Default why are there 66 books in the bible?
This has been on my mind for a while and I wanted to know your guys opinions. '6' is the number of man, or imperfection. '7' being the number for perfection. So why is there 66 books in the bible, not something like 77 ?? Doesn't it make it seem that the bible is somewhat imperfect? '6' - man, '666' - beast, '66' - The bible?

Well, obviously god and the bible are imperfect. Not only that but the people writting the bible most likely were not only not intellegent enough to realize this, but also these numbers were not enstated until later in my opinoin.

How is this so obvious to you from the OP? So, the people writing the books in the Bible were of inferior intellect to yourself?

Not everything can correspond to symbols. Symbols are human creations, anyways.

Because the Reformers removed the Deuterocannonicals. Only Protestants use a 66 book Bible. All the Apostolic churches (Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Oriental Orthodox) have longer canons. The Eastern and Oriental orthodox canons are the same, with the exception of the Ethiopians who have a few additional books, and the Roman Catholic canon is organised slightly differently and has a few less books, but all of us use significantly more than 66.
