“Can we agree on that?”
Yes, we can. I do think, however, that the process the bishops went through in compiling, collating and collecting is very important to an understanding of the result. That’s why I said that they were not automotons. That, in a nutshell, is what Mohammad claimed for himself, and his devotees do the very same to this day. The result is a book which the dark souls of Mohammedanism hold to be sacred in and of itself, by that I mean the bindings and pages themselves, because it is the EXACT word of the demon to whom they gave as a name the Arabic word for God, Allah, as opposed to the divinely inspired writings of holy men which we, as The Church always has, hold the bible to be.
See, discussion and conversation is much better than namecalling and guttersniping :>)
I also agree that the process was not simple, and a lot of human desires and thoughts had to be filtered. God uses man to accomplish his will, and when man is attuned to God, God's will triumphs over everything.
By the way, you and I have had some very good discussions, and neither one of us has had to resort to unGodly actions. I find you to be very intelligent and informed, and have learned a lot about your view of things. (I wish I spoke and read Greek, like you.) I still disagree on some things, but I do believe that you and I can discuss the differences in heaven.
