Ah, you see, all those authors, translators, editors, and indeed committee members were influenced and guided by god to ensure the true word of god was passed down. The fact that different versions don’t agree with each other is neither here nor there.
In the end we ended up with a weirdly written, contradictory work open to interpretation that is supposed to be treated as fact.
Ah, um, it’s… yes, it’s all part of god’s plan. God works in mysterious ways, you know. Yes, that’s bound to be it…part of the plan, mysterious ways, etc.
Yup. They always have that one, thought-terminating cliche to pull out. If you reject their claim then it’s always shifting the burden of proof onto you to “prove them wrong” when they have yet to even prove themselves correct.
It is very funny and quite disturbing how many Christians have no idea about how the Bible was created…
I am not even talking about who wrote the texts, that is a whole other mess, I am simply talking about how the Bible was created.
Many people treat it as the word of God, but it isn’t, it is a collection of texts written by many different authors.
The texts that makes up the Bible were selected by a committee.
Just imagine you being part of a committee at work to create the companies next big product, this was a similar process.
The committee members all had their own agendas and motives for selecting specific texts that supported their own politics and their own views.

If you think about it logically, it proves nothing more than the existence of a vivid imagination and a thriving fan community.
It doesn’t disprove the existence of a god, but it clearly does not prove it either.

Many know all that. They simply say god guided their hand.

The Council of Nicea and The Council of Trent were NOT comparable to a company meeting
The Pope gets Papal Authority from the Authority of Saint Paul, literally a successor to Saint Paul
That does not explain how it was different…
You have an organization, areange a meeting in the org and deal with an issue.
How is that not the same regardless of what kind of org it is?
