What are you talking about? Lectures? We don't have that we have sermons where we study the Bible. Currently we are in Revelation.

God chose the books. Dude what are you even talking about? We are Christians we don't do councils. I know the Roman senates had them so I mean maybe Roman Catholics do them because Roman is in their name and the pope lives in Rome so ok. But we worship God not the pope.
The catholic mass has 4 readings from the Bible. It's usually one from the old testament, one from psalms (sung), one epistle, and one gospel.
I never once heard the Bible being read in a Roman Catholic church so you must've went to a weird one.
OP do not listen to the above posters. They are out to deceive you.
May I ask what kind of church you go to? Is it a Baptist church? May I also ask what kind of Bible you use? Do you by any chance use the KJV?
Where do you think the Bible comes from?
It didn't just fall from the sky, there were many debates in the early church about which books to include in the Bible, the Apostolic churches, as in, the churches that descend from the apostles of Christ and their disciples.
