"Man-made you say? If your Protestant or any of the derived churches, your church didn't start until the 15th century. The Catholic church was founded by Christ."

The "church" is the body of believers. The "church" started when Christ came and opened it up to nonJews. Christ was here before the 15th century and Christ did not start the Catholic church. The Catholic church was founded by Catholics, not Christ. If you diagree argue it out with Christ. I can only paraphrase what the Bible says and that supercedes the words and claims of mere imperfect mortals.

Says you. Who gave you the Bible? Who said what books were in it and others are not included? The early Catholic church settled this.
