Hello, here I am back again with a simple question.

Is the so called Pick and mix approach to the NT valid from a laymans perspective this seems like a reasonable approach as there can never be a 'definitive' version of the NT and the theology does seem at least to the layman very different from each other in an actual sense and a theological sense. Is it not possible to effectively disregard for example Acts and Revelations; on what authority does modern Christians accept them on other than the councils? And would it be a reasonable position (as far as Christianity can be reasonable )
for a Christian to reject them.

So is the pick and mix approach valid from a historical and a theological sense?

From a historical standpoint: No.

From a theological standpoint: "Yes." People can believe whatever they want. The only problem is when they think the text says what they believe. That may make the answer a "No."
