>>without the work of God THROUGH the Catholic church, you wouldn't even know what a bible was.....they wrote it, they copied it and they saved it for posterity, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.<<

And without Judas betraying Jesus we wouldn’t have salvation through His shed blood. That’s the logic of the Catholic statement about how they gave us scripture. God uses many evil people to fulfill His purposes. Catholics would do well to remember that. Just because God used them doesn’t get them saved.

Jesus read from the Bible in synagogues on the Sabbath many many times.

Thanks goodness the Catholics supplied it for Him!

How foolish that with out the Catholics we “wouldn’t even know what a (B)ible was”

How’s that for squishing God into a tiny little box, the Holy Spirit gave us the Bible, and there were no Catholics for several hundred years.

God used His followers (known as Christians, not Catholics) to bring us the Bible.

Maybe the Catholics c/p’ed the Bible, big deal.

That’s like me writing out one of Mark Twain’s books and saying I brought it to you.

of course being used by God to accomplish a goal does not save anyone....but it certainly points to a head start!!! without the early Christians, becoming known as Catholoics, you would have no idea whatsoever, of who Jesus was.....yes, it was God who used the Catholics to preserve His message...nevertheless they did it and you should be thankful
