List for me which books you believe are authoritative, and the first published bible with these books, and only these books. :)

There was never supposed to be an actual Bible. This was a creation of the Catholic church. Scripture was never supposed to be limited to a few books. They should have kept and maintained all the writings which had been passed down until an actual prophet of God told them which writings God wanted us to keep.

There are a couple books in the current KJV that are not scripture. Solomon Song was Solomon's love sonnets to his concubines. Proverbs was written by a king and not a prophet. That sort of thing.

“There was never supposed to be an actual Bible.”

Then you don’t consider any Canon to be authoritative?

“Scripture was never supposed to be limited to a few books.”

So, then, which books do you consider authoritative?

“There are a couple books in the current KJV that are not scripture.”

Ok, then you accept the apocrypha because the KJV was originally printed with it. ;)

You also can’t argue, “there never was intended to be a canon”, and then accept a canon that never existed prior to the 16th century, a millenium and a half after they were written.

It seems pretty clear to me that your standard is whatever you want to accept. :) Are you a prophet?
