“referencing the Bible as a Catholic document”
Historian J. A. Wylie said this
It is idle in Rome to say, “I gave you the Bible, and therefore you must believe in me before you can believe in it.” The facts...conclusively dispose of this claim. Rome did not give us the Bible—she did all in her power to keep it from us; she retained it under the seal of a dead language; and when others broke that seal, and threw open its pages to all, she stood over the book, and unsheathing her fiery sword, would permit none to read the message of life, save at the peril of eternal anathema” (emphasis in original).
For you to even make a silly statement like that tells me that what I’m about to say is going to be way above your head. You have spoken nothing but rcc talking points noting more nothing less. It’s apparent that you haven’t even did the basic research about the Bible.
The Holy Bible was written by Messianic Jews not pagan Romans. The one Gentile Dr. Luke transcribed the record from those Jewish eye witnesses.
If it was collected by the rcc then why don’t you have the original autographs? You have copies just like everyone else does because the originals were collected and destroyed in persecution of the real Church and by the grace of the Lord Jesus copies survived.
As far as canonized all you have to do is read the 1st century and early 2nd century writings and you can see that a protestant Bible was already accepted long before there was a pagan rcc. Yes you rcc’s have a canonized bible, but it has books that have errors that even Mr. Magoo could see with a little bit of research. With that being said the seven you mention wasn’t removed, but your roman church added books way later.
I’ll ask you the same question that I keep asking and NEVER get a reply...
Do those 7 books belong in the Old or New Covenant?
If they are Old Covenant theology how exactly does that pertain to a New Covenant Christian?
If they are New Covenant books please explain this...
How are they New Covenant when they are clearly before Jesus Christ was manifested in the flesh at Bethlehem?
What theological significance such as salvation, heaven, or hell do they bring to the New Covenant that wasn’t clearly explained in our current New Testament?
Please help me to understand why you rcc’s hang on to those 7 books like they contain the ultimate secrets to eternal life or eternal hell.
If our Bibles contained those seven books, the Catholics would have removed them at Trent and started screaming that Luther was adding to the Bible.
Just like Democrats and how they pretend to care about truth and justice. It’s all about power in the end.
