I stand by what I said. Period. And I understand the time-line very well. I just don't feel the need to expound on all the various books being read, I just bought out that the books of the Bible were being read by most of the Churches of Christ in various places before the counsel at Carthage. And, FYI, the church is not just a gathering of Elders/presbyters/overseers, i.e., Bishops; it is made up of all believers in Christ.
You don't have to right all the time. I agree.

Okay, buy it out. The facts are a little at odd with your beliefs, but so be it.

That is correct. I meant to say Church clergy overall, showing that there were many more bishops at Carthage than in Apostolic times total, because of the rise of Christianity; therefore the proceedings would be handled slightly differently than with a much smaller group.
