***The letters of the Apostles were circulating the churches as soon as they were written.***
Dude; there weren’t any Xerox machines. There weren’t electronic copies emailed out en masse.
There were also hundreds of various writings out there including the Gospel of Judas. The Church was the entity that determined what the Bible was.
***If you’ve got a “manual”, then I suggest you get a Bible and start reading.***
The Bible is our gift to you. I’m a little disappointed in the level of your gratitude, though.
Not a dude. The only “gift” I need, I already have. Thanks, but no thanks.
