That's just it, I'm not the one insisting those seven books belong as part of the Holy Spirit inspired Scriptures. You don't seem to get it that those books were NEVER part of the Old Testament, they didn't come from God, they were NOT Divine revelation, as ALL the documentation I have given to you demonstrates. Do you not bother to read even the rebuttals in this thread?

It wasn't until Trent in the sixteenth century that the Catholic church even dogmatically declared them canonical, so who was in error about those books before then? They were NOT recognized as inspired because they DID contain errors. So, it's not me who is pretending the Holy Spirit makes mistakes. Look to your OWN church for that. I am convinced it is because of the need to discredit the Bible and assert superiority over it that the Roman Catholic church did that. It's too bad you guys are stuck with having to defend the indefensible.

Thank you for a wonderful example of the convaluted vain pride that flows out of a denial of the perfection and power of the Holy Spirit. Scripture describes that state of mind as follows:

Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks ; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 1:22 For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Ever hear of a little thing called the Septuagint?

So when you say NEVER, you should actually be saying always.
