What beautiful logic! Here is the summary: Douglas Wilson-bad, all protestants-stupid, Mormonism-burning bosom. Based on this, it can categorically be said that the Catholic Bible is correct because the Church is infallible. I totally get it now.

As opposed to the Protestant circular argument of "We know the Scriptures are the real Scriptures because they're the Scriptures because it says it's the Scriptures on the cover"?

As opposed to the Protestant circular argument of "We know the Scriptures are the real Scriptures because they're the Scriptures because it says it's the Scriptures on the cover"?

I certainly don't argue that and I admit that I don't even know what the "official" Protestant position is on this. My argument would be that if we can all agree that the Bible is a gift from God to us for our benefit in knowing Him, and if we agree that the Word is divinely inspired, then why is it such a stretch that God also had a direct hand in the organization of the final text? Why would God go to all that trouble just to have us meditate on error?
