The Catholic Church is an institution run by men, all kinds of men, and it is not THE Chruch Jesus is returning for some day. You’re big on ‘giving what the church says’ you are supposed to believe regarding scriptures, but there are so many man-made tenents where do you draw the line? ... With you, you don’t draw a line, you just swallow it all and tell us ‘the church’ is the authority. And if you doubt what I’m telling you, doa word study of the origins of ‘Lucifer’ in Old Testament translations. [HINT: was invented in second century AD when translating Isaiah 14, not found in the original texts; a whole mythos on Lucifer as satan has been invent over the centuries.]
All kinds of men and apartment owner as well?

I posted here the Scripture that gives the authority of the Church as given by Jesus. Men alone are like the Eunuch - staring blindly at the words; or else like the first millennium heretics - making it all up as they go along.

Certainly, the Church massaged the original books into the form that you wave around now. Matthew 28:19 (the Trinitarian formula), and the Comma Johanneum (to emphasize the Trinitarian formula) were not inserted into Scripture until late second or early third century, as well. And numerous other examples. So, does that mean that you will reject that Bible in your hand, which is created by the authorized men of the Church?
