Ha, no, I'll be annoying wherever I will. This is 4channel's purpose for me. But, first, I've never posted in this thread before. I'm a tourist from the philosophy threads. Second, I was pointing out you (whichever of you) didn't answer the question, but instead gave some argument from authority bs. Which yes yes logical fallacy, but more importantly it instinctively makes other people suspicious of everything else you said, and rightly so. Finally, like how new to the Internet are you, if you don't want to argue with someone, then stop responding. Can you do it? Maybe I'm your shining knight, bumping your slow ass thread.

Those verses are Jesus talking to people who didn't believe what he said to them in person, he isn't discussing the New Testament canon which they couldn't have read because it didn't exist yet. In any case, it took a long time for the canon to be determined, so not every book in it was recognised immediately by Christians. And it continued to be debated, especially the Old Testament, Jerome was skeptical about the books that didn't have Hebrew manuscripts, different manuscript traditions included different books, and Luther followed Jerome in seeing the non-Hebrew books as not inspired, plus he famously disapproved of the epistle of James calling it "an epistle of straw" but was eventually persuaded to keep it (he still moved it to the back of his Bible translation).
