"You do everyday you quote from a Bible given to you by an institution that CLAIMS it is from God..."
_______________________________

This is so silly. You are implying that the INERRANT WORD OF GOD only became the INERRANT WORD OF GOD because a group of men recognized it as such? I hope you can do better.

When the community recognized it as such, it became the inerrant word of God FOR THE COMMUNITY. Just because Paul wrote something doesn't make it the infallible word of God! It is the community's recognition that Paul was writing the inspired Gospel given to him by God that made the Sacred Writ inspired Scriptures.

I ask you to tell me how you know that Philemon is "inspired" or "from God" merely on its own basis removed from its binding of the "Bible", without ANY knowledge that it is part of the Bible...

Now that's silly...

Regards
