Why do you believe the people who chose which books to include and which to exclude were on the inside track? What about the 7 books thrown out by Saint Jerome...was he a prophet?
Can we only truly know the Bible if we learn the ancient texts and read them in context to the times, customs, beliefs and education of the day and age?
If you say the people in 1611 were inspired by God...how do you not know that the JW's, Mormons, or other groups who have added to or taken away from the Bible were not inspired too?
How do you pick and choose who is inspired?
Doesn't this show that we should not interpret the Bible literally?
