Sub-section One: The reality of the Books

The four above-mentioned Books constitute just a portion of tens of books that were circulated during the early Christian era and were invalidated by the first well-known Ecumenical Council. It is noticed that when the Books and Epistles of the New Testament were written, they were not deemed sacred or divine inspiration.[1] We find the evidence to this in what Luke wrote in the introduction to his Gospel, where he says: “Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus (a personality unknown to the Christians) that thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.”[2] It is a text that does not need any comment.
