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?
Both faith and His Word come from God.
He doesn’t need the Church in order for His Plan to succeed.
By His grace, we are part of His Royal family and are His bride. We are given to the Son by the Father.
I love how Catholics are sooo modest about someones past efforts in history. We are talking about Gods Word, aren't we? Maybe God had something to do with it and men were the mere instrument to write and compile what they were moved to. Read 2Sam 23:2, Ezek. 1:3, Micah 1:1, 2Pet 1:21, etc . . . There is no person alive today that compiled it that's for sure.
