Nope...the burden's on you for this. The rcc only recognized their bible at Trent in the 1500s. Not sure what they were operating under prior to that. The Christian church had their Bible long before that.

Nope..history is on my side...if Christians had a Bible, other than the Catholic Bible...who wrote it??

Why could you even make the statement that the Catholics didn't have a Bible before the 1500's but whatever christians that there were before then (NONE)had one????

Pius III was the Pope in 1503 (#215) and you say they didn't have a Bible????

Just explain that to me...I'm obviously not too bright...Pope #215...No Bible....No Protestants (not around for a few years yet) no other Christians.....how did Christianity ever survive that???????

Nope...'fraid not. The Christians in the early church moved by the Holy Spirit penned the words we have today in the Bible.

You claim a roman catholic church member wrote the current Bible we have today.

However, in no place in the NT does any writer declare they are a member of the roman catholic church.

There are lots of places where the NT talks about the church. The word used is ekklesia and generally means people who have been called out from the world and to God, the universal body of believers who God calls from the world and into His eternal kingdom.

I find no mention of the roman catholic church in that definition.
