Which came first the Bible or the Church?
It was St. Jerome who translated the Bible from Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek into Latin and then was passed on through the ages through the Catholic Church.
You might say, “Thanks for your “KJV” — even though Luther corrupted the text by adding words and taking out words as well as books. Hence many do not know the entire truth.
I’m not trying to criticize — just pointing out the truths of how the Bible got where it is today.
Luther wrote in English? I thought he was German. Doesn’t the KJV use EURASMUS’ Greek text?
“just pointing out the truths of how the Bible got where it is today.”
Uh huh. Heard that one before, don’t buy into it.
And as for the church, the scriptures were around before the church came to be. The Catholic Church bears no resemblance to the early church. The “extras” didn’t appear in the early church.
The New Testament scriptures aren’t any more corrupt than the Old Testament scriptures. Examination of the earliest autographs with the best of the translations back that up.
