Another Inconvenient Truth: Incomplete and Fractured Frameworks!
Are 66 books, an adequate framework to describe, confine, explain and affirm without question, everything that exists in the known Universe and beyond or the source of all things, is the question? I could only wish that each writer was present to answer for themselves.
Or, how about luminaries like Polycarp, Josephus, Erasmus, Eusebius, Thomas Aquinas, Matthew, Luke, John, Paul … If they were present today,, I would like to see if they would defend the modern-day Christian proposition, that the 66 Books are the unadulterated word of God, and furthermore that all that we really need to know is contained, confined and confirmed is this limited work.
Our critics view the ones of us who hold this position to be apostate, of the devil, misguided, uninformed and self-directed, however, is that the case?. Without trying to shake anyone's faith, we are simply challenging what I and others like me believe is misguided construct or conclusion.
Is the very phrase, unadulterated word of God, even contained in the Canon, and would it have been included if God actually directed the composition of the Canon? The Canon, a work that was inspired by Emperor Constantine is nothing more than a good start. If I am right, what have Christians and others who have been influenced and lived their lives strictly by the Canon, missed out on. If my critics are correct, that the Canon is the exclusive and unadulterated word of Jesus Christ, is still to be seen.
What have the effected missed out on throughout canonical history, to include the entity that we refer to God, as a result of such super and self-imposed limitations?
Peace and Grace
