All that to try to prove that it was the Catholic Church that should get the glory for bringing us scripture? Even to the point of implying that because of that we should all somehow become part of that religion? I don’t think you got my point? I said all that was “picking at nits” because it matters not how or who God used to bring the scripture as we know it to this point. History is replete with evil people being used by God to further His plans. Time and time again even the Israelites fell from following God’s wishes and commands. Even if it was the Catholic Church which was the implement that God used to preserve His word it would be foolhardy to imply that they are therefore the “one true church”.

When the scriptures were translated from the original Greek instead of from the Latin of the Roman Catholic Church was when many of the errors of the RCC were brought more into focus. It was clear that translating from Greek to Latin and then translated to some other language brought forth errors. In that regard it could easily be said that the Catholic Church was trying to thwart true scripture from getting to us since all but Catholics understand that it was the Catholic Church who attempted to keep the scriptures out of the hands of lay people.

"Even if it was the Catholic Church which was the implement that God used to preserve His word it would be foolhardy to imply that they are therefore the '“one true church'."

Do you believe that one group of apostles mentioned in the Bible were the "one true group of apostles" chosen by God at that time?

If so, did that "one true group of apostles" include an evil man named "Judas Iscariot"?

When the other 11 apostles chose "Matthias" to replace "Judas Iscariot", was that newly updated group of 12 apostles the "one true group of apostles" (as viewed by God) at that point in time?

(This has absolutely NOTHING to do with trying to get the glory for being the conduit which God chose to give us His Sacred Scriptures.    Rather, it has EVERYTHING to do with trying to find the TRUTH about the Church that Jesus Christ gave His most solemn word He would build.)
