I'd never been taught growing up in a non-Catholic denomination that in the past it was Popes and councils of Catholic men who picked and chose what chapters/books would be included in the 'official' Bible. Who's to say they were actually unbiased and led by god in their choices when free will and biases still exist? It's why in the Jewish religion the Tora is separate. That's not even getting into all the changes in translation along with cultural context. Did you know 'Satan' as we know him does not actually exist within the Bible and some of the cultural contexts to the original Jewish words used in the Old Testament are believed to be referring to an enemy king at the time? Homosexuality was also originally a word used for pedophiles towards young boys.
