Why then and not now?
That is interesting, ps.
If I understand correctly, the mainstream idea of orthodox churches is that God shepherded the Bible into its current form: its books were not written all at once, nor compiled at one go, and some pieces were added and then removed.
Why has that process ended? Was there some revelation of "C'est Finis!"?
It took centuries to produce the Bible in its present form(s)--why is it considered finished now? Who first said it was? From the Protestant point of view, I guess we can assume it was not the Catholic Church that declared it finished, since Protestants dropped the Apocrypha, etc.. Was it King James? Luther?
