So are you saying that Isaiah wasn’t part of what was referred to as “it is written”? You actually believe that none of the writings of the apostles were considered authoritative? Seriously?

Let me rephrase my response. The compilation of scrolls that comprise one physical book (OT and NT), did not exist in 325 AD.

Let me rephrase my response. The compilation of scrolls that comprise one physical book (OT and NT), did not exist in 325 AD.

But the scrolls DID exist. It's irrelevant that they were not compiled together. The compilation of them did not make them Scripture. They are Scripture because they were intrinsically Scripture.

They were recognized as Scripture long before 325 AD and the *Catholic church* putting its stamp of approval on them changes nothing and means nothing, except to Catholics.

And that is in response to my original question which was “Didn’t they read the scriptures?”. Christ often said “it is written”. Paul commended the Bereans because they “searched the scriptures daily”. Now you try to infer that they didn’t have “scripture” until after the “Catholics” somehow decided what they were! It’s simply astounding that anyone takes the RCC or any of its followers seriously.
