Church came before Scripture. No Church = No Scripture for protestants to get confused in with their own notions of Truth

Oh? The Catholic church wrote the Old Testament?

I thought the JEWS gave us Scripture. At least that's what Paul says in Romans.

Or was the Catholic church wrong when it allegedly put that in the letter to the Romans?

Romans 3:1-2 Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.

Additionally, truth is not the Catholic church. It is found outside of it as God is truth, and the Catholic church is not God.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

There are claims made by Catholics that are just stunning in not only their falsehood but in their arrogance and pomposity as well. The claim that the Catholic Church gave us scripture has to be at the top of that list.
