  *** si p. 302 Study Number 4—The Bible and Its Canon ***

  The Roman Catholic Church claims responsibility for the decision as to which books should be included in the Bible canon, and reference is made to the Council of Carthage (397 C.E.), where a catalog of books was formulated. The opposite is true, however, because the canon, including the list of books making up the Christian Greek Scriptures, was already settled by then, that is, not by the decree of any council, but by the direction of God’s holy spirit—the same spirit that inspired the writing of those books in the first place. The testimony of later noninspired catalogers is valuable only as an acknowledgment of the Bible canon, which God’s spirit had authorized.

  Oh yeah ... God chose the books already, he just didn't tell anyone, then these catholic clowns come along and claim they picked them. What a joke!

  Hi Quotes
  
  I really enjoyed our visit, (we must do it again sometime)
  and since we've met, I know you were probably very patient and gentle - (the soft voice).
  
  So embarassing, why doesn't the WT sue these ladies?
  did you sign an agreement for the lit they left?
  
  I think the WT should just sue itself and be done with it.
  Bankrupt themselves so they can't print anymore embarassing "divine callings"
