And so faced with a RC who quotes the Bible, what is the RC (FatherofFive) response?

"The Church Christ established created the Bible."

However, this polemical assertion has been refuted numerous times, yet it is still the recourse of so many RCs. According to this, there was no body of Scriptures for the NT to establish its oral and written Truth claims upon, as it abundantly did.

And as it did, thus the NT did begin upon Scripture, while the Lord also commanded Scripture to be written, unless your canon only consists of the gospels, as it seems many RCs wish.

And according to the logic of "the Church wrote the Bible" polemical assertion, the instruments and stewards of Scripture are to be submitted to. Would you defend that?

In addition, the Scriptures do not owe their authority to the Roman magisterium, which they were not a project of, nor was or is such essential in order for souls to know what was of God or not, though the Biblical magisterium has its valid place.

Yet among many other things , nor do the Scriptures anywhere teach perpetual magisterial infallibility, which is the basis for the veracity of RC teaching, and your assurance of Truth.

In addition, Trapped Behind Enemy Lines is criticized for disagreement in 5-10% of what it says, and which is condemned referring to things like abortion, which was not the manner of issues mentioned.

Then FatherofFive asks "Do you believe in the Magisterium? Do you know what it is? What needs to be asked is what percentage of all that RCs believe or practice disallows any disagreement. Does he know?

And note the caucus label was removed.

Then answer these simple questions:

1) Where did Jesus give instructions that the Christian faith should be based exclusively on a book?

2) Where did Jesus tell His apostles to write anything down and compile it into an authoritative book?

3) Where in the New Testament do the apostles tell future generations that the Christian faith will be based solely on a book?

4) Where in the Bible do we find an inspired and infallible list of books that should belong in the Bible?
