God wrote the bible. The Church, The Body of Christ, did not write the bible. The Holy Spirit indwells the Body of Christ but it is He that wrote the bible, not the Body itself.

BTW, Rome/RCC is not the Body of Christ/Church. If it was, the bible would say so.

Ok, let's suppose that God told Luke what to write down to each individual word what to write.

How do we know that Luke wrote what God told him? Maybe he changed a word here, or fixed a word there?

God wrote the Bible through the Church, and then led the Church, through the Spirit, to select the canon from among the various Christian writings that were circulating in the first 4 centuries of the Christian era.

I am amazed that you would even attempt to dispute that obvious fact.

Irrelevant to my point. But how do you know that the Bible would say so? Where in the Bible does it say that it would?

It's right in the Scriptures. Plain as day no less. If you want to play silly semantics games (and I feel sorry for you if that's all you have left), the descriptor "Roman" is just a later innovation. Actually it was really something applied to us by Anglicans thinking that playing semantic games themselves would somehow elevate them to true (Anglican) Catholic status.

1 Tim 3:15
But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth.
