Dear DarthVader,

"I said some of the Books, not all of them."

C'mon Darth, there aren't that many that are in dispute between the Catholic Church and those who differ.

You don't accept the Catholic canon as authoritative, or Luther's canon. Just how do you split the hairs between them?

Just what canon do you accept as authoritative?

And from where does this authority you exercise to accept and reject books of the Bible come?

What standards do you use when judging which books belong in, and which books belong out of the canon?

Luther's is the primary authority. It is what I use for devotionals. I like the catholic canon for books like Sirach for its wisdom. The Catholic canon is not accepted by most evangelicals for authority.

I am finished for the day have to go home now and get on the phone with my totally awesome and gorgeous Christian girlfriend. I am not finished with you yet.
