Scripture is the inspired and authorative word of god
Everyting else is the work of mere men
Some of those dudes have a lot of insight
but they don't stand higher than scripture
Do you have a problem with biblical inerrancy?
>an interperation
@Deleted User hmm
scripture is obv infallible
but it's interperation
what is
interperation of scripture
What is your point?
The interperation of scripture, how do we make interperation infallible?
Well..
you can't
by definition
Like, there are points in the text where it is pretty obvious
Why not use an Eccumenial Council <:thinkHD:306271252254031873>
And you can't weave around it
We have the nicene creed
also, who dictates what Books belong in the Bible?
And we have the Westminister confession of faith
Well the early councils decided that didn't they man
We have used what was used since then haven't we
For almost 2000 years
>Well the early councils decided that didn't they man
what did he mean by this

The bible in its current 66 books form came to be over many years very early on in the church bro
I mean unless you have some greater insight into the matter
I'd love to hear
But who allowed that?
You're asking a pretty broad question that has been covered at lengths in varous books by people way more knowledgable of the subject than you or me man
I'm curious, what about yourself and your background man
You said you're orthodox
Actually no, wasn't it Eccumenial Councils?
and idk what you want from me, I'm Orthodox, yeah
ok
Well um, actually after having done some reading, i don't really know you can point to a specific point in history where suddenly bam we had the new testament. It was a historical process or development.
actually it took a couple of hundred years to get Revelations in
