Were most of the New Testament books written to and from Asia Minor? Which ones? Do any scholars accept that the “Apostolic Canon of scripture first formed … in Asia Minor”? Was it the Church of God and not the Church of Rome? Is it possible that the Church of God in Asia Minor had the New Testament canon from the beginning? Is there any historical evidence suggesting that the Apostle John passed the knowledge of the canon to Polycarp of Smyrna? What about the Harris Fragments? What about the Didache, 1 Clement (Letter to the Corinthians from the Romans), and the Murtorian Canon? Was there ‘a chain of custody’ of the New Testament books from the apostles to Polycarp? Did Polycarp quote the Hebrew, Byzantine, or Alexandrian text while quoting Matthew? Did Ignatius, Polycarp, Polycrates, and Serapion show that the Churches of God in Asia Minor and Antioch had the scriptures handed down from the apostles? Was that confirmed by Melito, Irenaeus and Tertullian? Did the ‘Nazarenes’ have the Old and New Testaments? Did the 405 A.D. ‘canon’ list from Roman pontiff Innocent I leave out the Book of Hebrews as scripture? If the “Catholic church gave the world the Bible,” which “catholic church” was most involved? Where did Jerome get his information on the correct books of the canon? Were the Waldensians involved in the preservation of the Textus Receptus? Who gave the world the Bible?
