[P-Marlowe]

I have mentioned dozens of facts about the Bible that show that human hands left singificant fingerprints on the scriptures, all of which amount to corruption.

Then stop arguing from scripture. Don't quote any scripture to support your theology.

Now tell me, without resorting to scripture, why your church's beliefs have any validity whatsoever.

I am not arguing from scripture. My argument is that the scriptures have been corurpted by man's redactions and additions and deletions and versions.

This doesn't mean the scriptures do not contain God's revealed truth. The Church has safeguarded that truth from the days of the Apostles. That is our quality control check that the Bible is understood in context and mindset of the Church stablished by Christ and not by some men 1,500 years later, or by private interpretations.

Now tell me, without resorting to scripture, why your church's beliefs have any validity whatsoever

I just did, but you have not told me why your private interpretations hold any validity, or what quality control do you have (other than some Gnostic notion of inner spirit guiding you) that the Bible as you read it, as is, as the Church put it together, is the Scripture, if you deny the Church?
