I don't trust the church, neither one man.
That makes it even harder for me to trust the bible.
Discussion
I find it easier to trust the Bible than any one man... People in communities lived and died to keep the words of God... Now any one man who wants to interpret them for me is suspect under lots of conditions.
Yeah, but who defines what is the bible?
Doesn't bother me... I've read the Bible lots and a bunch of the other hebrew texts from the second temple period.
I don't know much about early church history, but my understanding is that councils came together and discovered which texts churches across large swaths of territory were using in common and compiled them into what we now know as the orthodox Bible... Maybe the catholics have the same one? I dunno, I was raised protestant and don't know much.
