Then your argument has no merit and can be dismissed. Let’s get to the real argument then - the merit of the protestant canon.
I'm just pissed that I was off on my total post prediction. You guys are way over what I said already...lol.
Boatbums and others have argued that the purpose of the Bible was for “the confirmation of doctrine”. They have missed the forest for the trees. Where I have said "Scripture", they have read Bible. The Bible is a collection of Scripture, a library if you will, written by a host of human authors, in a wide variety of styles and purposes, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Bible was assembled by the Magisterium of the Catholic Church as an authorized lectionary in support of the Liturgy of the Word, from among the many documents available at the time, under the guidance of the very same Holy Spirit, using the Tradition and the Creeds as well as other standards (canons) as the litmus test.
If Protestants and Protestantism want to assemble their own library of writings for their own stated purposes who are we to challenge or argue with them. However, they do not have standing to continue to insist that the Church failed in its accomplishing a task it never signed up for.
Peace be with you.
