The bible does not describe itself - the Catholic bishops defined what the bible consists of, and the man Luther deleted a dozen books 1500 years later.

Catholics at least claim the authority that Luther himself exercised. Oddly enough you recognize both the Catholic bishops’ authoritative definition of the New Testament and Luther’s authoritative definition of the Old Testament. Sucker.

>>Small problem. Luther said James, Jude, Hebrews, and Revelation were apocryphal, yet Fundamentalists base their religion on Revelation.

Maybe Revelation is apocryphal and they just don’t know it.
