The Bible is a Catholic book. We decided which writings were scripture and which were not based on teachings and tradition.
Then Mad Marty chopped it down to 66 books.
So which Bible do you go with? We’ve seen what the Bible alone teaching creates: schism. Even Mad Marty complained that every milk maid thought they knew what the Bible REALLY says.
. We decided which writings were scripture and which were not based on teachings and tradition.
And there in is the problem. In your view, it was written by man , not God. And Thus RC is a man made religioun.
The Bible is a Catholic book.
Act_17:11 And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.
Do you test everything with God’s word, or do you blindly follow tradition and what others tell you?
Do you know what Jesus says about traditions?
Nope, Scripture was written by the Jews, with the exception of Luke.
Then Mad Marty chopped it down to 66 books.
No, he didn’t but that never stopped Catholics from repeating that lie.
Luther Bible
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luther_Bible
“ The Luther Bible (German: Lutherbibel) is a German language Bible translation from Latin sources by Martin Luther. The New Testament was first published in September 1522, and the complete Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments with Apocrypha, in 1534.”
Nor did the Catholic church decide on the official canon of its Bible at the Council of Trent until AFTER Luther translated the books he did.

” The most explicit definition of the Catholic Canon is that given by the Council of Trent, Session IV, 1546. For the O. T. its catalogue reads as follows: “The five books of Moses (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), Josue, Judges, Ruth, the four books of Kings, two of Paralipomenon, the first and second of Esdras (which latter is called Nehemias), Tobias, Judith, Esther, Job, the Davidic Psalter (in number one hundred and fifty Psalms), Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, the Canticle of Canticles, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Isaias, Jeremias, with Baruch, Ezechiel, Daniel, the twelve minor Prophets (Osee, Joel, Amos, Abdias, Jonas, Micheas, Nahum, Habacuc, Sophonias, Aggeus, Zacharias, Malachias), two books of Machabees, the first and second”. The order of books copies that of the Council of Florence, 1442, and in its general plan is that of the Septuagint. The divergence of titles from those found in the Protestant versions is due to the fact that the official Latin Vulgate retained the forms of the Septuagint.”

You dont even know your tradition properly. If you checked some original sources, you would know the terminology was RECEIVED. Now, who were the scriptures received from?
You did not decide.
