  The Wessiah is back! Seeming to prove he can misinform with the best of them.

  I think Wes's point (that I'm surprised you did jump on Dan) at the end of the video, Wes talks about how we took the "dead scrolls and the Septuagint bound these single writings into single bound volumes, but in the ancient world they were independent books." - that is the vast majority of the Bible.  They were single-source writings/books/letters that we took and bound together to create a Bible. Apologetics as a whole is a false flag operation set to defend a faulty premise that the bible is univocal and inerrant.  One of my mentors was a man named Trent Butler.  He was one of the translators of the NIV Bible (which he didn't like) and said the greatest harm of Bible translation is the effort to make it univocal, stripping the authors of their own nuances, personalities, and worldviews in favor of univocality!  I appreciate what you do, Dan. Keep up the work!

  An apologist with a PhD, constrained by a statement of faith, is just begging the question.

  Any discussion about &quot;what is scripture&quot; will result in people just retreating to their theological camps.

  Oddly enough, I can agree with his final point about them being libraries later bound into volumes and given titles. However, such a definition would equally apply to the bible.

  Good on you, Dan, for continuing to respond to Wes. At this point I don&apos;t expect him to be anything but disingenuous, and his very voice grates on my soul.

  I appreciate your objectivity and logical discipline. &nbsp;You always present a level of academic rigor that is far too rare - especially in the YouTube environment.<br><br>There seems to be a reluctance for many authors to say, &quot;We don&apos;t know&quot; or &quot;There isn&apos;t enough information to answer that.&quot; &nbsp;Though, given that religion appears to have been invented to answer unanswerable questions, this should not be surprising.

  The old “I have lots of books” argument, eh?

  The true canon is obvious. It’s that first one you see in Pirates of the Caribbean.
