***By attacking the Catholic Church, you merely bite the hand that has given you the Scriptures in the first place.***

The Holy Spirit gave us Scripture and ultimatly kept it safe. If He used the RC church to that end for a period of time, so be it.

What makes you think that the Catholic Church's version was the REAL version being guarded by the Spirit? Implicitly, you are trusting that the Catholic Church's claim is true - that THEY and THEY ALONE present God's Word. Either you trust the Church's claim, or you don't. By saying the Spirit guarded it means you are choosing one particular organization's claim over another...

The Holy Spirit gave us Scripture and the Catholic Church. Christ granted us the authority of the Pope.
