The Holy Spirit working through the Church or Bride of Christ provided us with sacred scripture notwithstanding the apostate actions of one Martin Luther.

The spiritually bankrupt and diffuse groups of protestants are perpetually cursed by this division which mitigates against the prayer of Jesus that they all might be one.

To deny the historical fact of the Catholic involvement in the formation of scripture is to deny reality. You can deny the Holy Spirit involvement but the Catholic compilation is a historical given. Even the enemies of the Church concede this salient fact and use it to claim the Church put the bible together for selfish purposes.

No, Luther did not chose the books of the bible for he was only 1100 years late and the Holy Spirit had already worked through the Church.

“To deny the historical fact of the Catholic involvement in the formation of scripture is to deny reality.”

Please discuss Rome’s role in defining the canon prior to the Council of Trent.

“You can deny the Holy Spirit involvement but the Catholic compilation is a historical given.”

The Orthodox would have a better claim...
