How's Your Hermeneutic?

[Rippon]

Well stated. Pick on spelling to obfuscate the issue so no one will see we have no real rebuttal.

HA, HA. I just noticed this.

Wow! How can noting a stupid spelling mistake completely overturn an issue prevent a real rebuttal. You are displaying a poverty of logic.

Thank you Mr Spock

Whether you like it or not you can trace your Christian heritage to the Reformation.

It seems you are insisting that Hank rightly identifies as a Protestant. No? Which would be the equivalent of a black man today identifying as a slave. Maybe I am misunderstanding you....

Correct, I am not a Protestant.
I am not a Democrat I will never vote for a Democrat.
I am not a Republican though I may vote for a Republican.

To me to be called a Protestant legitimizes the Church of Rome by saying it only needs to be protested against.

I do not "protest" the Church of Rome, I separate from it.

It is corrupt and has corrupted the Everlasting Gospel.

You are protestant. You added a fake rule that does not exist in scripture.

If I put you in a library where all the books of the bible are seperate along with fakes of those books......

You could never pick out what books belong to make the bible.

Plenty of you here can't even name the 66 books without a google maybe some of you seminaries indoctrination to memorize, gee I wonder why?


Tell us what books belong in the bible, protestant. No cheating.


The truth is you need the AUTHORITY to choose the books for you.

This is true utilyan, however that authority came long before the leaven of corruption entered into the hierarchy of the Church of Rome.

It was actually not until 367 AD that the church father Athanasius first provided the complete listing of the 66 books belonging to the canon.

• He distinguished those from other books that were widely circulated and he noted that those 66 books were the ones, and the only ones, universally accepted.
• The point is that the formation of the canon did not come all at once like a thunderbolt, but was the product of centuries of reflection.

How were the books of the Bible chosen?

The Catholic Church did do a very good job with the preservation of the Word of God.
for nearly 1000 years she preserved the Word of God in the Latin Vulgate.

I am not a Protestant even by the nomenclature of the Catholic Church - I am separated - a Separatist.
I believe the Reformation was largely a failure.

Well I prefer if your attitude was pointing at the clergy which you feel are corrupt and call them "Separatist" and pick up the spirit of what you believe the Reformation is and don't fail. God is going to back up your good conscience, never give up.
