I think their only two, arminianism and calvinism.

I'd say those are two subdivisions within Protestantism.

Christians really are good at splintering into many, many groups. o_O

Those are Protestant. It doesn't apply to Catholics or Orthodox or other Eastern sects.

Or to Lutherans, just as an addendum.

Arminianism and Calvinism are really only two divisions within the Reformed side of Protestantism. Though "Reformed" generally means "Calvinist" in a modern context; Jacob Arminius himself was a Reformed theologian and the dispute between the Remonstrants (Arminians) and what would become orthodox Calvinism was firmly an inter-Reformed dispute.

NO! Catholicism does NOT teach that works saves us. PERIOD. The grace of God saves us.

I'm a Grandmaster and I read the Bible.
The 66 book Bible is completed.
End of that.
Yes, I also read the Bible. The Septuagint.

God Bless

maybe some were authored by God. Probably mostly by men alone.
Jesus used the Septuagint. The Christian gospels quote them.

Since Jesus and his Apostles were Jewish bar mitzvahs and everything, there should be no problem with giving a blessing in the synagogue. I mean they are kind of the chosen people. My Parish does ecumenical services all the time with the local Temple. Especially around the holidays.

I rather give books that were authored by God and say this is the Word of God to the person I'm proclaiming the Gospel. How can I hand over mixed fiction/truths to them and tell then God wrote that? Same with 7 extra uninspired books.
