Quote: Right, granting the ultimate authority of the Church which has chosen for you the reading materials you are allowed to use for such purposes... of which your anti-Sola Ecclesia personality, the majority of biblical scholars, and many Christians, respectfully (I almost said reasonably but that's questionable here) disagree.
again, loft claim. where is your proof?
What's the basis of your claim that the twenty-seven books contained in the N.T. were authorized by God? Did you dream that up in your stupor?
You're asking where is my "proof" that many Christians disagree with your interpretation of the Bible or what can properly be considered legitimate sources of divine inspiration and wisdom (or in the case of some N.T. epistles, may be omitted)? And you're stating it's a "loft claim" to assert that mainstream scholarship, Christian and non, admit of many interpolations and entire forgeries contained within the official Church / popular Canon?
Lol. Wow, not quite on to the meat and potatoes yet? This is pretty basic stuff anyone even remotely interested in anything beyond a surface level understanding of the Bible immediately discovers. Like Jesus, Google is also your friend. Seek and ye shall find.
