The Holy Spirit inspired it but the select Apostles wrote it. The Holy Spirit has no arms.

The Catholic Church protected it and very carefully proclaimed, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, what needed to be in the NT. And yes, the Church authorized what books would be part of the canon.

It was a Catholic bishop about 700 years ago who decided that there should be Chapter and verse separation so that it would be easier to read.

The use of the word "Catholic" was introduced in the fourth century in order to differentiate between those groveling in heresy and those who stuck by the truth.

There is so much you guys do not know. As is everything that happened for 1500 years before Martin Luther was of no use to God.

And there is so much you guys have added since the writings of the Apostles.

The name [Catholic] appears in Christian literature for the first time around the end of the first century. By the time it was written down, it had certainly already been in use, for the indications are that everybody understood exactly what was meant by the name when it was written.

"The Holy Spirit inspired it but the select Apostles wrote it."

What's that got to do with the Roman Catholic Church.

"The use of the word "Catholic" was introduced in the fourth century"

What are you talking about? The word catholic is just a translation of the ancient Greek word katholikos (latin: catholicus) which means universal or "according to the whole". It started being used to refer to the Christian church in the second century to emphasize the universal nature of the church. It wasn't until much later that it began being used to describe the Roman Catholic denomination.

Egypt preserved the witness of God (Abraham, and later Jacob) from famine.
The king of the Philistines preserved the witnesses of God (Abraham, then Isaac) from famine.
Elijah was preserved from famine by ravens, then a Gentile widow.
The Christ child was preserved from death threat by being hidden in Egypt.

Finally!

An admission of NEED!

All the OTHER additions to the PRACTICE of religion that Rome has added are albatrossian in nature.
