If you are referring to the Apocrypha then I would disagree. those books were never verified as canon. Your position is a Catholic one.

The Catholic Church did not want a version of the Bible translated into the common language of the people, mainly because they were interested in maintaining their hold on the people. The Catholic Church did everything they could to prevent the KJB from being created.

And I will confess that I do not have any love for the Catholic Church it has shed too much blood in the name of Christ. And that's aside from its doctrinal issues.

So for nearly eighteen hundred years the Holy Spirit allowed all copies of the Bible to include books that shouldn't have been included, right ? That is, the Holy Spirit aided and abetted the spreading of the delusion that books were inspired when they actually weren't.

Well, there goes the Trinity because if the Holy Spirit isn't perfect the Holy Spirit isn't a part of the Trinity. So, either those books are inspired and part of the canon or the Holy Spirit is imperfect and there is no Trinity.

In fact, given that the Holy Spirit, according to your view, would have aided and abetted Satan by allowing Christians to believe books which weren't inspired actually were, your version of the Holy Spirit is that the Holy Spirit aids Satan by helping lead Christians astray.

Thanks for clearing up several things. You've let us know that there's no Trinity, that Christ lied when He said the Holy Spirit would be our comforter since comforting Christians can't possibly include helping Satan lead them astray and, last but not least, that Christ is a liar and therefore not the Son of God our perfect Savior.

Very helpful of you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutenberg_Bible

The Gutenberg Bible (also known as the 42-line Bible, the Mazarin Bible or the B42) was the first major book printed in the West using movable type. It marked the start of the “Gutenberg Revolution” and the age of the printed book in the West. Widely praised for its high aesthetic and artistic qualities,[1] the book has an iconic status. Written in Latin, the Gutenberg Bible is an edition of the Vulgate, printed by Johannes Gutenberg, in Mainz, in present-day Germany, in the 1450s.
