SCRIPTURE??? WHAT’S THAT??? >>

for the first 300 or so years after Christ, there was no bible as we know it today, and up to about a few hundred years ago, most Christians in the world did not know how to read. The Catholic Church has Sacred Tradition and the Papacy, the Catholic Church translated the bible, and if it weren’t for the Irish monks during the Middle Ages, there would be no bible today; follow the one and true church of Jesus, the Catholic Church.

You guys pull this out on every thread as if by rote.

Baloney.

They STILL don't!

Not that it matters; for a central authority has already read the book and told them what it REALLY means...

Do you honestly believe that God is that weak that He wouldn’t have found another way? Seriously? God uses evil and dishonest people all the time to work His will. Judas would be one example. Catholics trying to take credit for preserving scripture is like Judas taking credit for procuring our salvation.
