Interesting. We wrote it; we chose it; we translated it; we bring to the heretic, the apostate and the heathen.

What flawless reasoning - The Catholic church decrees that all the writers of the NT are Catholics, therefore the Catholic Church wrote the NT. Circular reasoning par excellence.

FWIW, the Catholic Church did NOT write the OT or choose it. That was written by Jews and recognized as Scripture long before the Catholic Church came on the scene, so the RCC taking credit for *writing* the Bible is disingenuous and dishonest.

Nicely disingenous.

The NT was written in Greek by whom?

If you are a Christian the OT is only useful if it’s read in the “type”(typology) and fulfillment of Christ in the NT-that NT canon was decided by the Catholic Church guided by the Holy Spirit through Saints like Saint Athansisus and Jerome etc...Reading the OT in the eyes of the Jews denies the Divinity of Christ,like at the coucil of Jamnia
