No.

God is immutable: He does not change. He is perfect, and any change would be
for the worse.

Hi

I've found an interesting web page about the darkness at the time of the
death of Jesus and the date of His death.

Here's the url;

You are mistaken. The One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, which
is the Orthodox Church existed BEFORE the collection of the Scriptures
by ANY reckoning.

The Church wrote, collected, compiled and transmitted the body of the
canon. The church existed BEFORE the first book of the NT was written.

Yes, and the vast majority of those who claim to be Christians do not
follow Biblical doctrines. The Orthodox do. And always have.
