the Catholic Church wrote and organized the bible. There were no born agains or Protestants back then. So, the one and true church of Jesus, you know, the church one joins and born into when they are baptized, wrote the bible.

Big deal.

It would have been done at some point in time or another anyway.

It’s nothing to brag on nor does it confer ownership, rights, ability to *correctly* interpret it, or any other special privileges someone may think they deserve for doing so.

Dude, there were no born agains back then???? Jesus would disagree with you.

Catholics sure don't know the very book they claimed to have "given" us.

Recommend you read John 3 for context.

That is a most amazing statement! When I read the Bible I see that the church began upon Scriptural substantiation in word and in power, and a the preponderance of Scripture was already written, then most was so commonly held that there was not vdispute over whether the clear references used were Scripture or not.

And that the NT church which God used to write the rest was radically different than that of Rome, and it was not a project of the magisterium, which only provided an indisputable canon after the death of Luther.

There were no born agains or protestants back then

Again, really? In reality the body of Christ was only made up of "born again (from above) believers, and as the church actually began in dissent from those who sat in the seat of Moses over Israel, (Mt. 23:2) whom they reproved, then they were true Protest-ants.

But as I have never seen you post here than your ignorance may be forgiven.
