So I just showed you where the Bible justifies what I’m saying and you claim what I quoted doesn’t count because, if true, you’d be condemned as a heretic.

Maybe—just hear me out here—you’re twisting scripture to your own destruction.

The evidence says your canonical version is the twisted one. Tertullian makes it look like that passage was omitted in Marcion's Apostolikon. It just so happens that that same passage has a very unusual amount of words and stylistic choices that are unlike Paul. A complete coincidence, I'm sure. It also makes far better sense when the interpolation is removed, resulting in a coherent argument related to what he was talking about beforehand rather than random zigzagging from topic to topic and contradicting itself at every turn.

It wouldn't matter much though. Who said it's Paul's place to decide these matters?

Let’s not play “invent my own religion”.

The Bible says what it says, and whether you believe it is a moot point and red herring to just keep the discussion going.

I'm not inventing my own religion, or I'd just be repeating the same process all over again. The fact is the church invented the Bible in the 4th century. It was not designated by God, nor did he promise to preserve it or have it inerrant.

Tell it to God’s face when He asks you by 2030.

Well first I'm going to have to make sure he's actually God and not an archon pretending to be God. And if I'm being judged I already know it's an archon, because the real God went through so much trouble to get us acquitted.

I also know that God is not the Catholic Church, so that won't be a problem with him. He wants us to listen to Jesus, not "the Bible", which has become a major idol.
