Are you joking?
The apostles did not yet exist. The Church did not exist. Jesus’ public life had not yet happened. The New Testament did not exist.
Are you TRYING to make yourself preposterous?
Did you miss the thousands of years of Scripture, the chosen people of Israel, Jewish tradition, all Jewish leaders, etc.?
Did you miss that it was Christ - Second Person of the Trinity?
I doubt it. It's the word of God we're talking about, which many of us take far more seriously than Catholics do.
The apostles did not yet exist. The Church did not exist. Jesus’ public life had not yet happened. The New Testament did not exist.
Totally and completely irrelevant.
Scripture already existed and Jesus and the apostles used it many times to validate their claims about who Jesus was and He also appealed to it as a witness to who He was.
John 5:39-40 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
The authority and power of Scripture does not depend on any of the aforementioned factors.
They rest solely in their inherent nature as the God breathed, Holy Spirit inspired word of God.
They are authoritative on that basis alone.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Are you TRYING to make yourself preposterous?
I doubt that, too, as that position has already been taken. You seem more than willing to take up that mantle.
It simply wasn't written down yet as He was living it.
Are you TRYING to make yourself preposterous?
Are your insults getting the desired reaction yet?
Are you trying to prove yourself a fool? If you need help comprehending something posted, just ask, instead of spouting foolishness and non sequiturs.
