Your statement from an earlier post is in quotes

“Of course I disagree and believe that Mohammed and Smith are a product of the Roman heresy that believes in continuing revelation instead of a closed canon.”

My statements were in response to your statement above and are factually correct. I am not making any claims, those are facts. Most Universities are on break at this time so perhaps you are trying to make posts to impress your rhetoric or philosophy professor. Regardless, the statements that I posted regarding Mohammed and Joseph Smith are factually true.

And further more, the Canon of the Catholic Church, at least in the West, was closed in the 4th century at various Western Councils including Rome 382 AD, Carthage and Hippo in 393 and 397 AD, respectively. So whether you want to admit is or not, every time you cite the NT you are relying on the authority of the Catholic CHurch of the 4th century, guided by the Holy Spirit as the NT canon of 27 books that you have is a product of the Catholic Church.

And for the record, in the Catholic CHurch public relevalation ended with the death of the Last Apostle and thus there is no more public revelation until Christ second coming. The Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraphs 66 and 67 clearly cite Catholic Doctrine on the point you raised.

In my experience, the USCCB version of the Catechism is a colossal HTML trainwreck when viewed with Firefox.

Might I recommend a more legible source?
