Thank you for sharing your opinions. I will try to keep my response brief...

“People who believe the Holy Spirit allowed entire books of the Scripture that were not inspired to be included in the Septuagint all the way through the 1500s don’t really believe in the Holy Spirit other than an excuse for their own personal interpretation of Scripture.

The Jewish canon never included some newer books were included in the Septuagint. They were kept separate for a reason. These new books were referred to as anagignoskomena in Greek, because they never included in the Jewish canon.

“It’s no straw-man nor is the FACT that the same base of doctrine that espouses, Sola Yourselfa, swears and insists that avowed anti-Christ Pharisees at a mythical council made up of the same people who preach that Mary was a whore and Jesus Christ is burning in Hell are the proper authority on what should be in the Old Testament.”

Really Rashputin? This is your argument? If you are going to make an argument by pulling in way out beliefs as a straw man in your discussion with me, it will be a short and useless interaction. I do not believe blessed Mary was a whore. I do not believe Jesus Christ is burning in hell. It isn’t even worth discussing something that is a false argument.

“People who prefer the Pharisees to Christ, the Apostles, and all Christians prior to Luther think anything they don’t want to deal with honestly is a “straw-man” so they can change the subject and ignore reality.”

Again, false argument. I am not disagreeing with Christ, the Apostles and am not preferring the Pharisees. Nor preferring Luther for that matter. Nor am I changing the subject.

“Christianity changed the world.”

We agree there. The rest is a non-argument, presented by a chorus of fake straw men. You’re off your game today.

Sorry, but you're totally in fantasy land.

"If you are going to make an argument by pulling in way out beliefs as a straw man in your discussion with me, it will be a short and useless interaction. I do not believe blessed Mary was a whore. I do not believe Jesus Christ is burning in hell. It isn’t even worth discussing something that is a false argument."

ROTFLOL, the usual which amounts to:
"Point out the glaring contradictions in what I say and I'll take my toys and go home"

Don't agree with such folks, but insist that a fictional council of people who do believe Mary was a whore and Christ is in Hell are the ones who the Holy Spirit leads to knowing what should be considered the inspired Word of God. In fact, they know better what should be in the OT canon than Christ, the Apostles, and all Christians prior to your favorite Protestant revolutionary came along. That's what your argument boils down to.

So, you insist such folks are the proper authority in spiritual matters properly discerning the Truth because the Holy Spirit that governs Sola Yourselfa tells you those folks were correct and therefore the Holy Spirit must be guiding those folks as well. They know what is the inspired Word of God except when they don't know what's the inspired Word of God? They know the proper interpretation of Scripture except when they don't? And who is the judge? Why, the Self and Self Alone; the real basis for Protestantism and all that grew out of it.

Yeah, don't believe in anything that isn't convenient at the moment is the real bottom line for Sola Yourselfa folks and it's getting more clear that's the case with each attempt at changing the subject.

People who do not believe the Holy Spirit could protect the Holy Word of God from the inclusion of error don't believe in the Holy Spirit as anything other than a convenient excuse.

Either the Holy Spirit was right for the first seventeen hundred or so years that the Old Testament included books Protestants threw out or the Holy Spirit isn't an all powerful part of the Holy Trinity. Period.

People who toss out part of the Bible are tossing out the Trinity right along with the portions of Scripture they shed whether the strong delusion they're under lets them realize it or not. No wonder it's so easy for people like Rick Warren and Glen Beck to slide toward Chrislam. They've thrown out part of Scripture and/or added to Scripture to suit their personal delusion which means they've already denied the Holy Trinity just like a good Muzzie does.

Throw out Scripture to begin with and it's all downhill from there as the history of Protestantism clearly proves.

have a nice day
