I have neither time nor energy to debate you on the meaning of who the church is

That’s a bit surprising, since your eternal salvation depends on the answer.

When you can produce chapter and verse that outlines the existance of the RCC, not including the misleading view espoused regarding the translation of the word rock, let me know.

That is a non sequitur. Christ never told anyone to write a Bible. The Catholic Church defined and protected the Bible through the ages. The Bible is an important part of the Church, and is read every day at Mass, but the Church established by Christ does not need the Bible. The Bible itself says it does not contain everything Christ taught. Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. John21:25

Why do you believe the Bible contains everything you need for salvation?

Well I've never head that one before from someone who claims to be a Christian...But heh, muzlims don't need the bible...Bhuddists don't need the bible...Satanists don't need the bible...

But you see, that's not really true...You guys need a bible...You need just enough scripture, however distorted you make it, to justify calling yourself Christians...

That's quite a statement...You don't need the word of God...
