Books of the Bible - Genesis is survivor!

[Cincinnatus]

How many books will we eventually keep in the NT for the final group, Cinci ?

Five

[Cincinnatus]

Six voters, anymore?

[Cincinnatus]

I'll be closing this round later tonight, so if there's any last minute voters, post before then

[Cincinnatus]

1Ti 6:7    For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.

1Ti 6:8    But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.

1Ti 6:9    People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.

1Ti 6:10    For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

1Ti 6:11    But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

I'm going to try and keep points small this survivor, instead of crazy (10-5) voting numbers.  Eventually, the final should consist of NT/OT, so two groups are made.  

In the case of a tie, the book with the most votes from the previous round only, will be eliminated.

Our first task, eliminating NT books.  We will eliminate only NT books for several rounds.  

The voting structure will be as follows; You will make the following eliminate votes for 3 Books (3-2-1).  You will have one vote to keep a book.  We will eliminate 2 NT Books.

This will be the last round we will eliminate NT books for a while.  After this round we will begin with the OT.

Act 28:25    They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: "The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your forefathers when he said through Isaiah the prophet:

Act 28:26    "'Go to this people and say, "You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving."

Act 28:27    For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'

Act 28:28    "Therefore I want you to know that God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!"
