It says on page 5 that 13 books in the NT were letters, written by Paul, to different churches and individuals. Were these the only letters Paul wrote to these people, and if there were more then why were these 13 letters chosen to be put into the NT over other letters and why are they significant.

On page one, the article says, “the real essence of Christianity”… Which sounds like no reason for a question, but it made me think about different variations of Christianity.. Catholic, Protestant, etc. Do the differences make them wrong? I don’t mean wrong in like a bad way.. But my grandpa is Episcopalian, and I know he prays and gives every thought to God. He truly worships Him and rests all his anxieties on the Lord. I feel as though our form of Christianity is too exclusive? I’m not sure. I just feel like judgement is too strong on certain things, like forms of Christianity, that may not necessarily be a life or death issue..

Yeah, I really dont think this is the right topic…oh well.

First, who were the Flavian emperors mentioned on the bottom of page 5?

Second, Who were “Lightfoot, Tischendorf, Tregelles…” mentioned on page 9??” (These sound more like names from the Lord of the Rings or Narnia than ancient historians or scholars or whoever they were.)

I am not sure if this is where I am supposed to be posting this, but it is late and this will have to do. Question: What errors do exist in the new testament, and how are we to treat these errors?

I’m excited to learn more about God’s word with the remainder of our class and even though it looks like I’m daydreaming all the time, I really am listening and taking to heart what is being said. I appreciate your occasional rants about subjects somewhat unrealted It’s been a fun year so far … Let’s hope it gets even “funner”

the former picture was of the Aleppo Codex from Deuteronomy.

The new picture is of the John Rylands papyrus fragment of the Gospel of John (the oldest known manuscript fragment of the NT)

Is that a photo of a New Testament document?
