Just another obvious reason not to rely on man for answers and why I am not Catholic. I couldn't be. I rely on God for answers and I get my answers from the Bible.

For which you can thank the Catholic Church :-)

Mark 13:31 - heaven and earth will pass away, but Jesus' Word will not pass away. But Jesus never says anything about His Word being entirely committed to a book. Also, it took 400 years to compile the Bible, and another 1,000 years to invent the printing press. How was the Word of God communicated? Orally, by the bishops of the Church, with the guidance and protection of the Holy Spirit.

"For which you can thank the Catholic Church :-)"

No, I thank GOD for the Bible; certainly not the Catholic church or any other group of sinners.

Good grief!

To steal God's credit is getting close to blasphemy. Surely you don't DISbelieve this ->

2Tim.3:16

[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

I will happily take God's word over man's word any day of the week. Hope fully the above verse from God will help you come to terms with your questions on just Who brought about the Bible.
