Who decided which books were Scripture and which were apocrypha, or even heresy? The Bible wasn’t handed to a prophet on a journey to Mecca, or a farmer’s son-in-law.

Though I really do wish to spend all the time answering your questions from the article, I will just ask that you read the whole thing BEFORE asking, so I do not have to quote it all back to you, topic by topic with my own commentary. Which is why I asked that all comments be held until the article is read.
Take notes while you read, challenge the points that are not answered, or not. I simply do not have the time to retype this article for your personal satisfaction. For some reason I think this will never be accomplished.
Maybe this will answer your question!
