God preserved it. He could have used rocks if needed. No credit would go to the rocks either.

God preserved it through the efforts of the Catholic Church...granted that it was His will, but also His way...if He had decided to use rocks, the rocks would recieve no credit, but the sculptors would....bare rocks tell nothing, bare papyrus tells nothing. It takes a person, writing on them, to bring out the message......other that the ten commandments of course.

>> but the sculptors would....bare rocks tell nothing<<

Wow! So God used a sculptor to write the ten commandments on those tablets of stone? Who knew? That must be in the “tradition information” that the Catholic Church hasn’t put in writing to this point still?

Now about that “bare rocks tell nothing comment just look at this.

Luke 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

So God says the stones would cry out but you say “bare stones tell nothing”? Wow, just Wow!

Why do catholics think of God so lowly? Because they don't know HIM so they don't honor HIS Word but bow to man and their teachings. No one can serve two masters.

if He had decided to use rocks, the rocks would recieve no credit, but the sculptors would.

Now that's a catholic comment - credit always goes to 'man' Even rocks could praise God but not catholics. Talk about stiff neck and hardheartedness!
