You mentioned "Catholic" epistles. The early Christian church to the reformation is in essence one and only one- catholic though not technically with that name right away but still the same church. The Catholic church chose with exclusive authority which manuscripts to include and had the sole and absolute authority to finalize which manuscripts and books should be included. The reformation confused and divided the Christian church even till this presentation which emphasized that there are Catholics and non Catholic Christians in the early times before the reformation in the 1500s. The truth will set us free.
There are only Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christians really. From 1054 til like protestants. The rest were mainly heretics. Before 1054ish there was one Church. Not necessarily Roman Catholic but United as one church. East and West
Nothing stopping you from reading it privately. As long as a book isn't outright heretical, canon just means what is read in your local church. Nothing stopping you from reading other 'non canonical' books privately, it just means it will never be read officially in your local church. Canon is descriptive not prescriptive. Canon is basically what your local church reads officially. E.g if you're Ethiopian orthodox book of Enoch is canonical' for you.
@@jeremiahcaballero3686 I mean even the canonical gospels have elements that technically contradict each other. The point isn't to believe everything it says to the letter, that's why authority doesn't come from scriptures but from the Church itself/herself. Book of Enoch has contradictory statements too but it doesn't stop Apostles quoting from it and clearly showing that they have read and studied it.
@@lorenioooooas theirs no contradictions in the gospels just misunderstandings. And no, Jesus has quoted from the book of Enoch. The gospels have its authority because they were written in the 1st century. The gospel of Thomas was written in the 2nd century when Thomas was dead for 150 years. So no bro do actual research not 1 sided opinions that fit your predetermined notions
keep up the good work. GOD bless your service and enlarge your territory.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I apologize for the late reply.

@@lorenioooooas This was the Catholic Church in union with the Petrine Primacy.

Thank you so much for your support!
I am disappointed the Gospel of Thomas did not make the cut. Such a rich and fascinating book.
Better luck next time Thomas!

Meanwhile evengelicals: bible fell from sky.
Says no evangelic
As an "evangelical", I am aware of nothing like that. Very strange comment...unless divisiveness is your aim.
@@davebarr9378Catholics believe they are collectively God and are divine apparently.
