By the way, it’s more than a book — it’s the outcome of the canon councils of The Church that under the guidance of the Holy Spirit closed the canon and left out correctly the “Gospel of Thomas” and for some reason didn’t add in the “Didache” or the “Shepherd of Hermas’

There are those of us who believe that the Holy Bible is Jehovah Gods gift to man. You see it as the product of a particular institutional church, which is of course your right to believe. But if you are correct, at best the RCC doesn't play by it's own rule book. Not that I care, you are after all an adult I presume, but 3/4 of the Bible was already in the wraps before that institutional church of yours graced the planet.

I have said it before and will repeat again, we can never go back to the "unity" that you all think existed before the reformation. Why? because before the reformation very few had the scriptures for themselves. Now, there are so many copies of the Bible in circulation and on computers and inscribed in literature, architecture and folk lore that there will always be those who if they desire will find the Bible and compare it to the teaching of the Bishops. They will conclude, as I have that there is a problem nestled along the Tiber.
