Wait!

I'm confused again! If the RCC church, per MarkBsnr, "We were the ones who wrote Scripture, or in the case of the OT, selected it. We put the Bible together and we said what it is to be." is correct then what about this from an Eastern Orthodox website?

The Holy Scriptures Were Produced by the Orthodox Church. The Church"s holy prophets and Apostles wrote the books contained in the Bible. The Church determined which books were authoritative and belonged in Holy Scripture. The Church preserved and passed on the texts of these Scriptural books.

The seventy-two Jewish rabbis and scholars who gave us the Septuagint Greek Old Testament, produced seventy-two identical Greek translations working independently and in insolation from one another. Writing in Greek, the Holy Apostles Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, James, Peter, and Jude produced the books of the New Testament.

The Holy Scriptures Were Preserved by the Orthodox Church. These books and letters were studied, copied, collected, recopied, passed from group of early Christians to another, and read in the services of the Church.

If you would, please produce posting evidence that I claimed that of the Roman Catholic Church, as opposed to the Catholic Church. I’d suggest that you are merely muddying the waters here.

I am of the Roman Catholic rite. But I am first and foremost a member of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Please don’t attribute any more error to me than I currently possess.
