Doesn't it bother you that Protestant apologists blatantly lie about something that can be easily demonstrated from history?
Concerning the work of these councils, William Penn writes as follows: "I say how do they know that these men discerned true from spurious? Now, sure it is, that some of the Scriptures taken in by one council were rejected by another for apocryphal, and that which was left out by the former for apocryphal was taken in by the latter for canonical." (Penn's Works, Vol. I, p. 302).
Eusebius in the fourth century disputed Hebrews, James, Second and Third John, Jude, Revelation, shepherd of Hermas, Epicstle of Brnabas, Acts of Paul, and Revelation of Peter.
Athanasius rejected Esther, and Epiphanius accepted the Epistle of Jeremiah. Chrysostom omitted ten books from his canon-- First and Second Chronicles, Esther, Job, and Lamentations from the Old Testament and Second Peter, Second and Third John, Jude, and Revelation, of the New Testament. Cyril, Bishop of Jerusalem, and Gregory, Bishop of Constantinople, both rejected Revelation.
