So you have the original in front of you today?

Close enough - The prophecy proves the Word. There are two witnesses built into every book.

The problem with rejecting the authority of the councils is that the only reason you have a bible today is because St. Jerome put all the books together.

Baloney.

Which books do you have in your bible? If, as you say, the words do not change, do you have Maccabees?

I use the Protestant canon primarily (because it is made of the books which are absolutely accepted by all), but yes, I do have Maccabees, and have studied it quite a bit, as with the many other books which might even remotely be attributed to the prophets/agents of YHWH.

Enoch too? What about the Didache?

Interesting. Not the reply I expected. So you believe in making your own Canon for your own personal use? Have I understood you correctly?

Well, I respect that approach. Disagree with it as I believe that Jerome got it right.

Peace and blessings, Sir.
