Frank is often asked the question: “What books should be in the Bible?” which leads to other questions like, “The Roman Catholics and Protestants have different books in their Bibles; why?” It is important that we know how we got our Bible and why some books were rejected. Even though some books did not make it into the Biblical canon, does that mean they hold no value? Frank explains the answer to these three questions here. Check it out!

Most Christians don’t learn anything about the earliest Christian history.
Those who do, typically learn a canned narrative telling you how the church of popes and martyrs won out against external enemies (called “pagans”) and internal enemies (called “heretics”).

It’s time to stop ignoring the creators of early Christianity. It’s time to stop
marginalizing figures whose life and thought is so helpful for developing an authentic and philosophically-informed spirituality today. It’s time to embrace the heretics as the true fathers and mothers of a spiritual assembly. If Jesus spoke to the poor and the outcast, he spoke to heretics.

What united these figures? One simple thing: gnosis. Gnosis is not
information, it is deep knowledge, redeeming knowledge, transformative
learning. Christians who preached secret knowledge were called gnostics. In some cases, they called themselves gnostics. In others, they were called gnostics by their enemies.

A gnostic is a knower—a person who takes faith and transmutes it into spiritual knowledge. They stated reasons for their faith, and spoke in terms that transcended normal rationality. They were not afraid to speak against the majority, or to be countercultural. In being disruptive and radical, they followed the pattern set by Jesus himself.

This is spiritual studies session 3. Ancient Gnosticism is only known to us by grace of discovering texts long buried. This early form of Christianity took a polarizing stance, melding with other elements of the ancient past, Judaism, paganism, Neo-Platonism, etc. This talk gives an overview of the cosmogeny, cosmology, it's context, and its place in history.

In this episode, Megan and Bart discuss the "origin of the canon," meaning: who chose the books that made it into the Bible, and why did they choose these 27?" They address related issues, such as:

-books, letters, and gospels that were considered authoritative by some early Christians, but were ultimately rejected on one basis or another

-early New Testament manuscripts that actually DO contain some rejected texts

-criteria that were used to determine which texts to include

-proto-orthodox church fathers and their influence

-what information early church fathers did--and did not--have to base their decisions on

You may have heard about the Ethiopian servant who got baptized. The story is well-known to most believers and it's mentioned in Acts 8: 29 - 39. Many believe that it's here that the beginning of Christianity took place in Ethiopia. But it’s actually not.

There’s something much more shocking going on here and you might want to stick around until the end of the video because we will be revealing exactly what it is.

The Mysterious Ethiopian Bible: Exploring the Secrets
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppvh5tzrgc4

The Ethiopian Bible is one of the most mysterious and controversial books that ever existed. Even the country itself is shrouded in mysteries that can’t be explained but that’s a story for another day. Ethiopia is home to one of the oldest civilizations in the world and is the only country in Africa that was not colonized, and because of that, they can trace their lineage all the way back to Ham, one of the sons of Noah.

Beyond Augustine is a church history and theological documentary that examines the free will debate in light of the Early Church and the Gnostics. Did Augustine corrupt the church with Manichean or Gnostic doctrine? Is Calvinism or Reformed Theology really orthodox and historic Christianity, as Calvinists claim? Or are the Calvinists and Augustinians the spiritual descendants of the Gnostics and Manicheans? Were the Pelagians really the heretics in their free will debate with Augustine? These are the type of controversial questions Jesse Morrell examines in this documentary. www.OpenAirOutreach.com
