“The first thing to understand, and a fact that can hardly be denied, is that the creation of the Catholic Church preceded the creation of the New Testament.”
It’s crazy statements like this, in part, that made me turn my back on the Catholic Church and why some people think the Catholic Church is a CULT.
Go ahead and flame but maybe my comment will get some people to take a step back and think.
Why is that a crazy statement? The Catholic Church was founded on Pentacost following the Ascention. The books that comprise the Bible were, literally, all written after that point. The canon of the NT was not set until 300 years after that point (regional council of Carthage). Although you may be uncomfortable with it, the statement is not crazy...it is accurate.

Why would I flame you?
And I certainly hope some people will step back and think. Because if they actually do, rather than believe the honey-toned lies they've been told, they might recognize the truth of the statement that you attempted to rebut (unsuccessfully, I might add).
But have a great day and God's richest blessings to you. I hope you're happy where you currently worship!

Perhaps you need to think too.
