Christians, would you buy this NT?

RE: Christians, would you buy this NT?
I just think it's strange to label Jude a forgery. It's one of the letters from a different author that gives you more information - Luke + Paul + James + Jude, the author of "John", the author of "Mark, the author of "Matthew", and the author of "1, 2, 3 John" are the authors you should be concerned with. No need to label those as forgeries - in that all were almost certainly written in the first century and were near identical to the copies that exist of them today. The books that are less authoritative in terms of author creditability and first century authorship would be 1-2 Peter, "Hebrews", and the pastoral epistles and other pseudonymous Pauline epistles (which interestingly enough include two works that are not in most Christian Bibles).

Revelation is a different matter, it may have been written late first century, but it doesn't contain any history in it, it's a book of futuristic visions, so it can't really tell you anything about the first century church, and for that reason it's safe to ignore it.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
