I said: The Bible was compiled by councils of men who decided what was going to be considered cannon of their church...

CF said:Faulty history lesson that was taught you. If you go back in history, you will see that what is now the NT was being cited verbally and what is written by the early Church (pre-Catholic era). These citations were deemed authoritative by church leaders.

What does that prove?


Nothing!

The books I specifically quoted were also quoted in the NT. Jesus calling himself "The Son of Man" is specifically referring to a prophecy from the book of Enoch which the Catholic Church did not want in the bible, because it talks too much about God and Jesus being separate beings.

If you are going to post at least research and reference.

I find it interesting that the particular poster has a habit of deception. Take the following example: Jesus calling himself "The Son of Man" is specifically referring to a prophecy from the book of Enoch which the Catholic Church did not want in the bible... The poster asserts that the title 'Son of Man' is found in Enoch, as if it is the ONLY place in the OT where the designation is found so the Catholic Church excluding the Book of Enoch is somehow proof the foundations of Chrsitianity are flawed and in need of Mormon restoration of authority through the con artist treasure schemer, liar, deceiver, serial adulterer, Joseph Smith. Oops! I should have left that truth about Smith off ... don't want to get banned for pointing out truth about the foundations of Mormonism.
