I guess you think all the historians, scholars, theologians, saints, martyrs, and thousands of converts many of whom are leading Protestant scholars and historians, and teachers did not read the Bible. The Bible did not drop from the skies and self-arrange itself. They were the product of nearly 300 years of sustained study and discernment of thousands of scripts and fragments checked and cross-checked against the received traditions of the Church. In short, the Church existed before the Bible. The Holy Spirit that guided the Church in assembling the Bible dd not suddenly take off 1100 years later with the curse of Luther’s reformation. End this sophomoric kind of replies you make and stop embarrassing yourself by trying to play the role of a “cut and paste” selective internet theologian taken from anti-Catholic websites.
Before the ‘300’ gathered there was/ is the ignored ‘OLD’ Testament... wherein Christ Himself declared Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
Christ declared this ‘warning’ before the ‘300’ placed their marks of approval... The Old Testament is the bedrock of the New... And my how the wordsmiths added their own two cents down through the ages.
If the ‘new’ kids ignored the WORD already recorded, from which Christ Himself quoted constantly ... then they too are off the map. You are aware that Christ said all but the ‘elect’ would be deceived? Might need to figure out who the already ‘chosen’ set aside ‘elect’ are before you start making claims you have no ability to bring forth... God is in control and things are happening just as HE had his holy prophets pen... Peter called those of the ‘old’ Testament ‘holy prophets’...
