A.A. Cunningham to Iscool:”heavily edited 66 book version of Scripture”

You’d think they’d edit the Scriptures to 67 or 65 books and stay away from the number 66. I can’t help but think of John 6:66 when many of the disciples walked away from Jesus because of his Eucharistic teaching. Even if one does edit a few books of the Bible out, how does one talk about Scripture alone while denying the Church, who led by the the Spirit, decided on those books of the Bible? It is said that there were 400 books floating around which could have been considered for inclusion in the Bible when the Church, again guided and led by the Spirit, decided on the canon of the Bible.

Like I said, a study of the scriptures will lead a Christian away from your 'Church'...So it's easy to 'deny' your religion just from believing scripture...

It is said that there were 400 books floating around which could have been considered for inclusion in the Bible when the Church, again guided and led by the Spirit, decided on the canon of the Bible.

And it may have been said back then that the Detroit Tigers would never win the pennant...So what??? Who cares what a bunch of pagans said back then, or now...

The Old Latin Bible was in circulation long before your religion even knew what the Trinity was...Long before Jerome was even born...
