Today, we celebrate the seventh Ecumenical Council. When we have discussions with Roman Catholics, especially, we call ourselves the Church of the 7 Councils.

When talking with Protestants, some are not aware of these Councils, but they formulate the basic common Christian heritage of us all, with the exception of the 7th as it condemned iconoclasm.

Anyway, you may know that, for Christians theJehovah's Witness, Mormonism, and oneness Pentecostals are considered heretical in doctrine. You may know how to show it from the Bible, but it's nice to know the historical basis for that scriptural interpretation.

First seven ecumenical councils - Wikipedia

Here is a good starting point. The first 4 most here would find especially interesting.

You may want to consider electronic software vs books. The above is just an option based on what I know about you. It comes with several versions and several interlinears that you can see on that site or you can look around at others. I can give you a referral code that would save 100$ off of any package if you are interested.

Something to think about.

I'm definitely going to think about it. Didn't know about this. Thanks.

I want to get a copy of this Bible:

1599 Geneva Bible

Do you know what the “forgotten translation of the Bible” is and the impact it had on English history and the founding of our nation? It was the Bible used by William Shakespeare, John Milton, and John Bunyan. It angered a powerful king. It sailed with Christians across the Atlantic Ocean in...

I've got one and it reads almost identical to the KJV. I'll look see if I can find an online copy so you can compare.

Another good one to have on hand is Young's Literal Translation by Robert Young.

I have that one also.

I'm going to add the one @foszoe mentioned Interlinear Bible. I want to build a hands on library. I think it would be wiser than digital at this time. At least you can still study with a library on hand when the power goes out or internet is down. Plus you can pass your library to someone else later on so they can gain knowledge.
