Facing the Morally Bad Future

[Godscreated]

Why do you believe that the additions are a contamination to scriptures, if those few additions did not hold up to the rest of scripture they would not appear in scriptures,

An irrelevant suggestion because the matter of the fact is that they are in there.

I disagree, it is relevant, they would not be there if they were considered a contamination, they would have been thrown out, they remain because they do not disagree with the rest of scripture.

why, because the whole book would not have been accepted.

Then why do you and I have Bibles? Clearly the individual books weren't thrown out but embraced.

Those that did not stand up to the scrutiny of scriptures, that were contradictions, those books were not used, like the books written by the many cults of Christianity you named earlier in this discussion.

Why do you think so many writings were not included into scripture, they contained ideas that were not supported by scripture.

And how would you know what scripture actually was in those times? Put yourself in their shoes: there were some 20 gospels floating around (I don't know the exact number but I came across the list once). 'Scripture' wasn't defined until the canon was made up which resulted in the Bible that you and I own. Therefore to say some gospels didn't 'support scripture' doesn't make sense.

The OT holds many reasons, there are many prophecies in them about Christ, they were the scriptures the Apostles used to preach about Christ. There were many men who took many books read and studied them and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit included the books we have today. I can not speak for the Holy Spirit and why He guided these men to the selection we have today. I trust they did their work well, we have found no reason to go back and add any of the rejected books over nearly two thousand years. This is strong evidence they did exactly as they were lead.
