" Shows how the Catholic Church has determined and proclaimed through her infallible rulings just which books are actually part of Sacred Scripture, and how she has preserved and maintained the Bible throughout the centuries. A real eye-opener, especially for anyone who thinks the Bible is a Protestant book."

"The arrogant rooster brags that he makes the sun rise when he crows."

This has come to pass on FreeRepublic today.

Here's an "eye opener" for you:

GOD inspired HIS Word.
GOD moved men to record HIS Word.
GOD acted to preserve HIS Word throughout history.
GOD worked through humans to assemble HIS Word.
GOD began this process THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE any Christian Church came onto the scene.

Yet there is one group that brags just like the arrogant rooster, thinking it wasn't God at all...

1. God is eternal, i.e., always was, is, and ever will be.

2. God is omnipresent, i.e., He is in every place.

3. God is immutable, i.e., He ever remains the same.

4. God is omniscient, i.e., He knows all things, the past, the present, and the future, and also our inmost thoughts (Jer. xvii. 10).

5. God is supremely wise, i.e., He knows how to direct every thing for the best in order to carry out His designs.

6. God is almighty, i.e., God can do all that He wills, and that by a mere act of His will.

7. God is supremely good, i.e., He loves His creatures far more than a father loves his children.

9. God is full of mercy and compassion, i.e., He very readily forgives our sins when we are sincerely sorry for them.

10. God is infinitely holy, i.e., He loves good and hates all evil.

11. God is infinitely just, i.e., He rewards all good and punishes all evil deeds.

12. God is a God of perfect truth, i.e., all that He reveals to man is true.

Protestantism is a heresy. There, I said it, and anyone who believes otherwise is deceiving himself.

I’m stealing that, around here it will get a lot of use.

Roosters sure are cocky, aren’t they? ;o)

.
For a truth, if THAT particular group had anything to do with it, then it certainly couldn’t have been God.

Fortunately they had no part in it, but to gather and hide the writings that they hated.
