[Natural Law]

"What you are saying is that no one knew the scripture was the scripture until some Papist person figured it out a few hundred years later, as if no one knew anything, or could know anything, until a decree was made sorting it out."

Many did not know what was legitimate and inerrant and what was not other than through the Sacred Traditions. The purpose of the Canon was to identify those writings that were to be read during the liturgy. As you point out there were no printing presses. I will give you partial credit for admitting that a Pope was involved.

Peace be with you

And we should believe your assertion because you repeat it, over and over and over again, despite all the evidence of the New Testament being widely used and available to the faithful from the beginning?

” I will give you partial credit for admitting that a Pope was involved.”

Actually, I was mocking your position by saying it like that. Apparently the church hadn’t figured it out yet that there was even supposed to be a primacy for the Bishop of Rome, even 600 years later.

So much for the “sacred tradition” on that one.
