Subject: The cannonization of Jude |
Bible Note: Roverjbh99 (Josh): A few posts ago this old Arkansas Razorback mildly scolded you for failure to cite any references in regard to the number of books in the Apocrypha. Now we face the same dilemma regarding your post in which, without any documentation, you say: "The reason 2 Peter, Jude, 2 and 3 John and Revelation were not accepted into the canon is because the church fathers had doubts about the content of the said books.".....In all candor, Josh, I feel obligated for the sake of keeping the forum as credible as possible, to join with our friend JVH in his plea for authenticating references. "Church fathers" covers an enormously broad spectrum. Not a few so-called church fathers were, in fact, notorious heretics. Among them was Marcion, who for example, in the early second century, created a canon consisting solely of edited versions of Luke and some of Paul's Letters. He rejected the Old Testament entirely.
