Marcion divided God in two, saying that one is good, the other judicial, and in so doing, takes
God away from both. He was controversial and did not teach according to the scripture and often
went against those that taught scripture and wanted to only put a bit of Paul and the disciples in
his teaching. He believed only the Gospel of Luke was valid and should have been in the New
Testament.
Montanus believed that he and two others could forgive sins and that New Jerusalem would
appear. This belief began in Asia, moved through Europe, and ended in North Africa. He claimed
he heard the holy spirit, and his teachings continued for centuries.
Lists made after Marion and before Athanasius were made over the next two hundred years and
were known as the New Testament. Origen expanded on the initial list in the Muration Fragment,
while Eusebius categorized the Christian writings.
Both Eastern and Western Christian traditions recognize Athanasius's List Athanasius as a strong
defender of faith despite initial disagreements. His legacy is vital to acknowledge, given his
controversial and iconic role during a crucial period for the church. According to historical
records, Athanasius, who was highly regarded as a leader in the Council of Nicaea, presented the
initial compilation of the 27 books in the New Testament in the year 367.
The effect of the Diocletian persecution During Diocletian's reign, he ordered the burning of all
churches and Christian scriptures, which resulted in the emergence of house churches as people
still gathered in their homes to worship. This led to the persecution of Christians. It is unclear
who issued the four edicts of 303-304, but violence still occurred despite the promise to avoid
bloodshed. Christian persecution occurred in the first to fourth centuries, spreading throughout
the empire with violence but failing to eradicate the faith.
The councils that closed the New Testament canon in the 390s Several councils were convened
to confirm the New Testament Canon, including the Council of Nicaea in 325 and the Council of
Carthage in 397. The Council of Hippo in 393 officially closed the Canon and provided a
comprehensive list of scripture, establishing the New Testament as we know it today, regarded as
divine and complete.
A Description of 2 New Testament Apocrypha 4 The Maccabees' stories explains the oppression
of Jewish customs and the transformation of Jerusalem into a Greek city. They led a successful
revolution, creating an independent Jewish state. These events shaped Judea's ideology and had a
lasting impact. 1 Maccabees legitimized the Hasmonean dynasty, while 2 Maccabees stressed the
importance of observing the divine covenant for Jewish well-being.
Current Day We can see now how the ideas of Western Civilization in Christianity may have
harmed Christianity today. Today, we can acknowledge that God exists and that there is a divine
trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, yet what we have a challenging time coming to
terms with is the correct way to follow him. We have complicated Christianity into different
beliefs and confused the one important commandment: to love each other. That is the general
purpose of scripture and Christianity, and we have become so adamant about power, wealth, and
fame that we have lost sight of the goal.
