[one Lord one faith one baptism]

the point is, without the Church you have no clue what the word of God is.

since you reject the authority of the Church, tell me how you know which books are canonical and which are not.

for example, how do you know Hebrews is Scripture and the gospel of Peter is not.

this should be good, something tells me it will not be answered.

i throw this question out to anyone.

>>for example, how do you know Hebrews is Scripture and the gospel of Peter is not.<<

Maybe because the gospel of Peter was not written by Peter and that it was written a century after Peter’s real writing? Or maybe the account in the gospel of Peter of a talking cross emerging from the tomb? Nothing was known about it until some fragments were found in the late 1800s. Then it could be the historical errors contained in the gospel of Peter.

If errors and contradictions with the writings of the original Apostles are contained and it can be shown that it probably wasn’t even written by who the real writer wants us to think then it’s a pretty good bet it’s not inspired by God.
