New Testament Canon

Bubby,

I've been meaning to ask you this for a long time.

If modern scholarship could provide us with documents regarding the life of Christ that were written decades earlier than the synoptic gospels and found to be consistent with their teachings would you be open to the idea of including them in the New Testament Canon?

let's talk about alcohol consumption...

advent season

let us start a discussion, in this season of advent.  at church this morning, the speaker spoke about a few things that I know will begin some opinion sharing (dan, josiah, others)  

He shared that we as a culture spend approx. 18 bil. on makeup a year and 10 or 15 bil. on perfume a year.  He also shared that approx. 10 and 15 bil. could potentially eliminate the H20 problems our World has and illiteracy.  So, my question on the way home from church was: Will our world ever have enough change to have this effect on such problems?  Sure, I can decide to spend less on gifts and give more towards Africa, but that's just me.  That's just a few hundred dollars.  AND, if enough people did actually decide to exercise spending in this fashion, how long will the effect last?  Would that 18 billion simply help the water for a year or a few years?  It came down to how we are cursed by our own consumerism.  Hmm.  These are difficult and challenging things to think about as I am about to begin a career and actually for once have some money.

share.
