Notes: The Woodbridge elders recommend the following Bible translations for our public worship and study: King James Version, New King James Version and American Standard Version, 1901 the development of lists of authentic New Testament books. For example, around 144, a renegade teacher by the name of Marcion rejected the Old Testament scriptures, denied the crucifixion of Christ, started his own church, started circulating a list of books he considered authoritative. The early Christians realized that due to the wide circulation of Marcion's canon, there needed to be a list of the books that were recognized as being inspired. Also during this time, many leaders in the church were starting to accept uninspired books such as the "First Epistle of Clement", the "Didache", the "Epistle of Barnabas", and the "Shepherd of Hermas". Still later around \ 303 A.D., the church experienced another period of persecution at the hands of the Emperor Diocletian. The Emperor set forth Services an edict to have all the books viewed as sacred by Christians Sunday Morning Bible Study 9:30 am destroyed by fire. Obviously this made deciding which books Sunday Morning Worship 10:30 am needed to be protected from this atrocity very important. Next Sunday Evening Worship 6:00 pm week we will continue our study of the New Testament. Wednesday Bible Study 7:30 pm
