>>>>>>>>> Bunk. The Church established the canon over a thousand years piror to Luther even being born..<<<<<<<<
I SAID CLOSED CANON ...The canon was not CLOSED until the council of TRENT ...you need to learn YOUR church history
From EWTN http://www.ewtn.com/library/councils/trent4.htm
As I pointed out Jerome the RC translator of the OT into latin did not see the Apocrypha as INSPIRED scripture .. and he placed them in a seperate area of the Bible as worthwile teaching ..bit not doctrinal AS DID LUTHER ...
it is wise to know what one is talking about and just not repete romes talking points
"Don't know care much about his-to-ree...
Pope Stephen VI (896897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.[1]
Pope John XII (955964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife.
Pope Benedict IX (10321044, 1045, 10471048), who "sold" the Papacy
Pope Boniface VIII (12941303), who is lampooned in Dante's Divine Comedy
Pope Urban VI (13781389), who complained that he did not hear enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were tortured.[2]
Pope Alexander VI (14921503), a Borgia, who was guilty of nepotism and whose unattended corpse swelled until it could barely fit in a coffin.[3]
Pope Leo X (15131521), a spendthrift member of the Medici family who once spent 1/7 of his predecessors' reserves on a single ceremony[4]
Pope Clement VII (15231534), also a Medici, whose power-politicking with France, Spain, and Germany got Rome sacked.
Anyone who claims that's just a "talking point" is also claiming that the Holy Spirit is not perfect and therefore cannot be part of the Trinity which is in effect blaspheming the Holy Spirit as well as denying that the Trinity exists.
Facts are facts and the fact of the matter is that Protestants assert that anti-Christ, anti-Christian, Pharisees and their follower Martin Luther are all more perfect than the Holy Spirit
The desperation of Protestantism is clear when the fantasy of a Pharisee council was dreamed up in the eighteen seventies when older Hebrew language versions of several of the books Luther threw out were found and the claim that they shouldn't be included because they weren't written in Hebrew was shown to be nothing but more trash from Luther and his pals.
Until a nitwit heretic like Luther claimed he had the right to alter the canon there was no need to "close" or otherwise confirm what had been accepted for eighteen hundred years which means the BS about it not being closed is just more of the same Protestant revolt againist Christ smokescreen that claiming Luther could alter the canon is.
Typical Protestant circular reasoning : Luther changed the canon so when the Church affirmed that he had no right to do so it "proves" Luther had the right to do so.
Someone can play games all they like but denying that what is in the Septuagint is the inspired Word of God is denying the the perfection of the Holy Spirit. PERIOD
