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?If you are so keen as to remember all of what I said then maybe lets put the peices together.. together. If I know the 66 books of the bible are real because I have experienced the God of the bible in a way just as real to me as what Paul or any of the diciples experienced, then what does it say about Apocrypha?
After all I am willing to acknoweledge and teach from them, but not contradict what the 66 books say. Why? Because nothing from the Apocrypha was confirmed as the 66 books grouped with the bible. were.
If you are curious about my experiences do a search on some of my past threads.
