We got our orders from Jesus Himself. We wrote down a whole bunch of writings over a period of many years, amassed them, and decided which writings were to be known as Sacred Scripture.

No....I'm sorry, you are misinformed. Your organization received nothing from Our Lord. The Apostles wrote down the early writings of the Church....and the Holy Spirit preserved them.

By the time Constantine made you folks the Imperial church of the empire no one would have recognized you as something from which Christianity evolved. There was no similarity. The true Church from the Apostles onward observed the Feasts and Sabbaths of Our Lord....something you folks despise as "Jewish".

A disgruntled ex priest decided that he could start his own church, axed a number of writings of what had been accepted for 1200 years, and spawned the myriad man-made churches that we see today.

I totally agree here....Martin Luther was also an Apostate....as your Magesterium is.....and his teachings have led many people into great error also.

There is little about your organization that would indicate Biblical beginnings.

Oh really?

So what you’re telling me is that the New Testament was written by:

Simon Peter - check

Andrew: brother of Peter, James and John: sons of Zebedee - must have missed his stuff

Thomas: ditto

James - ditto

Matthew: the tax collector, some identify with Levi son of Alphaeus - he wrote the Gospel of Matthew, right?

Simon the Canaanite: called in Luke and Acts “Simon the Zealot” - musta missed him too

Judas Iscariot - we have lots from him

Judas, son of James - got everything he ever wrote.

Wait a minute. Let’s go back to the New Testament.

We have the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. All Apostles, right?

Paul - well, okay.

But we know that SOMEBODY wrote Hebrews - the Apostle whom?

James - are you saying that this is from the Apostle James?

John - is this truly John the Apostle?

Jude - ditto?

Revelation - Ditto?

Who’s misinformed? There appears to be some sizeable holes in your statements. Better get that tinfoil hat on - somebody’s beaming you thoughts of Constantine.

Just thought of a new tagline - The One Holy and Apostolic Church of Christ - Not only do you get the Whole Bible, but you eventually get to meet our Founder.

The official church of the roman empire from before constantine until after his death was paganism, and never changed. Thems the FACTS.
