"Who chose which books?"

God. And they weren't "books." They were letters. I understand that the catholics like to exclude God from the equation as catholics don't like to accept that God is in control but He is. The catholic cult has puffed itself up for centuries because God saw fit to use them, much the same way he used Egypt's Pharaoh, to accomplish His will. God used the powers of the day (the reformed babylonian cult - aka The Roman/Catholic Church) to amass a collection of letters written by select Apostles. He later used a confused King of England to bring about the existence of an "authorized" English version. Neither of the vehicles God used for His work's fulfillment are any better than the other. What's important is the end product.

My God is the creator of all that is. He is more than capable of making sure the "letters" He want's compiled will be compiled. He is also able to make sure that the translations from the original languages can be translated into English or any other language He wants. God has spoken through the mouth of a jackass, written on a wall and revealed himself through many other mediums. This does NOT make the mediums special. Even the Apostles are warned that before they can become a pillar in God's temple they must first overcome the sin of the old man and the world. There is NO OTHER WAY to do this than through Jesus Christ. Catholicism will not get anyone into the kingdom of God.

If it were not for those you hate you would never have known about Jesus, barring personal revelation. So good of you to know that only you have the truth, as determined by you alone without assistance from anyone. Do you have followers that live in your compound?
