No church can claim "they" wrote or "approved" what the Holy Spirit inspired and the apostles wrote down.

It is akin to a grand child taking their grand parents journal and telling people "I compiled this, and it would not exist without me."

An assertion on your part. The 'so many' Christian churches can be whittled down to what they point to as their infallible authority. Some point to men for such and many more point to Holy Scriptures because of their Divine attributes.

Thanks for the morning laugh.

I will say the Latin Vulgate is a very good work of Jerome. I keep an English translation copy of the Vulgate at my finger tips and often refer to it via the lexicon.

The Good News of Yeshua Messiah as Lord and Savior rings true in the Latin Vulgate.

Now I don't know of any snakes in Germany that need to be handled:) Plus Luther, from paintings of him, does not look like he has the physical stature to handle snakes.

So...when you are ready to discuss the issues let me know.

You make a large BANG based on silly assumptions.

The Universe is a mystery and can never be understood completely; all this with one minor exception: other than one single fundamental cognisant truth of mankind about being aware of being aware about ourselves.

All the world wide religion nonsense is about the same but trapped in some form of complicated historical faerie tale translated into "books" based on tradition and designed for those that think they have no other route to understand their own being. Is there a GOD? The question has no answer because if one trully exists "it" is a mystery.

You truly believe in nothing more than made up fantasies; true, the fantasies are traditional or historical records from farmers, sheepherders and folklore passed on from one generation to another that reveal an important "truth" to a small social society.

LOL. If you were educated in a Catholic school please get your parent's money back.

The 27 books we know as the NT were all complete and in circulation before the close of the 1st century AD.

In the second century church theologians wrote commentaries and wrote letters and polemical arguments using the scriptures both OT and NT. There are enough writings from these church fathers to build the Bible we have today without the over 5000 manuscripts available.

Sir, if you wish to debate this subject please suit up. The unfounded specious assertions won't work.

Let us start with ten for you to explain awy:

"Q": a 19th century liberal theological theory. Since the synoptic gospels have many of the same information and surprisingly match (in the liberal theologian mind this can't be!) they must have been from one source! Q theory discredited in the 20th century. No real theologian speaks of it except atheists today. There are no "Q" manuscripts.

Third Letter to the Corinthians: not known in the sub apostolic era. Authorship is not Paul.

The Didache: not a work of an apostle nor scribe of an apostle. Mark wrote his Gospel under Peter; Luke under Paul.

Gospel of Thomas: dated to the late 2nd century. Thomas was long dead after that. No apostle no scripture. Attributed to 2nd century Gnostics.

1st Clement: not an apostle. Good for Christians to read and heed but Clement was not an apostle.

Shepherd of Hermas: second century document. All apostles were already home with the Lord.

Infancy Gospel of James: Another document dated in the 2nd second century. See above about the apostles no longer alive in the second century.

The Epistle of Barnabas: Another good read. Earliest dating is to rule of Nerva at the end of the 1st century. The Barnabas who was a companion of Paul was long dead by then. Another work not authored by an apostle or scribe for living apostle.

Apocalypse of Peter: attributed to the late 2nd century. See above about the apostles and all no longer alive after the 1st century.

Lost Epistle to the Corinthians: I assume you mean the 3rd letter to the Corinthians. Dated to mid 2nd century. I think you know from the above the general timeframe of the 2nd century in relation to the 1st century. Paul was martyred in the mid 1st century. So again another work which is not of apostolic origin.

For all of the above I didn't even get into some of them are of dubious origins, and not resembling a work of the supposed author attribution is given.

So you ARE a "Bible Scholar" after all? Have you registered you credentials with the 0buma School of Choom?

All my perspective represents is a simple formula:

The Universe and all within "it" (or without "it") and all anything you or I can experience and all you or I can imagine or have knowledge about and everything about us is based on perception, intuition, cognition and varying conditions.

But...what or who is the Master Programmer of such perception, imagination, intuition, fantasy, and self-realization? Surely the universal 'Big Nothing in the Big Void' didn't just randomly bestow you with such complicated cerebral and physical attributes, an individual identity, and spiritual means from which to sense discernment and purpose?

The Universe is a mystery and can never be understood completely; all this with one minor exception: other than one single fundamental cognisant truth of mankind about being aware of being aware about ourselves.

Again - IF you are convinced that there is indeed an individual conscious awareness, is there not a soul that accompanies it?

There are only TWO distinct possibilities for the source of such consciousness and conscience:

1) NOTHING created you, your identity, and your spirit, and soul.

2) SOMETHING created you, your identity, and your spirit and soul.

Is there a GOD? The question has no answer because if one trully exists "it" is a mystery.

Since mathematically, nothing can create everything out of thin air -- never mind a conscious along with your unique identity -- by default, that leave #2: SOMETHING: aka, GOD.

