In your ignorance, you chose Athanasius (like any fundy would) only to be shown you were wrong. So I ask you again, what is the basis for your belief that the 66 books of the Bible are the inspired word of God? Do you have a basis for such a belief?
you know you are circling the bowl don't you? You have forgone a line by line exchange for what you believe to be the key issue of your system of belief. Unfortunatly for you and your arguement you have completely misjudged the issue here. My FAITH does not hing on what yours once did. My faith is what the deciples built their faith on, What Paul built his faith on, and what every bible believing member of the Church has built their faiths on since the beginning.. Do you know what that is?
You really are going round in a circle, aren't you? Never mind me. I asked you what your basis is to say that the 66 books of the Bible are the word of God. You said the Apocrypha cannot countermand the Holy word of God in the 66 books. You now say "I know the bible is the inspired word of God because God in that bible makes a series of promises to the potential believer, and has full filled those promises". I ask you again, how do you know it's the 66 books that are the word of God and not the apocrypha and not the further additional books in the Orthodox church? What is your basis for saying that? Did God appear to you in a dream and told you the 66 books were indeed his word and none else? Surely you won't let me slip in, say, the Book of Mormon or the Apocrypha? What is your basis?
