Borrowing this from Mrs. Don-o

As I always tell my RCIA students, Scripture doesn’t say, “For God so loved the world, He sent a book.”

If that is the case nor did he send “sacred tradition.”

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

Jesus did come and set us free and His word endures forever, it is good to read the bible.

Except that as it is Written John 1:1 In the beginning (that means Genesis) was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ........

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Why Mary is not named anywhere in the volume of the book as being 'begotten'. She to fulfill the prophecy came from the tribe of Judah, the king line and the tribe of Levi, the priest line. There were 12 tribes of Israel, each are named.

For God so loved the world that he did not send a committee.

Even if it is called the magisterium.

Snort! And I know His son better through this book. More Jesus, less Martin Luther

That is right, he sent his son to preach the truth and the book was written telling us the truth, so i think i will take the word of this book rather than Martin Luther,Pope John or Paul or professor smart or DR light, or any other know it all idealist getting rich off of their own interpretation.

The Scriptures do indeed say God sent a book, but if not God then who sent the Scriptures?

That is a good point. No one should worship a book, but the God Who breathed it and gave it to us.
