It is deeply disturbing to me whenever a Catholic around here claims that the Catholic Church wrote the Scriptures and so forth - because such a boast appropriates glory which belongs to God. Moreover, the boast subordinates the Scriptures to the Catholic Church as the author/creator of them.
The oracles are God's and it is He who commits those oracles to safekeeping by His own chosen people.
As every man hath received the gift, [even so] minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, [let him speak] as the oracles of God; if any man minister, [let him do it] as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. - I Peter 4:10-11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it. - Isaiah 55:11
Perhaps the Catholics so boasting believe they are justified on belief that members of the Catholic Church alone comprise the body of Christ. But even if they were right (and they are not) Christ Himself is the head of His body, the church, and surely all glory for a manuscript goes to its author, his mind, not his fingers, elbows and toes.
And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. - Ephesians 1:22-23
Are there a handful of html codes I could learn to create a table of contents and pages to click to for my FR home page?
