Gold is a rare metal even though a majority of the population might own a small amount of gold and even though nearly everyone has seen gold in America.
Gold is still rare.
The Sacred Scripture was rare in the early Church.

May I suggest you invest in a set of the Early Church Fathers. Try reading for a change.

I suggest you read from the links I have posted.
I never said that the ENTIRE Early Church was Nomadic during the ENTIRE period from AD 1 to AD 400.

However, there absolutely were some very turbulent periods of time, in that 400 years, and there were millions of very good Christians who NEVER read the Bible from themselves.

The Faith was an ORAL tradition. Even my FR debate opponents on this thread have resorted to posting links on some points which ALSO reference the “Oral Tradition” in their links.

Sacred Scripture was rate, fragile, expensive and only the ELITE had access to it.

The rest had it read to them.
