But the Bible didn't drop from the sky at Pentecost. It was brought to you by the Catholic Church. Reject the Church, and you reject the New Testament.
A. The Formation of the New Testament Canon (A.D. 100-220)The idea of a complete and clear-cut canon of the New Testament existing from the beginning, that is from Apostolic times, has no foundation in history. The Canon of the New Testament, like that of the Old, is the result of a development, of a process at once stimulated by disputes with doubters, both within and without the Church, and retarded by certain obscurities and natural hesitations, and which did not reach its final term until the dogmatic definition of the Tridentine Council...
...As for Protestantism, the Anglicans and Calvinists always kept the entire New Testament But for over a century the followers of Luther excluded Hebrews, James, Jude, and Apocalypse, and even went further than their master by rejecting the three remaining deuterocanonicals, II Peter, II and III John.
"Reject the Church, and you reject the New Testament."
My mistake, then.
I had no idea that Protestants were unwelcome on Turin threads and the kingdom of God.
