It is called Holy Scripture - God breathed and not the tradition of man or your church. God did not need your church or any man to convey His Word to His people. You misunderstand that those who He conveyed His Word through were tools in His hand and not the authors of Holy Scripture. That you believe your church decided what was Scripture and what was not is just another example of the arrogance of a church that worships itself.

(sigh)...I begin to think that you'd rather see Catholics in hell than atheists. I can just feel the love coming through here...

Once again, the same statement made above applies here:

2Th 2:15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.

Jhn 21:25 But there are also many other things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

1Cr 11:2 I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.

Three more verses to show where you are mistaken...

You do realize that the first books of the New Testament were most likely not written until 20 years after the Ascension and the foundation of the Church, right? The last books were not written until as late as 40 years after that. I wonder what the CHurch was doing in the meantime.

Sometimes I wonder if some Protestants are so absent-minded as to think that on the pages of the Bible is when things happen. As if Peter was given the Keys in Matthew 16 vs. being given the Keys sometime in the year 31 or 32. The people and events in the Bible are real history, folks. And it was already history when it was transcribed into the New Testament.

This is the best line posted all week. Good job!
