I am sorry, I am not real sharp, especially after 10:00 at night, I missed this. But in finding it today, I still see no specific scripture reference to why you believe this. Can you give me one/some?

I answered you in post 28. You didn't accept it because you don't accept Maccabees and a few others. Since you didn't accept Maccabees, I then traced it back to the foundations of Christianity and then explained how the bible is not a full scale doctrinal thesis. As I pointed out, it doesn't purport Catechism or teachings for the most part. You don't accept that either. I then explained to you that they purported doctrine and teachings for some 300 years before the bible was apporved and ratified. That doesn't hold weight with either. My last question was "Do you think the first 1500 years of Christianity erred?"
I will also ask you on who's authority do you have it that maccabees isn't inspired and other parts of the bible are? How do you know the right letters and gospels got put into the bible? How do you know that some inspired works weren't left out? My point is that you take the word of people who were no where close to apostolic times over people...many of whom knew the Lord and passed down the teaching by word of mouth until the bible was put together.
I guess we can agree to disagree. I thank you for the polite debate and for making the thread interesting. Regards.
