I’m well aware of God’s command for the prophets of the OT to write and of the instructions in Revelations. You will NOT find Christ instructing his disciples to ‘write’ his teachings anywhere in the Gospels.

So, what, they just did it cuz it was fun???

You DO get it that holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, right? And that they had the example of the Old Testament scriptures THAT WERE WRITTEN as examples to follow, right? Peter, John, James, Jude and Paul WROTE epistles to the churches and expected them to be read, obeyed, copied and passed around. Did you know that?

You know, if I didn't know better, I'd think some Catholics don't really have much respect for the Bible.

They respect the Bible in the same way that the Pharisees respected the Scriptures.

I certainly did not, when I was a catholic. I looked rather disdainfully at the REAL Christians, carrying their Bibles, and I said, there go those Bible thumpers again. So no, when I was a catholic, I had NO respect for the Bible. Obviously, that is different now. 👍😇
