"In that case, would you be willing to illustrate just who wrote what passages of the Gospels (to start) and when those writings occured?"

How do you know what the writers intended when nobody knows for sure what the first version of each book actually was? I agree about the role of the Holy Spirit, but that was promised to the Church (and its choosing and interpretation of Scripture), not to Luther's every milkmaid."

Well, this is one of those, "Okay, then reproduce 40 volumes of information right here!" remarks. We will have to settle on the fact that I am comfortable the text is properly represented and you do not share that view. I base this upon your remark, "How do you know for sure..." From this we understand you have little confidence in the text and much in the organization. Mine is reversed. Fair enough. We'll have to wait and see who is right.

So you are comfortable with all the changes that the Church made over the first 300 years from the original writings? Who has the faith in the organization now?
