original twelve, went with him down to the water and baptized him.
