Absurd statements like this make it very difficult to takes prots seriously.
I wasn't the one who made the "absurd" statement. Your good buddy Steelfish did:
Did the early Christians have the Bible as we know it? No. The Bible as a whole was not compiled until the late 4th century and then it was compiled by a Catholic saint (St. Jerome) at the request of a Catholic pope (St. Damasus I).
I do agree with you. It was absurd to make such a claim.
