The Roman Catholic Church of today claims ownership of those men
Therefore, the Roman Catholic Church owns/invented Jesus Christ
To refute: I admit that my desk is grey, that does not mean that I own it. My husband claims me on his tax return, he doesn't own my desk either.
If your logic is correct, then I freely admit that a million dollars exists on paper somewhere in Ft. Knox. Do I own it yet? Did I invent it?
Hence admission of a truth does not equate to ownership of the fact or the object to which it is applied. Pax Vobiscum.
Oh yeah, those Scriptures...where did he get those again? Oh! Now I know. The One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Doh!
— was irrelevant. The Roman Catholic Church no more owns, created, nor invented Scripture than it owns, created, nor invented Jesus Christ.
