You Know, Dear friend, there is a reason why I don’t post much on FR.

It’s because uneducated links offered by people who don’t take the time to look deeper into actual sources of real truth about things like Scripture and would prefer to be afraid of reality.

I pray for you to look deeper.

Well that is par for the course. Thus far with me it has been RCs which have overall manifested ignorance, and one refused to even look at links that refuted him, and when I showed deeper examination, and also sent you to some, thus you responded by dismissing them as uneducated and fearful of reality.

But in addition to substantiation as regards the Prot canon, for those who would understand that RCs contrive Luther's hyperbole to advocate licentiousness, which Paul was likewise charged with, see here on what Luther taught as regards holiness and here as regards the quote at issue.

I know what you mean. I was hoping someone had some different information than what's been in books I've read but no such luck.

Seems to me that when Protestants accept a Church council as their proof of what should be in the New Testament but not about the Old Testament, then take Luther as their final authority on the Old Testament but not the New Testament, they're not nearly as concerned about Scripture as they like to pretend. Like so many other things it looks like an an avoidance of taking up their cross along with a great lack of faith in both Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

I also notice that when people point to the Jews removing seven books I seem to have missed someone mentioniong that Ethiopia never got the memo and uses the same books as the Catholic Church to this day. That sure looks to me like the Holy Spirit protecting His Word even when the Jews were trying to avoid having some books used to convert Jews to Christ. If those books were so far out of line I have no doubt that Ethiopia wouldn't have kept them either. Their removal was Rabbinical Judaism at work rather than the Holy Spirit.

I guess it's a matter of whether or not you believe Jesus Christ who said His Word would never pass away. Some people obviously think Jesus Christ was too stupid to realize the Septuagint was the Scripture when He said that.
