“Meanwhile, the 27 books exist because God inspired them”

But it was the CATHOLIC CHURCH that God used to develop the Bible. Protestants can’t change history. Why so much hatred for the Church. Who safeguarded the scriptures so they wouldn’t disappear from the earth? It’s absolutely mindboggling that the majority of protestants on FR will not give the Catholic Church credit for anything. They just ignore irrefutable facts. Ignore the history of Christianity and want to constantly rant and rave about the Catholic Church’s non-role in anything. It’s really sad.

The early ekklesia, after much trial, prayer and consideration agreed on the NT by roughly 200 AD.

Part of the reason the roman catholic cult doesn't get credit for this that they so desperately want is that the early church was not the rcc we know today.

The irony of the rcc wanting so badly to be recognized as the ones who provided the bible are usually the first ones to slam non catholics for solely using said bible.

Protestants can’t change history.

But they are sure giving it a good effort.

Protestants can’t change history.

But the Marxist revisionists among us have and do change even daily history on the fly.

I enjoy learning of new discoveries that validate the Old Testament. From reading this thread, I don't get the confirmation that many RCs are very interested in research and learning the real roots of their worship practices, way before Jesus was born.

You are missing the elephant issue that is behind the "Catholic church gave you the Bible" assertion, as this assertion is hardly meaningful unless it means that the discerners and stewards of Divine revelation are the supreme infallible authority and interpreters of it.

But which is a manifest fallacious premise.

Protestants can’t change history.. It’s absolutely mindboggling that the majority of protestants on FR will not give the Catholic Church credit for anything. They just ignore irrefutable facts. Ignore the history of Christianity and want to constantly rant and rave about the Catholic Church’s non-role in anything. It’s really sad.

Which brings us to fallacious premise #2, that that Rome today is the NT church based historical descent. It simply is not, but they just ignore irrefutable facts, as history is only what Rome says it is and means for a faithful RC. As in a cult.

And they liked it SO much; they kept right on developin' stuff!

What a blind whiner you appear to be!
