It’s interesting to watch the trend of Catholics constantly giving the credit for scripture to the RCC and non Catholics giving credit to God for inspiring and preserving the scriptures. Rather telling if you ask me.

It's telling me that if they can get people to believe it all came from them, then they have all the authority in the world to "edit" it, in addition to making it say whatever they want it to say. Whereas, if God is really who gave it to us, then he is who has the authority, not them, and his Holy Spirit does his job to illuminate God's truth from those Scriptures to all those who have surrendered themselves to his perfect will. I found this great article that addresses this point. It's called "Just Trust us on this one...wink, wink".

Or even more importantly, not just editing it and claiming the sole right to interpret it, but ADDING to it. If they claim authorship, then they can claim the authority to add to it any extra-Biblical teachings and declare it of equal authority and inspiration as Scripture.

That's what is so insidious about their claim of authorship of Scripture and claims of being responsible for its existence.

It reeks of prIde .Remind you of someone who said ?
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
