Is it just an unfortunate chain of events that causes this. Or a very FORTUNATE chain of events that is CREATED, in order to create a religious system built on everything but the EXPLICIT Word of God?
INDEED.
However, expecting rational conclusions from a rational process with this crew is . . . delusional.
EXACTLY, Why I could start a whole new religion around the idea I stated earlier, in this thread that original sin is tranferred through the sperm not the egg.
“”Books that are not part of God’s Word.””
The Holy people God entrusted to give you Bible canon say the Deuterocanonical books are the word of God.
Examples...
According as the wisdom of God testifies beforehand when it says, “The devising of idols was the beginning of fornication.” (Wis. 14:12)Against the Heathen, 9 (A.D. 347), in NPNF2, IV:9.-St. Athanasius
“Yet the Holy Spirit in the thirty-ninth(9) psalm, while lamenting that all men walk in a vain show, and that they are subject to sins, speaks thus: “For all that every man walketh in the image.”(Psalm 39:6) Also after David’s time, in the reign of Solomon his son, we read a somewhat similar reference to the divine likeness. For in the book of Wisdom, which is inscribed with his name, Solomon says: “God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.”(Wisdom 2:23) And again, about eleven hundred and eleven years afterwards, we read in the New Testament that men have not lost the image of God. For James, an apostle and brother of the Lord, whom I have mentioned above- Saint Jerome
