Read it and weep - ALL early Christians and Nazarenes were (cover your ears, Soothing Dave, :) - BAPTISTS!!! Your Catholic(sic) sect did not begin until about 250 A.D.
No matter how many times you try to contradict it, it is still the TRUTH!!!
And no matter how many times you say it, or how loudly, without any historical evidence of the existence of such Christians in that time period you are simply wasting good air.
EVIDENCE, man! EVIDENCE! And not phony made-up, "the evil Catholics destroyed it all except for this magazine article referring to the destroyed evidence" evidence! Real, accountable, actually in existence evidence.
Now, in this post we are told by you that that your "catholic"(sic) church "wrote the Scriptures!" How amazing! And all along I thought the Scriptures stated they were written by men inspired by God. (I did not know the Scriptures said the RCC was their author. Where does it say that, SD? Also, SD, where does Scripture say there was an RCC in the First Century? Thanks -:)
Actually where in Scripture does it say who the author of any of the books are? But that's another thing.
Yes, indeed. The original Church of God, the Combined Catholic/Orthodox Church's members wrote, compiled and canonized the Bible. The NT, anyway.

That is the way I took it and found it(the whole buddy Christ thing) quite funny for it shows, by absurdity, just how ridiculous those people are.
That's the way I took it. You can actually buy small statues of "Buddy Christ" from the viewaskew website. I should see if I can link a picture from over there. It's quite comical.
On a related note, did any other Catholic in here delight in the misery and gnashing of teeth that the people at the National Catholic Reporter(you know, the heretical one) and the rest of the usual suspects displayed over Liturgiam Authenticam a few months back?
If those jackasses don't like it then you can bet the farm that it is good for the Church.
You don't actually read such drivel, do you? I'm assuming you read their comments in some proper Catholic media, like the Wanderer. What remains to be seen is how the Bishops deal with LA in their annual meeting coming up. If there is a lot of opposition they can just "study" it to death like they have with ex corde ecclesia (supposed to have the local Bishop approve of theologians teaching at Catholic colleges.)
The document itself is a big victory for the "good guys," but we may have to fight to get our bishops to implement it.

Actually, the OT too. The Jews didn't get around to an "official" list of books until well after the time of Christ (The library at Alexandria maybe?).
