As any secular history will reveal to you the process of the Church's interpretation of scripture is evidenced by centuries of debate and discussions not some instantaneous thought that merely serves to to satisfy the ego of a frustrated dissenter. What happened for 1500 years until we were blessed or cursed with the protesting crowd? Did Jesus take a vacation for 1500 years or 1800 years if you happen to be Mormon?

It was the Church who complied the Bible and the same Church existed 400 years before this same Church gave official approbation for the individual works to be deemed to be part of the canon. I don't believe "Any Good Protestants" participated in the compilation process which they now use to invent prideful interpretations.

Seriously? Any secular history? What about the Inquisition, the Berserker Bible, the deliberate mistranslation of "Judeans" as "Jews" in the crucifixion story, or the Donative of Constantine? What about the reign of the Borgias? How does the word of God justify castratti? Of course it doesn't, but the Popes at the time said it did.
