They also forged certain rhapsodies under the name of "Sybbiline Oracles," and then adduce them as prophetic proofs of the truth of their religion.

They also interpolated certain clumsy forgeries as prophecies of Jesus into their copies of their Greek version of the Old Testament.7.

The present canon of the New Testament has never been sanctioned by the general consent of Christians.

The Syrian church rejects some of its books;--some of its books were not admitted until after long opposition, and not until several hundred years after Jesus.

The lists of what were considered as canonical books, differ in different ages, and some books now acknowledged by all Christians to be forgeries, were in the second and third centuries considered as equally apostolic as those now received, and as such, were publicly read in the churches.8.The reason why we have not now extant gospels, different and contradictory to those now received, is, because that the sect or party which finally got the better of its adversaries, and styled itself Catholic, or orthodox, took care to burn and destroy the heretics, and their gospels with them.
