Especially it&#39;s determining canon that we then recognize?).&#xA;&#xA;Scripture is God&#39;s word, but we both trust an authority to recognize what is and isn&#39;t canon, right?&#xA;&#xA;imo the 2+2=4 analogy fails because that&#39;s verifiable math. Many different churches have various canon. Whereas math is the same for everyone. If Scripture&#39;s divine status were as obvious as math, there wouldn&#39;t be disagreement, right?</html></oembed>
