Now there is a good Q! Sure, prolly a sin, but the pub'er who does that wouldn't care, anyway.

Oh. How much killing does a book need to be disqualified?

Probably not.

How long ago would this kind of action not have been a sin?

Like your next Q, above, it is going to depend upon their premise, which for "armaments" is killing, while for Books of the Bible, it is illuminating a reality, repeated over and over, so that it may not be repeated, bringing life.

The Bible is clear that if that were done right now, in ignorance, it would not be a "sin."
So again, it is what is in the heart that matters.

T, wouldn't hurt to maybe provide a def of Scripture, which has changed since many of those books were written? Scripture used to be, like, anything the people of the day considered important enough to write down (an expensive proces then), and not really what we mean today. does "Scripture" = "Holy?"

Yes, the word translated "scripture" in the NT literally means "writing", though it seems clear that the NT writers meant more than just that.

For the purpose of this thread, I am talking about writings that are purported to be inspired by God, and the result being just what God wanted it to be. In other words: the Bible.

But the contents of the Bible are not universally agreed on, as I showed in the first post. But I'm honestly surprised that still nobody has said those 66 I listed are the right ones! I thought nearly all AFFers would think so.

Oh--well, AFF is a "spiritual sewer," don'cha know...
