Too much of a target rich post of yours to address each point. Others can chime in. I will address this one.
God moved men through the HOLY SPIRIT to record His words.
Men did not pick and choose what to record. The Holy Spirit moved them, inspiring the words that were used. God made this decision. These are not the "books" of men. They are the words of God. They come from Him.
They are inspired, infallible, authoritative and the direct revelation of truth that all other practices and teachings are judged by.
The Roman Catholics continue to show their disregard for the Word.
God moved men through the HOLY SPIRIT to record His words.
As always, you're fighting an imaginary opponent. The above is not in dispute. However, Scripture is not the only thing the Holy Spirit inspired. The Holy Spirit inspired the Church before the New Testament appeared and continued to do so following its appearance.
Men did not pick and choose what to record. The Holy Spirit moved them, inspiring the words that were used. God made this decision. These are not the "books" of men. They are the words of God. They come from Him.
Again, nobody is arguing that Scripture is not inspired by God.
However, I'm getting the vibe that you think God commissioned the apostles for the sole purpose of producing a book which then superseded and took precedence over the men (And their successors) who produced it. Ergo, the apostles and evangelists were nothing more than robots or tools in the hands of the Holy Spirit for the purposes of the production of a book. Or that once the New Testament appeared, the Holy Spirit left the building and the Church became subordinate to a book. The silliness of such an argument should be evident.
They are inspired, infallible, authoritative and the direct revelation of truth.......
True.
.....that all other practices and teachings are judged by.
False.
How do you discern the moral rectitude of artificial contraception or in vitro fertilization or stem cell therapy using Scripture? I pointed out above and I'm happy to point out again that the early Church functioned perfectly well before the New Testament appeared and Paul's letters to the early Christian communities were not received as Scripture. They were the letters of an evangelist to his spiritual children much the same as a bishop writes to his church, today.
Jesus commissioned men not a book! One.....I repeat, just one of the works of those men and the men they themselves commissioned was the production of the New Testament. But the Church grew before, during and after it's appearance.
