Just an FYI, #2 is way off. Yes, Constantine didn’t define the canon himself (he couldn’t have cared less about what it actually said), but he was the driving force behind it. He put his main religion fellow, Eusebius, on a mission to find a definitive text that he could place throughout all the churches, for political unification purposes. This text didnt exist, so he surveyed the churches to find a general consensus (which did not include Revelation! Constantine, alone, is the reason Revelation was included.. He liked it). The idea that there was already a “definitive canon” is simply not true, and it’s just absurd to say it was so in the early second century. That was absolutely not the case at all.. In fact, apart from Eusebius’ primary list of Scripture that was eventually “canonized,” there didn’t emerge a “definitive canon” until somewhere around the 7th century. Early Christians did not share the same understanding as Greco-Romans when it came to uniformity, so they had no business desiring a “canon” of Scripture. That was done because of a cultural infusion and political maneuvering, very much at the hand of Constantine.

See:
Constantine’s Bible – David Dungan;
The Biblical Canon – LM McDonald.

I would agree with the earlier poster that the Satan we find in Job is not clearly evil. He’s not burning in or presiding over a kingdom of the damned. He’s just some guy who’s been out walking through the earth and upon it (or some other quirky phrasing), who pops into heaven for a bit to talk to God. And God is perfectly happy to hand Job over to Satan to settle a bet. It seems that God is at least as evil as Satan in the Book of Job. So sure, we could say that afflicting someone like Job with the horrors he had to go through is an evil act, but the interactions between Satan and God would suggest that the former is not meant to be seen as the Epitome of All Evil in this particular story.

In relation to the clean and unclean animals in Noah’s ark, it’s a major flaw in the bible, what animals are clean and unclean was only set out in the
Mosaic laws later on!

Actually, the books Protestants removed were from the Old, not the New Testament. The same 27 books of the New Testament recognized by Rome are recognized by all Protestants.

And, by the way, Hieronymus, who gave us the Vulgate Latin version, also thought the apocryphal books were of a lesser status.

Alterations? Revisions?

To add another vein in the lines of Kreachure (‘though I am so late in reading this list), let me mention as examples 1 John 5:7 and Mark 16:9-20 in the King James Version.

Higher textual criticism, archaeology, and philological studies have done great strides since 1611…

It’s kind of interested that you left out the fact that there were actually two trees in Garden Eden. One of Knowledge and the other one was the tree of Good and Bad .)
