Dear Mark 13:13 & Catholics

[FallentoReason]

So would it be safe to say that in your opinion, it was a fully human process, which evidently involved cherry picking those documents that focused on Jesus' "humanity" the most?

I gave you the historical answer. We don't "cherry pick" I'm afraid. Nor did the Jews for that matter.

The Jews were at least honest enough to leave both creation accounts in there (out of a possible original 4 I believe) instead of choosing the better one.

It's clearly cherry picking that defined the NT. If you're arguing for authenticity and reliability because we supposedly know for a "fact" who wrote what in the current NT, then why is it in actuality that e.g. half of Paul's epistles are pseudonymous? I'm assuming they at least sounded better than the other equally valid doctrines going around at the time?

Heretical gospels/scripture were contemporary writings in the mid-2nd to mid-3rd century that used early church figures and disciples to attain pseudo-validity. They were recognized as being inauthentic and not added to scripture.

Clearly it didn't stop the system from conveniently adding stuff that came from absolute anonymous figures.
