Straight as they were going to be.
You have an entire religion based on either ADDING to the Scriptures, in order to make them comply to your standards, or TAKING FROM the Scriptures, in order to make them comply to your standards.
Neither. There were 73 books of the Bible for well over a millennium (after the Councils finally got their selections finished) until Martin Luther got into them with his theological axe. Catholicism has the Scriptures brought to us from Hippo and Carthage. No adds, no deletes, no Reformation required.
Actually, America's Got Talent may just be a wiser road to take. At least they have RULES, that are written, and complied with.
Check out the Catechism. It is online and free for your viewing at the Vatican.va website. Rules, written and supposed to be complied with.
As to Paul in Acts, Galatians which you were just SO proud of, doesn't seem to your liking now...
I'm fine with both books. What do you mean? We were going through the timeline from Acts and you waved GALATIANS in your post in capital letters. I was explaining the timeline regarding Paul and his trips to Jerusalem to see the Council of the Apostles. If you wish to add the Galatians to corroborate or flesh out the timeline, please do.
LOVE Acts. It was the transition period from Law to Grace, from the Gospel of the Kingdom, to the Gospel of the Grace of God, from a kingdom of believers to a Body of believers, from Peter's preaching on the day of Pentecost to the nation of Israel, to Paul's preaching of the reconciliation of Jew and Gentile into One New Man. What's not to like?
Acts is great. There was a debate in the third century as to whether or not it should be considered as the Gospels are. I believe that some Bibles group Acts with the Gospels.
Unless you're looking for Peter's trip to Rome, or the claim that Peter was the first pope, or that Peter was the vicar of Christ. Then Acts is a problem..
Acts 2-11 goes a long way. But Acts is not the whole Bible; and there is Church tradition that was in place long before Acts was even written, much less chosen as Scripture.
Just a friendly reminder of what you wrote about Galatians.. And a friendly reminder that Paul, in Galatians, says he did NOT receive his gospel from anyone, including the Council. Gal. 1:11,12. Just one more "But those who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me; God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat IN CONFERENCE ADDED NOTHING TO ME." (Gal. 2:6). you see? they added nothing to Paul, because they couldn't. And why is that? Because Gal. 1:11,12 tell you why. He received his gospel from revelation of Jesus Christ. He was only subordinate to Jesus Christ.Not to Peter, the 11, or the Council.
