...rson from church history who opposed Jerome, as an authority to put the books back? Or remove others?It
all just seems like an endless spiral into chaos.From here I've read many things and have been looking at the formation of the Canon, inspiration if
scripture, how these things were decided and what the early church practice was in these matters. I don't really have a conclusive answer to any of this yet, except that I
don't believe that canon is (or should?) ever be completely closed. From my understanding so far, it would appear that the canonical lists were set as guidelines of what had been approved

...The next fifty years in this country (the UK), and the U.S. — the West in general especially really — is going to be very interesting for society; for the church. Mainly for the church. Society is going through a major shift, almost on a global scale. A great divide is coming and will hit the church over issues of sexuality and marriage. More so than it might already seem....Open Doors: Helping Persecuted Christians

...Open Doors: Helping Persecuted Christians:
Today a man from Open Doors came to speak to us about the Persecuted church – specifically those in North Korea. Due to the nature of his work, and the dangers that go with helping illegal churches within North Korea, there is no video of his talk to protect his own identity, and those he helps.Who is Open Doors?Open Doors supports persecuted Christians with Bibles, Christian materials, training, livelihood skills, advocacy - and in a whole host of other ways - so that they know they are not forgotten and can stand strong to serve their communities. So that they can give life....The Coming of Jesus: The Olivet Discourse – Part 1 Contents The...

(amongst other blogs) earlier on about the subject of "organic church" and its possible success and probable future failures. Now, I'll admit I didn't (don't?) know a great deal about
organic church other than I've heard the name thrown about before. According to the article it includes " at least three ingredients" to be counted as "organic". First being "Frustration
