Question: Did John the Baptist "give" us the Messiah?

I do find it interesting that Protestant outreach is focused primarily on introducing people to the risen Christ, whereas Catholic outreach is primarily focused on introducing people to the Catholic Church.

So should we bow down and give glory to the Catholic Church because we have the cannon of scripture or should we bow down and give glory to God?

I vote for giving ALL the glory to God.

It is God who gave us his word. At best men have been but mere caretakers of his revealed word. If mankind will not take care to preserve God's word, then God is perfectly capable of writing it on tablets of stone.

Yes...and no.

You're right on the fact that the Bible came from God...but the books of the Bible were determined by men. I don't know if the average fundie-nut will be able to understand that, but I'll help you if you need it.

[TexConfederate1861]

Holy Tradition = Writings of the Holy Apostles + Oral Teachings + Teachings of the Venerable Fathers of the Church = THE HOLY BIBLE.

Thank you!

Perhaps plain English will allow some to SEE instead of this pumped up blasphemy.

How dare this misguided and ungodly author of this thread declare such nonsense. I don't believe God will look too kindly on him when he attempts to hijack and not give credit to God.
