God has indeed blessed Catholics with a broader Scriptural library, but far too often, our Protestant brothers and sisters draw so much more out of their limited canon than we do out of our fuller one. The sad joke is that in the Deuterocanonicals Catholics have seven more Books that most don't read.

I've asked this question before and no one gave an answer. Perhaps, since you believe you and your fellow Catholics are more blessed by your "broader Scriptural library" and we Protestants are sadly limited because we don't view those extra books as coming from the Spirit of God, you might expound upon all those blessing you have gained by holding to those books? While you are at it, would you also share with us all the doctrines we have squeezed needlessly from our "limited canon" that we could have found in the "fuller" one you so prize?

If, indeed, it is a "sad joke" that Catholics have a special blessing from God due to their honoring of the Deuterocanonicals as equal to the commonly held inspired and sacred works, then surely you can name the extra blessings your fuller canon has provided? Don't hold back, share with your sad, poorer, separated brethren all those extra benefits we've missed by rejecting them.

Thank you.

"Don't hold back, share with your sad, poorer, separated brethren all those extra benefits we've missed by rejecting them."

The greatest commandment is that we love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind. The failure to apply all of the revealed word causes us to fall short of this.

Peace be with you
