Frank is amazing. But I'll stick with the Church that Jesus founded and the apostolic Tradition that they taught and practiced

It's interesting, Protestants don't seem to have a problem with Methodist, Presbyterian, Calvin's and anglican churches but when it comes to the Catholic Church the church founded by Christ suddenly there's a problem.

To all those who say, that catholics gave us the Bibleš¤¦āāļøš¤¦āāļø It's not true! Firs of all it is very prideful from any church to proclaim such thing! Not people compiled it, but the perfect WORD itself did and the Holy Spirit through people! Different church fathers had different lists of the canon. They were imperfect, fallible and often contradicted each other. Not to mention, that ortodoxs say the same as catholics, that they are the right church who gave us the Bible, so who is right?š Actually nobodyš¤·āāļø As you see below many CHF promoted the protestant Bibleš¤·āāļø but we never claim, that we are the one who compiled it, bcs we know, that the Word itself did it and the HS! Btw, The Deuterocanonical books are contradicting the 66 books and are often historically ubreliable, that's why they shouldn't be in the canon, we should consider them only as inspired, but not canonical! Just a few example of different CHF who matched with the protestant view. The earliest complete list of NT books was for years thought to be Athanasiusā Festal Letter of 367. However a often-overlooked list exists nearly a century earlier (c 250) in Origenās Homilies on Joshua. Michael J. Krueger has a video, if you are interested more. I can't put here the l1nk. But it goes by the tile: The heresy of orthodoxy - when was the earliest complete list of NT books... Jerome's Canon is amongst the first one to match the Protestant Canon. He lists the books of the canon three times. In each case, his canon matches the Protestant canon, which is why even Luther's nemesis Cardinal Cajetan (agreeing with Jerome) at the time of the Reformation also rejected the DT in his commentaries. Rome only official set their Canon at Trent (The councils of hippo and orange were not ecumenical & were not universally binding. Which is why the Catholics, EO & OO all have different canons) And number of other CHFs (see below) are very close and remember that there was no universally agreed on canon for the OT. No CHF agreed on 100% and many of these fathers definitely had a bi- or tri-fold schema for writings, much like the Protestant confessions where the books of the Apocrypha are considered good to read (inspired) but are not considered part of scripture (not canonical). Both Origen and Athanasius list something similar to the Protestant Canon. Athanasius in particular only differ's from the protestant canon in that he omits Esther and includes Baruch and the Letter as part of Jeremiah. He probably also includes 2 Esdras as well, although that's not entirely clear It was mainly Augustine that accepted the books of the Apcrypha as part of the Canon (as seen by his dominance over the Synod of Hippo) and later Latin fathers after him. The early Greek fathers - Origen, Athanasius, Gregory of Nazianzus, etc. tended to place them outside the canon. However, there was not any uniformity about the OT canon - no really has there ever been. The Bryennios List - This is the earliest known Christian canon list of the O.T., dating to the early second century. It was found in the same manuscript as the Didache and it corresponds exactly to the Protestant/Jewish canon, depending on what is covered by "Jeremiah" and "Esdras A/Esdras B." It has some interesting ordering. It does not list NT books. Melito - this is another very early canon list, possibly the earliest. Typically dated to 170 AD. Identical to the Protestant OT list except he omits Esther. However, this leaves him at 21 books instead of the traditional 22, which has to lead some to speculate that the omission of Esther is a scribal error. He may also include Wisdom in his canon or he may be saying that Proverbs is wisdom - it isn't clear. Origen - Origen's lists are unclear and only available in secondary works (Eusebius for the OT, Rufinius for the NT), but his OT list largely agrees with Melito. Origen's NT list is unclear, but that may be as much the fault of Rufinius as Origen. Cyril of Jerusalem - His OT is the Protestant OT, but he includes Baruch and the Epistle as part of Jeremiah. There is evidence he accepted the extra chapters of Daniel as well. His NT does not include Revelation. He doesn't use the word "canon" but instead, "undisputed" - homologoumena. He was also one of the first to introduce the idea of a secondary rank of books for the apocryphal writings - those which may also be read or cited in churches. Athanasius - He established the modern NT. His OT is the Protestant OT, but without Esther and he explicitly includes Baruch and the Epistle in Jeremiah. He almost certainly includes 2 Esdras as well. He also specifically refers to a tri-fold schema: the Scriptures which hold the "springs of salvation"; the books "outside," which have not been canonized but have been prescribed by our Fathers as good to read by the catechumens; and third the books of the heretics. Synod of Laodicea - This list from AD 380 is the closest to the Protestant canon. The only variants are that it includes Baruch and the Epistle as part of Jeremiah and omits Revelation. Hilary of Poitiers - One of the earliest Latin Fathers, his list is identical to the Protestant OT with the addition of the Epistle to Jeremiah (Baruch is not mentioned). He says that "some add Tobit and Judith" which would get his list to 24 books, the number of letters in the Greek alphabet. Also, pls go and listen Wess Huff what had really happened at the council of N

Cross Examined
What is Frank's pet peeve with the Catholic Church? Watch as he asks a Catholic student to share his personal experience. Is it possible that both traditions might be missing something vitally important?šš±Ā https://youtu.be/3p33QiwFxBk
