Anyone can answer. I'll put this up for a vote to see who gets best answer. Just ten true or false questions:
1) Constantine did not "found" Christianity, but legalized it in the Roman Empire.
2) The purpose of the Council of Nicea was to decide whether or not Jesus actually WAS God.
3) Christianity wasn't that heavily persecuted in the beginning.
4) The Dead Sea Scrolls revealed that the Bible had been BADLY mistranslated.
5) The Bible was written over a span of 1500 years, by many different authors.
6) In 90 AD, in the Council of Jamnia, the Old Testament Canon was officially decided, but it had been decided a long time before that unofficially.
7) It was a heretic named Marcion who caused an official canon of the New Testament to be agreed upon.
8) December 25th was named as Christ's birthday to make the conversion easier for pagans.
9) The Apocrypha isn't included in most Bibles because the councils didn't like what was written in the books.
Continued for number 10.
