A remarkably stupid post by a remarkably ignorant Catholic. Anyone who has spent even the smallest amount of time studying scripture will know how Scripture came to be. This is rubbish. All Christian denominations, with the exception of the usual fringe, understand and recognize which books and included and, more importantly, why.

"All Christian denominations, with the exception of the usual fringe, understand and recognize which books and included and, more importantly, why."

How do they draw a logical conclusion as regards which books are inspired?

So can you say why? Can you give this reasoned, informed, intelligent debate? “Just because” and “Everybody knows”, don’t qualify.

Really? So, since the Calvinists and Orthodox disagree on the canon, which one of those two is the “usual fringe”?

[Cronos]

And how do you, April Lexington, think scripture came to be? We’re talking about Christian scripture of course right from the Septuagint to the 4 gospels to the Shepherd of Hermas and the Didache.

" Anyone who has spent even the smallest amount of time studying scripture will know how Scripture came to be."

This is an incredibly ignorant rebuttal. On what grounds were the books of the Bible canonized when there were literally hundreds of contemporaneous works authored my many eye witnesses, some intimates of Christ himself, rejected. How did Luther decide that the preexisting Canon was flawed and determine that some books should be eliminated?

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

8-) Are you aware that Protestants account for 25% of all Christians? (Orthodox, 25%. Catholics, 50%).

If we're going to count noses in the search for truth, only 25% of Christians accept Luther's canon of Scripture.

Here's another request for a more extensive explication of this rather smug statement.
