"THANK the RC Church for giving to the world the Bible."

This is exactly the propaganda to which I refer. The so-called OT was a product of Israel, delivered by God through Moses and another hundred or so writers called prophets. The NT was established centuries before there was even such a thing as the RCC. Rome is as propagandistic as the Democrats and Obama. Read real history.

I have read a great deal of ‘real history”. There simply was no collected, canonized Bible before Pope Demasus. Sure, there was scripture here and there, but there was no collection of the entire Bible before the Council of Nicea. There was just no authority to proclaim which verses of scripture were inspired. Even the bishops who convened (at the bequest of Constantine who was worried about all the schisms present, argued over what was to be included and what not), (Revelations, Hebrews, and some of Peter were disputed). I know it must be hard to acknowledge, but that is the truth. The notion that there were primitive non-universal churches that had complete Bibles before the middle of the 4th century is a fable. If so, where are the records, the writings, of these churches? And by the way, I would never call your church a “cult” if it professed to believe in the Trinity. In this day and age when people around the world want to kill us, persecute us, and corrupt us with homosexual marriage and abortion, I don’t believe it is in the best interests of Christians to be calling each other cults. Peace.
