The fact that I believe the Bible is wrong in the places where it matters most and that Christianity is false and immoral like every other popular religion is not totally affirmed by my argument here. It supports it to some extent, but it isn't the point I'm trying to make
per se. My point is that people are wrong to think there is anything special about those 66 books, anything which seperates them from the ones which weren't canonised.
If there was something divine about those ones, and they
were inspired by God - they were God's 'chosen books', you might say - then the authors, who were divinely inspired messengers of God, would
presumably have known that and would have mentioned it explicitly. But they didn't. The authors were unaware of the opinions of the other Biblical authors, and this is illustrated by the inconsistency in the Bible, not just in its message but in its form - in some places poetry, others myth, or correspondence or history or sermon.
The fact that the books are not special and distinct from the apocryphal texts should present a problem for literalists who do believe that the Bible is special, and that these 66 books are the work of God, not merely men. They base much of their belief system on the Bible; it is of the highest authority to them. If you aren't a literalist and don't think the Bible is divinely inspired or the Church was corrupt, then this may not present an issue for you.
What are you getting at?
You're not making any sense, just rambling on about how the word of God isn't the Word of God.
Isaiah 55:10,11
10 As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
God bless you.
