". . . indicated that the Third Person of the Trinity is not equal with God the Father or Jesus . . .

That follows logically from rationalizing throwing books out of the Old Testament and changing excuses for doing so every time one excuse is knocked down by archeology or historical fact.

Accept the anti-Christ, anti-Christian, Jewish Pharisee Rabbi Approved !! Luther Subset of Scripture and you accept the lie that the Holy Spirit could not and did not protect the Bible from the inclusion of error and in fact, that the Holy Spirit helped Satan lead people astray for nearly eighteen hundred years by allowing those errors to remain in the Bible.

The Holy Spirit did allow the church to fool itself in some ways.

You’re an example of it.

Actually, 97% of Americans with Evangelical Beliefs affirm “There is one true God in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit,” and overall are far more conservative than Catholics, and in another survey only 33% of Catholics, Lutherans and Methodists strongly affirmed that Christ was sinless on earth.

Moreover, rather than the deutros making any positive difference, it is Catholics who are the most liberal, while the factor that does make the difference is whether Scripture is held as being the wholly inspired literally accurate word of God, which few Caths affirm, versus liberal views. And it is RC scholarship that for decades even in her own NAB relegates literal historical accounts to being fables or folk tales.

More bombastic ranting, for not only is your premise that rejecting the deutros is the reason for liberalism contrary to the evidence, but the fact is that God allows both false prophets and writings to exist in order to test the people, while your charge here applies to the Catholic scholars who doubted or rejected the deuterocanonical books down thru the centuries and right into Trent, which provided the first indisputable canon, after the death of Luther, who was influenced by such (and who included deuterocanonical books in his Bible, albeit separately as per an ancient tradition)!

And rather than the Holy Spirit not protecting the Bible, He never referred to any writings from the deuteros as Scripture, or authoritatively "it is written," or "thus saith the Lord, though He can chose to include true statements from it, as He also did from Enoch and even pagans. But i am sure we have goen thru this before, so what you need to do now is prove your charge that not having the deuterocanonical books leads to liberalism, versus not strongly holding to Scripture as the wholly inspired, accurate and basically literal word of God.

Be back tomorrow by God's grace.
