I, on the other hand, will never accept your opinion on the origin of the scripture. I should however, hear your opinion on the origin, then I will say I don’t accept it.

No worries there mate… I get you…
Besides, to disagree is a good thing in my mind. What kind of world would it be if we all agreed robotically? How boring is that…

To be clear though, I wasn’t asking her about, or for, an “opinion”, rather what she knew to be the historical facts of biblical development, into what we call the Bible. That requires for one to be free of any opionating bias of New faith ideals, doctrines, and translations- that have come about hundreds and hundreds years after the fact.

That’s where I see the problem in how people understand just how the Bible came about– In trying to read back into history what they must, to achieve the desired outcome of what they need- all from our modern, and distant, perspective. Understanding that this concept of having a “Bible” did not even exist for the first hundreds of years of Christianity- all the while developing under devastating oppression and brutality of the Roman Empire.

So no... Opinions need not apply when looking at history...

More mumbo jumbo. Even while John was still alive, the letters from Paul were copied and read to many ekklesia converts. That was the natural extension of the written Word of God principle of the Septuagint. By the time Polycarp finished his life his writings reflect the sum of the principles found in the letters from the Apostles being circulated.

History? You have the twisted catholiciism version.

OK, I will not give my opinion. I do NOT believe, under any circumstances, that the Catholic Church gave us the Bible. I did, when I was a Catholic, but now that I am an ex Catholic, I don’t believe that anymore. If you want to believe it, you are welcome to, but I don’t. 😀😆😁😂😃🤗🙃👍
Calling all ex Catholics. 😩😃😆😀
