By the Book.

I'd like to take a moment and discuss what most Christian churches consider to be their canon.
Not out of boredom or the mere need to be provocative, but because it is necessary.

After some self-admittedly limited research (but rather thorough analysis), it appears to me that most of the Catholic bible is canonical, and there may be some books existing outside of this collection that are canonical as well.

How do you sort through what seems to be mass confusion, disarray, and sometimes even anger?

Sober spiritual assessment, prayer, and a meeting of minds who are genuinely interested in finding the truth.

We start with the principle that a book cannot be canonical if it is inconsistent with the principles already existent in the rest of known and accepted scripture. It's a very simple rule of thumb.

We can begin, for example, with the Book of Judith.

One may quibble over the details of this particular story (potential transcription errors), but what can one potentially glean from past historical events that actually did take place? What can this tell us about the battle over climate change that has taken place even within the past year? (Yes, climate change is real. Yes, it is anthropogenic, but "anthropogenic" takes on an entirely new context here.)

Another book I care to highlight for discussion right now is 2 Esdras.

This apparently canonical book of prophecy seems to reveal some meaningful discussion and insight concerning the Apocalypse, and even the Reptilian nature amongst other things.
To me, there seems to be a smoking gun here, but further discussion seems to be warranted.

We can talk more later concerning matters like these, but our time seems to be limited.
