Protestants should stick to the very real fact that the Catholic Church DID make some mistakes through out history.

Name another 2,000 year old institution that hasn’t?

Oh, yeah, the Catholic Church is the ONLY institution that has been around for 2000 years!

The Bible was created by the Roman Catholic Church while the Eastern Orthodox were still in full union with Rome.

There is really no significant difference between the Orthodox translation of the Bible and the Roman Catholic translation of the Bible.

The Protestants went to the Orthodox, for their original texts for several reasons:

1.) Political difficulty obtaining original manuscripts in the possession of Rome.
2.) Pride and hostility towards Rome, to the point that Protestants did not want any shred of “help” from Rome.
3.) The fact that the Orthodox had the Greek translations, never really seeing the need for the Greeks to translate their manuscripts into Latin.

“Where we got the Bible” is an old book written by a Presbyterian Bishop who converted to the Catholic Church:

Stand up on that thar pedestal, sonny.

Oh my!

Moses was Roman Catholic! (Sneaky ol' boy!)

And this Evangelical goes to the original texts because, well, I like to know what the authors actually wrote.
