The Catholic Church gave you the New Testament. Perhaps you need to give credit where credit is due instead of posting stuff that is not true.

Where do you get these falsehoods, anyway? A pamphlet? A preacher who hates Catholics? Please educate yourself.

The Catholic church inspired the NT? Taking credit for what God wrought. Cue the Martin Luther quote. Even though he made that statement it wasn't in reference to the inspired authorship. Despite the honor conveyed to the early church in preserving the NT, some Catholics pretend it is 'their' book, not Gods. Frankly, if Catholics authored it, you'd think they would have included the all important Tradition piece. As well as accepting 'stories' referenced by Christ instead of ignoring them.

God through the Holy Spirit and the apostles gave us all of scripture. The writers of the New Testament were Jews not Catholics.

About giving credit where credit is due : The Jews gave you the New Testament, it was preserved by the Catholic (Eastern and Western) churches, and it was restored to the common man by the Protestants. There were centuries with lots of ugliness all around. It is a great mystery why God allowed people to make such a mess of his church and put us all in this situation today.

I keep seeing this "we gave you the Bible" polemical statement (one today even said there were no Scriptures until Rome provided them), but never get a clear answer to the question i keep asking regarding the reason/argument behind it:

Are you saying that being the instruments and stewards of Scripture requires or renders them the infallible authority on it, so they that which they reject must be rejected?

You or any RC here can be the first out of many to answer this clearly.
