The Holy Spirit gave us the Bible, not any church. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God.”
[The Holy Spirit gave us the Bible, not any church. All scripture is given by inspiration of God.]
The Holy Spirit gave us the Church AND the Bible. What do think Acts Chapter 2 is about?
On the Day of Pentecost, a book didn’t fall from the sky. The Holy Spirit came, and started a Church. And the Church existed for hundreds of years before there WAS an official New Testament. And - through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit - the Church WROTE the New Testament, USED the New Testament, received it as inspired, and bound it into a single volume.
The Church is OLDER than the Bible.
How do you think those 27 separate books became CONSIDERED “The New Testament”?
Because the Church received them as inspired.
