“So why the Bible and not one of these other books?”

Because Jesus says so

Because Jesus says so

You mean Jesus came down and told you personally to pick the King James Version of the Bible to believe in and not the Douay-Rheims? Or do you mean you believe Jesus says so because you read it in the Bible?

I assume you mean the latter. Do you see the circular reasoning here? Logical fallacy.



We're back to square one. If you believe Jesus told you in the Bible, well...How do you know the Bible is true? By what authority?

Can you show me where in the Bible it says which version of the Bible to use? Or whether or not to include the deuterocanonicals? Or which New Testament Scriptures are inspired and which ones are not?

Add to that Jesus sent to man The Holy Spirit who leads us into all truths. By prayer and reading scripture the truth of what we need for the time we need it in the amount we need it {"Give us this day our daily bread"} is given to us. What we need spiritually we can as Christ Disciples did ask GOD directly in Jesus name for it. Our fears we can share, our needs we can let GOD know, and sins as well we can confess and beg forgiveness of to Him alone followed by our repentance.
