. The Catholic church did not "write" the Bible...The Holy Spirit inspired people through the ages to write it...Catholics, however, took the old testament, which was written before Christianity came into being, added the new testament books,teachings,historical events, traditions, personalities, ...and produced, edited, compiled, saved, copied (by hand), provided to libraries, palaces, monasteries and governments the compilation of both the old and new testaments that we now call the Bible. God very effectively used those early Christians (Catholics) to carry His word forward so that we have it today....Without the Catholic Church...there was no one else in the world who would have accomplished that task. We would, of course have the old testament, which the Jewish community would have protected....but the new testament, as we know it today, wouldn't exist.
There's more than a few Catholics on FR who have claimed otherwise :)
The fact is we have God’s word so getting hung up on who made that possible is simply a stall from picking it up on ones own and let God do what he promised by reading it.
I’ve found those who dispute such issues generally either aren’t saved to begin with and or are looking for arguments. When at issues is either God gave us His Word to guide us into His truths or He didn’t......
...”believing” that he did and not limiting Him from revealing Himself by making it more confusing then it needs to be just discourages people from picking it up for themselves.
Just pick it up and read.
