Before the Bible there was the Church.
False. 2/3 of the Scriptures were written before the birth of Christ, though they prophesied about Him.
If Protestants don’t believe in the ONE true Church, why on earth do they use the Church’s calendar to celebrate Christmas, Good Friday, and Easter on the same dates observed by the one Church.
History, dear Steely. We do many things because of the development of history. This is not the same as believing that Rome is the OTC. You are making a category mistake here, FRiend.
Looks like the early Church fathers, some of whom were disciples of St. John, were all wrong.
At times, they all got things wrong, since they don't all agree and not everything they wrote is agreed to by Rome. At times, even the disciples were wrong and were corrected by Christ.
And the thousands of martyrs, saints, and theologians of the last two millennia all got it wrong.
They certainly got a lot wrong!Thankfully, God has always reserved to Himself those who believed. Dear Blessed Father Luther, for example.
And the tens of thousands of historians, Protestant theologians, atheists, and and scientists from all other faiths from ordinary workpeople to Kings and Queens who converted to Catholicism all got it wrong.
Yes, we agree. See how easy that is.Many millions/billions of people get things wrong every day of existence. Mormons, Hindus, Muslims, atheists, etc.
What did they miss?
CHRIST and CHRIST ALONE!
