...took the Bible, the beatitudes, all the little good stuff that is in them, from The Church.

Protestants tend to attribute these things from God, Jesus, and the economic Trinity. Describe for us why we should ascribe these things from "The Church" instead of God himself? Is God the author of the Bible or is the Church the author of the Bible? Is "The Church" somehow part of the Godhead? Is "The Church" somehow a separate being. What exactly is the nature of "The Church"?

The Church is the instrument of God, taught by The Son, protected by The Father and graced by The Holy Spirit. Protestant groupings took all the good stuff that is in them from The Church which is the instrument of God
