The Church never gave man, the Bible.

Those who seek to usurp authority from God, claim they have inherited authority directly from Him and nobody else can have fellowship with Him except through them.

Such is not the Gospel.

God provides His Word to man and has given us Scripture to understand Him more directly through faith alone in Christ alone.

So you’re saying your faith is mediated through the Scriptures?

If the Church didn’t compile the Bible, where does it come from? Is it self-authenticating?
