I see you still use scripture from the Catholic Church established by Christ to try to support your case. You are very devoted to your cause...very admirable. God bless...
.....”scripture from the Catholic Church”....
The unfortunate psychological effect of saying that Roman Catholic ‘tradition’ is what gave us the Bible is that it elevates their tradition to a level far greater than what is permitted in Scripture. In fact, it is contradicted by scripture:
“Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to exceed what is written, in order that no one of you might become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.” (1 Cor. 4:6).
As a result of the catholic churches claim ....it results in various justifications of its non-biblical teachings such as prayer to Mary, purgatory, indulgences, penance, works of righteousness, etc. Because it has deviated from trusting God’s Word alone, it has ventured into unscriptural areas. Nevertheless, did the Roman Catholic Church give us the Bible? No, it did not.
The Christian church, as an earthly organization, recognized the Word of God (John 10:27). It didn’t give us the Word of God. Also, it was the Jews who gave us the Old Testament. The authenticity of the New Testament documents rests in the inspiration of God through the apostles—not the Catholic Church. Furthermore, the Roman Catholic Church did not give us the Old Testament. The Jews did. How can the RCC claim it gave us the Bible when it did not give us the Old Testament? Finally, when the Catholic Church claims that it is the source of the sacred Scriptures, it is, in effect, placing itself above the word of God by claiming that through its authority we received the word of God.

Yes. You guys say it is VERY important!
I see you still use NON-scripture from the Catholic Church to try to support your teachings. You are very devoted to your cause...very dogmatic. God will have the last word...
Scripture comes from God not the Catholic Church. It was Jews who God used to write it. Peter acknowledged Paul's writings to be scripture and the letters were copied and shared with all the churches. If you want to credit the Catholic Church you may want to keep in mind that God used Judas in His plans as well.
