I’ve purchased a lot of books from TAN though not in a while. I’m glad to see they are still around.
Right, see the documentary below for that:

The Nevi'im (Prophets) were written by various prophets in their own words relating things they received in the spirit of nevu'ah (prophecy).
The Hagiographa or Writings (Ketuvim) were written by holy men under the inspiration of Ruach HaQodesh (literally "Divine wind," though usually translated "holy spirit" or "holy ghost").
The eight books of the Prophets and eleven books of Writings we have in our Bibles today were canonized by the 'Anshei HaKeneset HaGedolah (Men of the Great Assembly) to be read until the coming of Mashiach at which point, though still available, they will no longer be relevant, having been fulfilled. So long as they are read as part of the TaNa"KH (Bible) they have not been fulfilled.
Any more questions?

bump for later
"The arrogant rooster brags that he makes the sun rise when he crows."
This has come to pass on FreeRepublic today.
Here's an "eye opener" for you:
GOD inspired HIS Word.
GOD moved men to record HIS Word.
GOD acted to preserve HIS Word throughout history.
GOD worked through humans to assemble HIS Word.
GOD began this process THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE any Christian Church came onto the scene.
Yet there is one group that brags just like the arrogant rooster, thinking it wasn't God at all...
I’ve never heard anyone claim the Bible is a Protestant book. And considering how hard Rome worked through the centuries to keep people from having access to the Bible, it’s odd that Rome now wants to claim she preserved the Bible.

**1. To begin with, the Bible did not drop down from Heaven ready-made, as some seem to imagine; it did not suddenly appear upon the earth, carried down from Almighty God by the hand of angel or seraph; but it was written by men like ourselves, who held in their hand pen (or reed) and ink and parchment, and laboriously traced every letter in the original languages of the East. They were divinely inspired certainly**
Chuckling at the “dropped down from Heaven comment.
The Bible is God’s work, and it’s Christian. I’m familiar with a lot of claims about it, but don’t have time to read this article right now, but I will. To be fair, though, it should mention how the Catholic Church opposed, under penalty of death, the common person reading God’s Word, and did execute an untold number for that reason.
Shows how the Catholic Church has determined and proclaimed through her infallible rulings just which books are actually part of Sacred Scripture,
Which infallible, thus indisputable canon took over 1400 years after the last book was written.
and how she has preserved and maintained the Bible throughout the centuries.
And often hindered the laity from reading it , while in modern times she has sanctioned Bible scholarship that is clearly liberal in crtical. aspects.
The fact the Bible is made a servant for Rome, out of which she tries to wrest specious support for her Traditions of men, rather than her doctrines being based upon the degree of Scriptural warrant, as being the supreme authority.
Meanwhile, I keep seeing this "we gave you the Bible" polemical statement but never get a clear answer to the question i keep asking regarding the reason/argument behind it:
Are you saying that being the instruments and stewards of Scripture requires or renders them the infallible authority on it, so that which they reject must be rejected?
If they will not answer this then they should stop with the "we gave you the Bible" assertion, as it is meaningless. Salvation was the last one to refuse to answer this, and you can be the first one to do so. Again, without screeds if possible. However, since you affirmed that your basis for assurance is Scripture, as is ours, and which is non-Catholic, then your answer may no reflect RC belief.
“The Bible contains 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1500 years, in 3 different languages, on 3 different continents, with no historical errors or contradictions. The entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, bears the mark of Divine insnspiration.”
What a complete laugh!
We got the Bible from the Hebrew Cohenim, obviously.
How wonderful!
An INFALLIBLE church that has it's decisions made by FALLIBLE men!
It's a MIRACLE I tell you!
Sure it is!
It's for EVERYONE!!!
The Bible is a Christian Book, a living word of inspiration through it’s many authors. The Bible has neither Catholic nor Protestant roots, it is rooted in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and all that he (Godhead) has created and given to a fallen world.
In ever book of the Bible there is a thread of Jesus, if you understand enough scripture. Even Jesus followers from the NT were referred to as “The Way” long before they were called “Christians”.
My favorite Bible translation is the NIV, translated from the original Hebrew and Greek. Thank God for the King James version, although the old English was the wording. The Catholic Bible has a few more books than the others, however, with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls... we see more clearly now.
The Bible is clear in it’s statement “the Holy Spirit will teach you the deep things of God” meaning the living word will interpret itself, not man. True divine scripture will minister to your heart, and one does not need another person to tell him what is true and what is just history.
