“Catholics didn’t put any important scripture together.”

I see. So when did the first ‘bible’ come out with all the scriptures bound together in the list that you use?

“The gospels were in the northern limits of the british isles 250 years before Constantine created the Roman catholic church.”

So you don’t consider Origen to be Roman Catholic?

“They were brought there by followers of “the way,” who were true worshipers of Yeshua”

I see. So what you’re saying is that this whole structure of Bishops and priests and archbishops and Popes was created by Constantine.

The word was spread by believers carrying individual copies of manuscripts long before printing presses or halls full of scribes came along.

The closest thing to a book at that time was the scrolled codex of the Jews. That was what was carried as “scripture” by the believers for several centuries.

Remember about the Bereans? They were noted for searching the scrolls to verify the truth of the apostles words.

.
What you describe is what Yeshua denounced as “the nicolaitanes.”

That began in the first century, but had no connection to Yeshua whatsoever. It is what Constantine took and formed his pagan abomination.

Yeshua’s way had no “great ones” (Rabbis, Priests that he forbade) All were brothers and sisters and shared the work and the joy.