It's up to you to accept the truth. Closing you eyes and mind, reminding blind and willfully ignorant is counter-intuitive. Hating and resenting God for what you perceive as a bad deal is addressed in a well known best seller called The Bible. Your "Mystery" has made perfect sense to millions. Why not you? Unless your grudge is to be carried beyond the grave, the worst investment ever.

Q theory discredited in the 20th century. No real theologian speaks of it except atheists today. There are no "Q" manuscripts.

I see that you believe in "real theologians" as the source for your rebuttal and clearly reflects on your capability to discuss the Q hypothesis with any level of analysis.

Third Letter to the Corinthians: not known in the sub apostolic era. Authorship is not Paul.

How do you know?

The Didache: not a work of an apostle nor scribe of an apostle. Mark wrote his Gospel under Peter; Luke under Paul.

Are you saying the Bible (the New Testament) is limited to a document published by an apostle? Why is your opinion a valid perspective?

Gospel of Thomas: dated to the late 2nd century. Thomas was long dead after that. No apostle no scripture. Attributed to 2nd century Gnostics.

I get it; lets dispel all data from the Nag Hammadi library. For your position, it is very clever to hide from additional data that reveals another facet about the life and times of Jesus.

1st Clement: not an apostle. Good for Christians to read and heed but Clement was not an apostle.

Wait a minute! If the book is not included in the Holy Bible from the framework of your own arguments, how is this text "good for Christians"; don't you think you are committing some sort of sin by suggesting such blasphemous behaviour?

Shepherd of Hermas: second century document. All apostles were already home with the Lord.

The Shepard was referenced by many early church leeaders such as Origen, Tertullian, Irenaeus and Clement of Alexandria. But, the Acts just didn't quite make it into the back room for advancing into the New Testament?

Infancy Gospel of James: Another document dated in the 2nd second century. See above about the apostles no longer alive in the second century.

What makes any later writings about Jesus any less value than those accepted into the Bible? The ground rules are arbitrary and inconsistent that writings are accepted only by a self-elected committee that accept "certain" writings and not others considered "canonical." All you suggest is that you accept or grovel towards some self-selected or imposed long gone, committee cramming down your throat what is revered or not. Were you one of the members of and about the Synod of Carthage to tell us the criteria of acceptance of the 27 books as inspired?

The Epistle of Barnabas: Another good read. Earliest dating is to rule of Nerva at the end of the 1st century. The Barnabas who was a companion of Paul was long dead by then. Another work not authored by an apostle or scribe for living apostle.

So what? You denounce "good reads" because some committee decided to remove the document as not being "canonical?" You are saying that you agree with some silly origin of the Catholic religion is all. Jesus did not initiate a church or some sort of religion.

Apocalypse of Peter: attributed to the late 2nd century. See above about the apostles and all no longer alive after the 1st century.

"attributed" is very suggestive to any readers by yourself masking the discussion.

Lost Epistle to the Corinthians: I assume you mean the 3rd letter to the Corinthians. Dated to mid 2nd century. I think you know from the above the general timeframe of the 2nd century in relation to the 1st century. Paul was martyred in the mid 1st century. So again another work which is not of apostolic origin.

Yuppers. It actually predates 1st Corinthians: 5:9 “I wrote to you in my (previous) letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.”

For all of the above I didn't even get into some of them are of dubious origins, and not resembling a work of the supposed author attribution is given.

You showed your true colours, though. Congratulations.

Again - IF you are convinced that there is indeed an individual conscious awareness, is there not a soul that accompanies it? What is the difference between a "soul" and your own "awareness" about the world around yourself?

There are only TWO distinct possibilities for the source of such consciousness and conscience: 1) NOTHING created you, your identity, and your spirit, and soul. 2) SOMETHING created you, your identity, and your spirit and soul.

Why? Because you said so?

Since mathematically, nothing can create everything out of thin air -- never mind a conscious along with your unique identity -- by default, that leave #2: SOMETHING: aka, GOD.

Explain your findings; please use mathematical models to prove your thesis. I find your analysis intriguing to the discussion.

It's up to you to accept the truth. Closing you eyes and mind, reminding blind and willfully ignorant is counter-intuitive. Hating and resenting God for what you perceive as a bad deal is addressed in a well known best seller called The Bible. Your "Mystery" has made perfect sense to millions. Why not you? Unless your grudge is to be carried beyond the grave, the worst investment ever.

What "truth?" Your opinion? Your opinion doesn't even pass a cursory interest other than a few moments of fun while I work away on serious projects.

Pridie, your requests have been satisfied.

They have? How do you know? What factual basis do you have to say, "your requests have been satisfied." You are outrageously presumptuous in scope of this discussion.
