Pope CLEMENT I ( - )
free-audio-books.info/christia...
"First Clement is one of the oldest Christian documents outside the New Testament canon. The epistle was written by Clement, one of the elders of the church of Rome, to the church in Corinth, where it was read for centuries. Indeed, historians generally hold First Clement to be an authentic document dating from the first century. From the fifth century to the eighth century, many of the eastern churches accepted the First Epistle of Clement as canonical scripture as it is clearly listed among the canonical books of the New Testament in "Canon 85" of the Canons of the Apostles. However, by the end of the eighth century, none of the ancient churches, eastern or western, included First Clement in any official listing of the canonical New Testament"

    Up until the 300s AD, when the church began to make things "universal" in various ways, the various churches had been at their own bishop and elder's discretion reading writings for edification. They began to develop a universal NT canon that would be for all churches. Eusebius' church history discusses the books considered and the disputed ones. One thing we often neglect is the Bishops disputing them, we don't know who or their spiritual condition. Acts 20 Paul prophesied among the Ephesians elder's wolves would arise among them. Jude speaks of false teachers among his audience etc. Some of them disputed 2 Peter, James, Hebrews, and Revelation. The fact they disputed these tells me a lot about them. They also disputed: The Didache of the 12 Apostles (elements echo throughout 2nd century writings like fasting Wed and Friday), Epistle of Barnabas (said by Clement of Alexandria to be the Barnabas that traveled with the apostle Paul), Shepherd of Hermas (called scripture by Irenaeus around 180 AD) and First Clement to the Corinthians and others. The first release of the Apostolic Constitutions in 390 AD yielded the first cut of the reduced NT canon. This had 28 books including First Clement.

    LOL...that means your research is not enough...The Roman Church is clear VISIBLE leadership in ancient Christianity to the point that even a Pagan hostile to Christianity knew about this....The Pagan Tacitus said... "Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judæa, the first source of the evil, but even in ROME, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their CENTER and become popular. " -----TACITUS, Annals (written ca. AD 116), book 15, chapter 44. See that Rome was the CENTER Of Christendom...

    I often wondered who he was writing to. Gentiles had no knowledge of the people and sayings of YAH and the those ppl of the old testement. They never grew up reading the torah. Maybe he was writing the tribes of isreal that had known of all for- father's. And were their fore-fathers. Even gentiles today that never have grown up rwading the torah have no idea who some of these ppl are or the sayings of the prophets. Or maybe the gentiles were having the torah read to them and now knew who clement was speaking of.

    Victor Tellez the Jewish Temples allowed all who were earnestly seeking to hear/discuss theology with polite manners to come to the Temples. We see this in the NT during a few interactions of the apostles with others. Those day saw the temple much like a forums when not performing exclusively Jewish ceremonies. Though I am not Catholic, and Believe Jesus was promoting a purer Hebraic anti-statist teaching far flung from any modern Christianity, these were not unknown stories to the gentiles of theological leanings

    The simple fact all miss or attempt to rationally over look is that the word "God" is a title and not a name. Through history all religions has gods whose names are known. A man doesn't introduce himself as "Man" as that would sound silly. Hi my name is Man and I am your man or in this case the scriptures would say My name is God and I am your god. I don't think so.

    Victor Tellez The Torah refers to our singular holy creator as Elohim אלוהים, pluralized honorific of 1. El אל, meaning: “power(s), authority(ies), Ruler(s), prime force(s)... etc... 2. Adonai ‏אדוני, meaning “my master”. 3.Yahava יהוה, the personal name given and known as the tetragrammaton; containing “father, love, Am, and other hebrew phrases folded in one utterance likened to a breath of nefesh, or spirit. Typically rendered Jehova, Yaweh, etc. by gentiles as the use of it became taboo. 4. hashem ‏השם, meaning “the name”. God is a pagan word meaning nothing of import. Indeed, moreso than mere names, the entire “OT” excerpts mildly altered from the Holy Torah is null as it is retched out of the Hebrew tongue. Hebrew CANNOT linguistically be translated satisfactorily into English. The manifold of the multiple meanings for each word are use in conjunctions while translators pick and choose what they wish to use al a carte. Hebrew holds meaning on the letter level, unique apart from lesser languages. Those who have not read the Torah in Hebrew have arguably never known the “OT” at all in fact.
