Soooo, just where do you think you got “the bible” dear? That would be “from the Catholic Church”.

First, calling me dear, is condesending and does not add to this discussion. Second, only my wife calls me dear and I know you ain't her, so please leave that title off next time. Thank you.

Now, to answer where the Bible came from...It came from God. More specifically, it came from the Holy Spirit inspiring men to write.

John 14:16-17,25-26 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

[Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you.

But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.


The organization you think of as the Catholic Church didn't exist until around 300 years after Christ and about 200 years after the Bible (or more specifically the New Testament) was written. The canonization of the Bible didn't make the Bible worthy, all it did was publically recognize what God had inspired.

Do you realize that the Same Holy Spirit that inspired the Bible is given to all who accept Jesus as Savior so that you have an everlasting guide and comforter?

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

They have problems, but heresy is not the answer, finish corrupting Amerika first.

I'm not sure what you are insinuating other then I am a heretic. If that is what you are saying then please show me Scripture that backs that up, because that is a serious charge. Second, if you have proof that I'm 'corrupting Amerika' then please show the proof of that also. Otherwise your statements are just personal attacks which are against FR guidelines and don't add to the conversation.

Finally, why did you spell America with a "k"? That looks Nazi-ish to me and is offensive. All through my family ancestory from the Revolution to today, my family has served, bleed, and died to build and protect America.

I served 6 years in the Navy protecting AmeriCa. I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen. I am active in the Boy Scouts, my Church, my kids schools, and my community. My priorities are God first, Family second, and Country third. Telling me I'm corrupting America (with a bad spelling) doesn't help your position in the least.

If you disagree with my position...fine, but let's leave the slandering elsewhere. Thank you.

“The organization you think of as the Catholic Church didn’t exist until around 300 years after Christ and about 200 years after the Bible.”

Oh, please. ~Parsing that little ditty again.

Changing history to suit yourself doesn’t make it true.

The Catholic Church is established on Pentecost.
