That comment is in reference to MAN compiling The Bible and determining those 50 or so books should be left out. The organized Church needed to control the populace. That’s what powerful men do. Haven’t you learned that yet? In no way have I denigrated the beautiful Bible. Your focusing on my Post, and my motives with it aren’t productive. If you don’t like it, fine. Downdoot the Post and move on.
And you want to defend the Catholic Church? Who’s the heretic now? I stand with the spirit of the Post. I have no problem with our Bible, but I have a problem with you. If you didn’t like the Post you should have just moved on. I’m not here to argue with anyone, but that seems to be your mission? If you don’t see the beauty of Thomas, then you’re blind, or just not your cup of tea? Much of what’s in it is in The Bible. It’s “parsed” and I’m moving on. You made your opinions clear.

Yeah, again I ask, what does that have to do with the gospel of Thomas?
What’s your problem?
I am asking you about your post. Why did you come to a message board without the intention of discussing your ideas?
AGAIN I ask, what does that have to do with the gospel of Thomas?
I think you're trying to conflate two ideas that do not belong together.
The Catholic church chose the proper books. Without the Catholic church you would have NO BIBLE.
You are out of your league.
That is the problem.
Your heretic bullshit is the problem.
You brought it here now you can defend it. Be intellectually honest and we'll see how this gets parsed out.
