Yes, that's from Nicene and Post Nicene Fathers. I have the volume in my library. Is there a point here?

Notes.
Ancient Epitome of Canon XXIV.
Let nothing besides the canonical Scriptures be read in church.
This is Canon xxxvj. of Hippo., 393. The last phrase allowing the reading of the “passions of the Martyrs” on their Anniversaries is omitted from the African code.
Johnson.
These two books [i.e. the two Maccabees] are mentioned only in Dionysius Exiguus’s copy. See Can. Ap. ult., Can. Laod. ult.
“Boniface,” i.e., Bishop of Rome.

The scriptures had been canonized 300 years before the New Testament was written...
David, I am assuming you were tired when you read my post.
Hi again Daniel, yes, it's true, I was tired"This message in Revelation in referring to the book of Revelation itself. The scriptures had been canonized 300 years before the New Testament was written and yet since then 27 books have been added with the addition of the New Testament. When the book of Revelation was written the New Testament had not been canonized and were not contained in one book as we know today as the Bible. It wasn’t until over 200 years later that the Bible was canonized into one book. So Revelation 22:18 is not saying that God will not add anything further to the Bible or that He will not reveal anything new thru divine revelation after it was written, it is simply saying that no one will add to the book of Revelation."
Yes, that's from Nicene and Post Nicene Fathers. I have the volume in my library. Is there a point here?
Thanks. People should read the sources instead of hearsay. Great post.Someone asked for the source, so I posted it. that's all. Thanks for asking.
Hi again Daniel, yes, it's true, I was tired
The question(s) that I was/am interested in having you answer for me is when, where, and by whom/by which Jewish council were the OT Scriptures canonized because, to the best of my knowledge anyway, we don't know if such a thing ever happened prior to the 1st Century.
Thanks!

footnote may apply: Any book outside of AND opposed to Scripture at all, cannot clean anything, hands, mind nor heart nor anything.
That's a misconception.I agree. That is the context and the plain meaning of the same. What’s interesting is that Revelation was one of the last books accepted in the canon of scripture.
It's still not considered canon in the Eastern Orthodox Church.That's a misconception.
Who was authorized to canonize?
Where is it written that somebody could?
It's still not considered canon in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Yes it was and that was Synod 397, but my canon of scripture is missing the book of Tobit and the two books of Maccabees.Revelation was accepted in the council of Carthage.

Only Georgian orthodox accepts 4 Maccabees.Macc 1&2 or 3&4?
Carthage was a local council in the west. It has no impact on the Eastern churches.Revelation was accepted in the council of Carthage.
