Don’t put words in my mouth. I am wondering why the Holy Spirit couldn’t have guided them correctly the first time, that’s all. Then again, the Holy Spirit can guide, but, if the men choose to NOT follow, so be it.
I guess the Holy Spirit couldn’t decide what which books were Divine.
Which is worse . . . my “putting words in” your fingers or you putting words in Holy Spirit’s decisiveness?
Do you believe Holy Spirit achieved God’s will in the matter of what’s in The Canon, or not?
Holy Spirit can do whatever God wishes. Having created all that is . . . men are not exactly impossible projects for Him.
It has been my observation, however, that Holy Spirit prefers to avoid being heavy handed.
He CAN and on occasion does INSURE something happens precisely regardless.
He seems to PREFER to nudge believers and even others along in gentle ways to achieve precise results.
