lovelylilRe: Facts about the NT Bible
Jim,

I don't even know where to begin. You seem to be an expert on the Roman Catholic faith and sure copied lots of information right from thier books. However, I must strongly disagree with you that the Bible is inspired because the RC church first declared it was. The Bible is inspired becasue God's word first declared it as such. He does not need any man-made organization to declare what he already declared in his word. The RC assertion that the world owes it to them for giving us the Bible is utter rubbish and it is the way the Church continues to try to assert its authority over all Christians.

The term Catholic back in the Apostles day meant "universal" only, but now it is used by the RC as a denominational distinction. The RC of today is not anything like the universal church of the Apostles day which included all those who had faith in Christ and was loosely organized, mostly in private homes. The RC's assertion that they are the only true Church and the setting up of their hierarchy began several hundreds of years after the death of the Apostles. And the catholic council that put together the Book we today know as our bible, caused more problems than it reconciled.

While I do agree with you that Christ has Always been with his church through the power of the Holy Spirit, that Church is NOT the RC of today. It is NOT any church organization, it is the individuals with faith in him alone.  The Bible is NOT a Catholic book and is for all believers in Christ no matter what denomination they are in, or even if they choose not to belong to any denomination. The RC is just another man made denomination that divides the body of Christ instead of uniting it. And the Bible is only one way for believers to get to know God. Even if we never had an "official" book called the Bible, we had plenty of writings to read from fellow believers in God, if we chose to. God primarily works with believers through his spirit and not through the words in the Bible anyway.

A great article on the RC's claims about its authority and giving the world the Bible can be found here;

While I have come to the same conclusion years ago that the author of the above article does, he puts it in words in a better way then I can. Peace, Lilly
