More snide remarks, my you have changed, Loren.

On the one hand you CLAIM to want a discussion of theology,
but on the other you seem to have reverted to some lower
life
form.

I suggest the you read the Bible, for a change.
Maybe God can change you.

Do they? I thought you were paying enough attention in this NG to notice that
not all agree.

And _this_ ranking is VERY Lutheran. Certainly the Orthodox would only agree
with your ranking the Gospels at the top. When you rank James at the bottom, you
are reflecting Luther's bizarre condemnation of Scripture,when he called James
"an epistle of straw".

>We read James as informed by John, and not vv.

Again, a very Lutheran way of reading the NT.

>The ranking

And again, the way the ranking is done differs. Not all share the Lutheran
ranking.

>A council can't really decide on or choose a canon.

Why not?

Did you notice that the councils dod not agree even with each other when they do
this?

But this is not true. They _do_ quote from them. Many of us have now seen h
