See here and tell me again how God didn't intend for His word to be written

Cite chapter and verse where Christ told his disciples to write anything down, and where the apostles said their faith would be based on a book.

The same Scripture that says the Roman Catholic church either is or will become the One True Church.

I'll give you two.

Revelation 14:13 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Revelation 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Seriously. You think God changed His mind about things being written down then told John, an apostle to write?

Rom_10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Do you honestly think scripture could have been passed on from generation to generation without writing it down??? How did your religion get any scripture??? Someone wrote it down...And then copied it...And copied it...

The fact that disciples were writing and it became the inspired words of God would seem enough evidence that God wanted his words preserved...

Psa 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Psa 12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

How did God preserve his words in the Old Testament??? He had them written down...So how would God preserve his words in the New Testament??? So that they could be preached from generation to generation???

You really ought to remove that question from your Catholic talking points...It makes you guys look really goofy...

Revelation 1:9-11 I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying,

“Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”

Revelation 1:17-19 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying,

“Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this.

Revelation 2:1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:

Revelation 2:8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write:

Revelation 2:12 “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write:

Revelation 2:18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write:

Revelation 3:1 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write:

Revelation 3:7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:

Revelation 3:14 “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

Where did Jesus tell us that our faith would be based on a committee?
