Personally, I’m Church of God although my wife grew up in the Assemblies. Although my blog started out as heavily Pentecostal-biased, now I tend to write on general Christian principles or apologetics. On Twitter I’ve got a pretty big and diverse following; Baptists, Catholics, and even a few Muslims enjoy reading it!

Not banned.
Simply found lacking.

Well contrary to popular belief, there was no official "council" that decided what should or shouldn't be in the New Testament. But the 27 books were written before 70 AD, while the so-called "banned" books (actually gnostic texts) were produced no earlier than 150 AD and contain bizarre, heretical doctrine.
But I see your point.

Why, because humblegunner hates bloggers?
Which I totally understand. I realize that click-baiting can be a problem, but I make sure to post my entire blog and not just excerpts with links. Also, I don’t make any money from teaching or writing, I do it purely for the love of educating people about the Word of God or getting a lively theological discussion going.
...or, unless you think humblegunner has an opinion over whether the 2nd-century gnostic texts should have been included in the New Testament—in which case, I can’t speak for him.

I watched it or something very similar a year or two ago.
The title was misleading. They simply studied the documents and chose the ones they thought were genuine. That means the others were not so much banned as just not included.

Revelation was written before the 90’s according to you I guess?

I don’t think we should sic humblegunner on pcottraux. I appreciate his postings here. Good quality, and he appears to be looking to educate, not get clicks, IMO.

‘But the 27 books were written before 70 AD’
that is up for debate...it’s entirely possible that none of the Gospels and Revelation predated 70 AD...
To: Roman_War_Criminal
I acknowledge that Revelation (and Hebrews) not being part of the 4 gospels or Pauline epistles, there was some hesitancy in canonizing them, which just testifies to how careful the Early Church was in filtering out frauds. But yes, I do think they both pre-date the 90s and are rightfully included in the New Testament.

I just read a fascinating book entitled “Jesus and the Jewish Festivals”...it put all of Jesus’ sermons, claims, and debates with the Pharisees in proper historical context. Learned a lot about ancient early first-century Judaism that I didn’t know, and it’s amazing how much Jesus’ activities revolved around Jewish festivals, especially during harvest season.

This is true. What are clicks to me? An ego boost? :)
