Suppsoedly guided by the Holy Spirit, the humans wrote, and it was the hierarchy of the Church recognized, selected, safeguarded, sorted out and canonized the Scriptures. I know this must be difficult for you to swallow, but then the alternative is to throw out the Bible along with the Church.

You’re correct I do not swallow that.. The Rabbis vouched safe the old testament in various forms.. The New testement codices were saved from various places.. and times.. And Roman Catholic and Eastern Ortho organizations were started hundreds of years after christs so-called “death”... A contant stream of apostles did not happen.. Its a myth promulgated by various clergy.. that some people swallow some do not..

(It’s really hard for me to take a site seriously if it uses the word “popish”.)

Did you just deny that Christ died? So do Muslims, and they are an offshoot of Arianism. They say His death was only an "act."

Thanks for putting all your cards on the table, hosepipe. I take it you would not describe yourself as a "Christian," would you?
