of course the scriptures come from God....but He used the Catholics to write them....the Apostles were the early Catholic bishops, Paul and others were also early Catholics. God also used the Catholic church to edit, protect, copy, transcribe....whatever needed, the scripture writings. Through the ages the bible was copied, by hand, in Catholic Monastaries throughout the world. It is because of their efforts in this area that we have the bible today....without the work of God THROUGH the Catholic church, you wouldn't even know what a bible was.....they wrote it, they copied it and they saved it for posterity, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
No, he used the Christian followers of Jesus to write the scripture, led by the Holy Spirit.
Christians were made into Catholics retroactively about 300 years later.
Scripture makes it clear that there was a universal (catholic) church, not a Popeified church.
the word Pope has nothing to do with the bible nor its teachings.
Correct. And the pope designation is not used in Christianity
Hmmm, interesting that Catholics capitalize "Pope" but not Bible.
Pope is what members of an organization (Catholic Church) call their elected leader.....nothing biblical necessary.
No Catholics around for a couple of centuries after Jesus was around, so Peter was not a "Pope."
You nailed it, nothing Biblical about a "Pope."
And without Judas betraying Jesus we wouldn’t have salvation through His shed blood. That’s the logic of the Catholic statement about how they gave us scripture. God uses many evil people to fulfill His purposes. Catholics would do well to remember that. Just because God used them doesn’t get them saved.
