You seem to believe that Holy Spirit was incapacitated in terms of His ability to insure that The Canon included all and only all that God wanted in The Canon.

You seem to have a comprehension problem so this will be my last post to you.

I NEVER said the Holy Spirit was incapacitated! LOL!

I said fallible men chose to do as they pleased. I believe that is called FREE WILL.

Seems to me the comprehension problem may be elsewhere.

1. EITHER HOLY SPIRIT HAD THE CAPACITY AND THE WILL TO INSURE THAT FALLIBLE MEN COMPLIED PRECISELY THE CANON GOD WANTED

OR

2. HE DID NOT.

3. You assert that the precisely God-willed Canon was not produced.

4. So, which did Holy Spirit lack—the capacity or the will or both to insure that fallible men achieved God’s precise objective?

5. I don’t see any other alternatives. Are you hiding some other alternative in Alice’s rabbit hole? If so, please let us know what it is.

I believe there is a robust and authentic degree and form of FREE WILL.

I’m not a Calvinist.

By the same token, FREE WILL is not 100% ABSOLUTELY FREE.

NOR are things 100% determined, as I construe Biblical and ‘normal’ reality.

Somehow, twixt the two, God achieves HIS purposes without totally trashing our perceived reality of an authentic degree of FREE WILL and without abandoning 100% of God’s influences on our FREE WILL.

and . . .

Scripture insists that the steps of a righteous man are ordered of The Lord.

Would those you live with characterize you as equally brittle with them as your presentation hereon might indicate?

If so, I’m sure there are better ways to present one’s personality.

LOL.
