Tell me, are you thankful to the Jews for "preserving" the word of God for over three THOUSAND years before Christians arrived? Unless you are willing to do that, I don't see how it can be justified that everyone must thank the "Catholics" (capital "c") for doing so.

OF COURSE we should be thankful to the Jews for writing and preserving the teachings of God up until the new testament era...without the Jews and their historical and religious records, we would know nothing of how religious history developed....the Catholics took over from there...the Jews still continue with their writings as they had before, but they deny the Messiah....Christians recognize the Messiah and while we continue to honor and respect the old testament, we are now continueing to write the new testament. Bible history goes on and it always will....it didn't stop with Jesus, it continues so we can understand God's workings in the modern world...we know about the revolution, we know about Vatican councils, we know about dogmas added as time went by, and we will know a thousand years from now what the church did during those years.

Bible history does NOT continue on. It ceased with the writing of the Holy Spirit through John with the Book of Revelation. You may THINK what you are receiving is “Bible history”, but...
