re: “I think they mean the Catholic world, not the Christian world. They are a subset with some rather unique non-biblical perspectives.”

One question, and one question only: How did Martin Luther all by himself pen, transcribe, carry, and hold onto the Bible from the time the various ‘books’ were written until now?

He didn’t. If it had not been him, it would have been somebody else. The reason the reformation happened was this: The invention of the printing press. Suddenly knowledge and the sources of knowledge became widely available.

The same thing is happening to Christianity in general thanks to the Internet. Christian beliefs are being “cleansed” and “purged” of old beliefs that are easily challenged once we are allowed to talk about it, and read the things that were in the heads of the writers of the new testament, as well as the culture surrounding the writing of the OT as well as the second temple period.

It’s why ECT is taking such a beating these days. http://jewishnotgreek.com/
