“For the Early Church, the BIBLE did not exist

Then you are calling a liar the very scriptures that claim otherwise...Peter regognized and acknowledged that the letters (epistles) that Paul wrote and preached from was 'scripture'...

Also, the Catholic Church is the MOTHER of the Bible.

Again, sorry...Is this one of the truths your religion gets from the scripture??? I think not...

You will notice that no book of the New Testament references chapter and verse of a New Testament book, by name.

The NT apostles didn't name their 'books'...They were letters to different churches and groups...And Peter referenced Paul's BOOKS...

The Bible did not exist until the Catholic Church decided to create the Bible. This is FACT!

Just like evolution, eh??? Do you mean a leather bound book with gilded edges and a blue ribbon for a placemarker??? Or do you mean the scriptures???

The scriptures were written, carried around, copied and distrubuted by the apostles...And they may have been catholic (if you want to translate into Latin) but they certainly were not Catholic...

You are an anti Catholic bigot.

Yah, and I discriminate too...

LOL
You pull “proof” out of the sky.

YES the separate animal skin, vellum or ancient manuscript forms of the several Letters and Books existed at the time, but they were NOT a “New Testament” until the Catholic Church created the New Testament, keeping out the Heretical works and Canonizing those that the Chruch found to be Canonical.

Nobody who has EVER been involved in the translation of the Protestant versions has ever done so without, also, consulting the Catholic versions.

You are ignorant of Bible history.

“Scripture” is the phrase that Peter used.

NOT “Bible” !!

The Bible is the creation of the Catholic Church, inspired by God.

Until the various councils of the Catholic Church created the Bible, all we had was a few, scattered, separate manuscripts. It was rare to have all of those manuscripts in the same place, at the same time.

Are you an advocate for adding creationism to school science classes?
