Each church or congregation defines it's own canon: the Copts and the Ethiopians
and the Assyrian Church of the East all have canons that differ from the Roman.
(Even Luther was trying to make his own canon for a while.) And we don't see much
debate having gone into the Roman one - it's basically what Athanasius put out
in a pastoral letter that was adopted at the Synod at Carthage.
So we are free to make our own.
The Ebionites according to
[Epiphanius in Panarion Book 1 30.13.6](https://gnosis.study/library/%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0/ENG/Epiphanius%20of%20Salamis%20-%20The%20Panarion,%20Book%20I%20(Sects%201-46).pdf)
had a Matthew without our first
2 chapters. Which means no virgin birth (something there is no strong need for)
which means that Jesus' father was Joseph. That result is Jesus
is of the Davidic line, which is a Hebrew prerequisite for being a Messiah.
(Which may be the whole point for adding it to the early christian Matthew.)
The Ebionites held that Jesus was born a man by Joseph, and acquired His
divine qualities by the Holy Spirit at his baptism. The Ebionites celebrate
Epiphany as celebration of His baptism by the Holy Spirit, and did not
practice paedobaptism.
If we build on the Ebionites we can start with Matthew, without the
first 2 chapters:
[Epiphanius in Panarion Book 1 30.13.6](https://gnosis.study/library/%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0/ENG/Epiphanius%20of%20Salamis%20-%20The%20Panarion,%20Book%20I%20(Sects%201-46).pdf)
A consequence of Jesus being born of Joseph is that he is of the lineage of
David, a prerequisite to the Hebrews for Jesus being a Messiah. The Ebionites
held that Jesus was born a man by Joseph, and acquired His divine qualities
by the Holy Spirit at his baptism. The Ebion Knights celebrate Epiphany a
celebration of His baptism by the Holy Spirit, and did not practice paedobaptism.
The Ebionites held that Jesus acquired his divinity at his baptism:
"this day I have begotten thee". The Holy Spirit was that dove that
entered him by God's will, hence they're non/anti-Trinitarian, as was
the early church - Tertullian et al.
We read Acts as a historical document, being a brief to the Roman
procecutor of Paul, intended to help get Paul acquitted, and hence avoid

(or Luke), it lacks the Virgin Birth, so in that sense we would be classed
as Nestorian. We are this in congruence with the Church of the East.
### Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek?
Jerome and lots of others make clear that the [[EarlyEbioniteMatthew]] was
written in Aramaic using Hebrew letters, so we would probably follow
the Assyrian [[ChurchOfTheEastPeshitta]] (ACoE) aramaic text, which they
claim to have gotten from the Apostles Thomas and Bartholomew, and have
preserved in Aramaic ever since. It resolves a whole lot of little issues,
(see We ask [[WastheNewTestamentReallyWritteninGreek]]), but with regard
tp the Ecanon, they don't have Revelation, Jude, 2Peter, 2John, 3John in theirs.
We ask [[WastheNewTestamentReallyWritteninGreek]] and clearly the answer is no,
so we use the Aramaic [[ChurchOfTheEastPeshitta]].
If you don't have the Paulines, you don't have to have Revelation 2,3 or
James or Jude, so you could follow the ACoE and drop those 5. (On the other
hand, they may be absent from the CoE canon because they were not yet
circulating at the time the canon was finalized, < 180 AD.)
Similar to the [approach of Carlstadt](.../JWO/carlstadt-research.html)
at the beginning of the reformation, we could order the books by
importance, or rate them on a scale of 1-10 (lowest most important).
importance, or rate them on a scale of 1-10 (lowest most important),
with Matthew the sole 1, and those 5 books further down the list.
Anything attributed to Paul is probably written later by the Marcionites,
e.g. (1Cor. 15:26) - we ask if [[DidMarcionWritePaulsLetters]]?
We feel that we can add any of the books known to be circulating up to Nicea.
So we can add [[TheDidache]] as a community rule, and anything from of the

We could add back books that were early christian: pre-Nicaea,
pre-Constantine, pre-Roman (perhaps pre-Greek), pre-Latin emendations.
So we can add [[TheDidache]] as a community rule, and perhaps things from of
the NagHamadhi library; there have been more early texts discovered in the last
180 years, than in the previous 1800!
### Church of the East Canon, without Paul
Is Hebrews Pauline? We think not. Tertullian says it was by Barnabas.
If was hold that [[PaulApostleOfTheHeretics]], we should drop the "Pauline" Writings:
* what letters are not Pauline/Marcions? Hebrews?
* Jude and the Apocalypse of John were excluded from the
[[ChurchOfTheEastPeshitta]] - both are very critical of Paul.
We can drop the Pauline letters, and consider dropping the Apocalypse of John
and Jude as they are not in CoE canon. On the other hand, they may be absent
from the CoE canon because they were not yet circulating at the time the canon
was finalized.
Is Hebrews Paul? We think not. Tertullian says it was by Barnabas.
