So in Catholics view, should you obey the Church over Christ, The Word?

If you have read through this post in its entirety, then you recognize that Christ established one Church and gave His authority to His disciples to rule and teach. His word is carried on through that Church:

"He that heareth you, heareth Me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth Me; and he that despiseth Me, despiseth Him that sent Me."  
  (Luke 10:16)

He never commanded anyone to write down His words. Everyone must obey the Catholic Church because She alone has the authority of Jesus to rule and to teach.

“His word is carried on through that Church:”

Which is CHRISTIANITY, NOT THE ROMAN VERSION ALONE!
Any church founded by a true disciple (regardless of era) is a true church of Christ! Many predate the Roman church! (Eg: Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Coptic) So, knock it off already!
Climb off your high horses, and repent you of your arrogance!

So the word of God then was not inspired (by God)...

1Jo 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

So Jesus DID NOT tell John to write this verse???

I got news for ya...If you don't have the written words of God, you don't have a Christian religion...

I don't what god you guys worship...Likely the same Allah that the muzlims worship...But many of us out here worship the God of the Bible...

Think those who wrote down some of His words took it upon themselves to do it or do you think it possible that the Holy Spirit had a little bit to do with it?

Only Jesus has the authority of Jesus.
