the Holy Spirit certainly did not need a tape recorder, but the apostles were not the Holy Spirit...bring thier remembrance...that's what I said, they did not transcribe, at the time, each sermon they preached nor reaction to them. They remembered what happened and recorded it later. You said that I should stop useing the RCC as my source and actually study what Jesus said.....where else, but in the RCC sources, could anyone ever study what Jesus said and taught. Without the RCC you wouldn't even know who Jesus was. The bible is a book...it takes people to edit it, transcribe it, copy it, print it, bring it to your local book store.....and other than delivering it to your local store, you can thank Catholics for every other step, and maybe even the UPS guy was Catholic!
Acts 12:21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
