The argument is often made that the Catholic Church gave us the Bible, but this could not be further from the truth. Only God could give us the Bible. It was originally authored by Him (II Tim. 3:16) and then preserved by Him (Psalm 12:6-7). The confusion, however, comes from the two streams of Scripture that came out of the Middle East after the time of Christ. The Christians were first called Christians at Antioch, where they diligently copied the Scriptures, and spread them throughout the world. However, Alexandria was the home of scholars who gloried in their knowledge (Jer. 9:24) rather than in Christ, and took copies of the perfect, preserved Word of God and changed them. One in particular, Origen, was extremely proactive in his aggressive revision of Gods Holy Words. His version combined his own works known as the Apocrypha with the Hebrew New Testament in a Greek version (the language of the proud intellectuals of Alexandria). But the Baptist sect known as the Vaudois, were speaking a new language Latin. They translated the pure Hebrew Scriptures into Latin, which became the world language, and carried them across the world. Rome, however, slaughtered the Christians in blatant persecution of these diligent carriers of Gods Holy Word.

1. The Church recognized the Bible - the NT. This happened BEFORE Rome insisted on the primacy of their bishop and
left the Orthodox Church.
2. God worked through human agency to write and recognize and preserve His Word.
Glory to Him alone.
Dr. Dino...
Amen!
Catholicism = The Real Thing
Everything else = Sam’s Club Cola......introduced 1639 years later.
LOL! Even though that’s 100% false it is very funny.
one other note...
U.S. and World Catholic membership up. [FACT]
U.S. and World Protestant membership down. [FACT]
This blogosphere naysaying turns more people on to Catholicism than you'll ever know!
Remarkable how similar jihadists are in the invincibility of their ignorance.
Why so blasphemous?
The Scripture is the inspired word of God, written solely by men. We have no need to claim it was handed down by His angel.
Prophets were sent to change the hearts of men, not to be Walter Cronkite looking into the future.
The history of what is Scripture and what is apocrypha or even blasphemy is long and contentious, both in the Jewish and Christian traditions.
Yes, these are the days of apostasy and people are turning away from the truth and following lies.
Some random, self-important nutcase no one has ever heard of dissing St. Jerome. Never ceases to amaze me that people go out of their way to insult and denigrate fellow Christians. Not very “Christian” of them.
Odd posting. Gratuitous attacks on Catholics and whitewashes out any mention of the Jews
“But the Baptist sect known as the Vaudois, were speaking a new language Latin.”
The author of the above statement forgot a basic rule of living in the modern world: People who use crack should not post on the internet.
Isn't "Dr. Dino" actually Kent Hovind, the creationist currently serving jail time for tax evasion?
You see blasphemy in my comment? How so?
I don’t mean to do so. I’m just trying to get everyone from all faiths to turn from man made traditions and serve Christ only.
peace
Only one service organization is gaining members. The Knights of Columbus!
Not sure about the jail time, but you got the right guy.
