Yes...and no.

You're right on the fact that the Bible came from God...but the books of the Bible were determined by men. I don't know if the average fundie-nut will be able to understand that, but I'll help you if you need it.

"...but the books of the Bible were determined by men."

As you would expect, I disagree.

Did John the Baptist "determine" who would be the Messiah?



"I don't know if the average fundie-nut will be able to understand that, but I'll help you if you need it."

From some folks I would consider the label "fundie-nut" to be a badge of honor.

"The Bible came from God...but the books of the Bible were determined by men."

God's will had EVERYTHING to do with what was "determined" or destined "by men" to be His final word on the matter of Salvation.

"I don't know if the average fundie-nut will be able to understand that, but I'll help you if you need it."

Aaah, "fundie nut." Now we know where you're coming from.

It's your prerogative to stick to the "tradition" of Indulgences, beads, charms, holy water, scapulars, candles, incense, statues, novenas, praying to saints, and unscriptural dogma -- this is one "fundie nut" who'll take his chances with the Inspired Word of God to suffice as THE Truth and the Way.
