Hello, my name is Forrest\u00a0Reineke\u00a0and I\u2019m\u00a0<\/span>an<\/span>\u00a0First Year Economics major here at Butler.\u00a0<\/span>I\u2019m from St. Louis, Missouri. I love to watch professional<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0basketball, MMA, and soccer<\/span>. I\u2019m a United Methodist and I was very active in my churches Youth Group back in Missouri.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I chose this course because it fills the TI requirement and I thought it\u2019d be cool to look at the Bible from the perspective of academia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bible is, to me, a collection of different chapters written by\u00a0<\/span>assorted\u00a0<\/span>followers of God<\/span>. They\u2019re talking<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>about their interactions with the Holy Trinity<\/span>\u00a0and trying to help others grow in their faith as well by spreading the good work of God.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As I said above the Bible was written by a bunch of different people.<\/span>\u00a0They all have different life journeys, levels of importance, and times that they were alive. The area of this question that I know the most about is how they\u00a0<\/span>chose what was in the Bible. Early church leaders got together and formed many creeds, namely the\u00a0<\/span>apostles<\/span>\u00a0creed, the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>athanasian<\/span>\u00a0creed<\/span>, and the\u00a0<\/span>nicene<\/span>\u00a0creed. These outlined what would be accepted into the Bible and what wouldn\u2019t be by the people who assembled all these different books into the\u00a0<\/span>\u201cBible.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever I looked up \u201cwhat\u2019s in the Bible\u201d a bunch of kids show things come up. If you look up \u201cBible<\/span>\u201d then a bunch of different online versions of the Bible show up.\u00a0<\/span>Finally<\/span>\u00a0if you look up \u201cCanon\u201d it\u2019s nothing but\u00a0<\/span>cameras.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I suppose I really have no clue as to whether their information is credible. One of my go\u00a0<\/span>to\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0when trying to figure out credibility is how official does the website look. A<\/span>nother one is when was the content published, but\u00a0in regards to\u00a0the Bible I\u2019m not sure that matters.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
