RONCRISS It DOES indicate that it was altered. The problem is one of athorization. For example, the Catholic Church at a later date selected those texts extant at the time as the inspired canon of Scripture, ruling out others. The Scripture is a tool for the use of the Church (Jewish and Christian). This underlines the necessity of a valid authority. The term "sola scriptura" is not found in the Bible. Jesus promised to guide His Church, not His scriptures. Pax, Ron ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
