>>If anything Baptists were around the longest....John the Baptist.<<

ROTFLMAO.

And again the Roman Catholic is the first to resort to profanity.

St. Jerome compiled the first Bible.

History says what??

"We are compelled to concede to the Papists
that they have the Word of God,
that we received it from them,
and that without them
we should have no knowledge of it at all."

Nice dodge! I asked a specific question and guess what? No answer! Your response is some foolishness about idol worship. Give me a break.

Now, putting your foolishness aside, answer the question!

[ealgeone]

Is that so? Who had the “true Bible” then? The Gnostics? The Lutherans? Oh wait, Lutherans and other Protestants didn’t show up until the 1500s, 1100 years AFTER the canon of scripture was closed.

The Roman Catholic canon of Scripture was only closed at Trent in the 1500s.

The ekklesia had it long before the RCC did.

[SpirituTuo]

Provide evidence to the contrary.

In the source information below, you will see from 3 different, and non-Catholic sources, when the canon of Scripture was closed. Who made the decision? None other than the Catholic Church.

(https://www.blueletterbible.org/faq/canon.cfm)

The concept we have today of a completed Bible was formulated early in the history of the church. By the end of the second century all but seven books (Hebrews, 2 and 3 John, 2 Peter, Jude, James, and Revelation) were recognized as apostolic, and by the end of the fourth century all twenty-seven books in our present canon were recognized by all the churches of the West. After the Damasine Council of Rome in A.D. 332 and the third Council of Carthage in A.D. 397 the question of the Canon was closed in the West. By the year 500 the whole Greek-speaking church had also accepted all the books in our present New Testament.

Here is from a well-sourced wiki article. I include it, as it is consistent with the first source. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_canon)

The first council that accepted the present Catholic canon (the Canon of Trent) may have been the Synod of Hippo Regius in North Africa (393). A brief summary of the acts was read at and accepted by the Council of Carthage (397) and the Council of Carthage (419).[38] These councils were under the authority of St. Augustine, who regarded the canon as already closed.[39] Pope Damasus I’s Council of Rome in 382, if the Decretum Gelasianum is correctly associated with it, issued a biblical canon identical to that mentioned above,[33] or if not, the list is at least a 6th-century compilation.[40] Likewise, Damasus’ commissioning of the Latin Vulgate edition of the Bible, c. 383, was instrumental in the fixation of the canon in the West.[41]

In a letter (c. 405) to Exsuperius of Toulouse, a Gallic bishop, Pope Innocent I mentioned the sacred books that were already received in the canon.[42] When these bishops and councils spoke on the matter, however, they were not defining something new, but instead “were ratifying what had already become the mind of the Church.”[43] Thus, from the 4th century, there existed unanimity in the West concerning the New Testament canon (as it is today),[44] and by the 5th century the East, with a few exceptions, had come to accept the Book of Revelation and thus had come into harmony on the matter of the New Testament canon.[45]

Here’s one from Grace to You (https://www.gty.org/library/articles/A231/prophecy-and-the-closed-canon-part-1)

By the second century A.D., the complete canon exactly as we have it today was popularly recognized. Church councils in the fourth century verified and made official what the church has universally affirmed, that the sixty-six books in our Bibles are the only true Scripture inspired by God. The canon is complete.

WRONG! See the response to your previous post.

Calumny, for sure. The Vatican web site, designed and updated by American Benedictines, has many helpful documents. The Bible page has a message to use the links on the diocesan web sites. My favorite link on the Vatican site is the virtual visit to St. Peter’s.

Yay! Our beloved FRoman Catholics are off the “Hate Luther” bandwagon and are back onto the “Love Luther” bandwagon once again!

Great news! My head’s spinning though. I guess we should just enjoy it while it lasts.

So much to choose from: USCCB Approved Translations of the Sacred Scriptures for Private Use and Study by Catholics 1983 - Present

The 1983 Code of Canon Law entrusts to the Apostolic See and the episcopal conferences the authority to approve translations of the Sacred Scriptures in the Latin Catholic Church (c. 825, §1). Prior to 1983, Scriptural translations could be approved by the Apostolic See or by a local ordinary within a diocese.

What follows is a complete list of the translations of the Sacred Scriptures that have received the approval of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops since 1983.

In addition to the translations listed below, any translation of the Sacred Scriptures that has received proper ecclesiastical approval ‒ namely, by the Apostolic See or a local ordinary prior to 1983, or by the Apostolic See or an episcopal conference following 1983 ‒ may be used by the Catholic faithful for private prayer and study.

??Who said that??

[BlatherNaut]

There should be a central reference point for Scripture study even if it is not on the Vatican’s website.

Where should we expect the "central reference point" for Sacred Scripture to be accessible, if not the Vatican? Furthermore, why does the Church need the Vatican at all, if not to serve as a "central reference point" for Catholic Truth, for the pillars of the Deposit of Faith -- for both Scripture and Tradition?

Of course, with the scandalous Paul VI Hall (literally a temple designed in the form of a serpent in which Popes hold audiences) along with the depravity of the clergy in Rome now exposed to the world in all their ugliness via the internet, it has become quite obvious that the Vatican is an Evil Place, so it is no big surprise that Sacred Scripture along with Tradition no longer has a home on its website.

"It is a fact that they have the premises -- but you have the apostolic faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the faith? The true faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in this struggle -- the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the faith?" ~~ St. Athanasius, Doctor of the Church

[RegulatorCountry]

You did. You cited him approvingly and good for you! It’s about time, the previous “Hate Luther” cycle had gone on far too long. Thank you!

[Salvation]

The quote I gave is Luther giving credit to the Catholics. Did you misread it?

LOL!

[RegulatorCountry]

The cite I read that you provided indicates that you hold Martin Luther in high esteem, and it’s about time! Thank you!

I do not hold Luther in high esteem. Aren’t you misquoting me?

All I did was post a quote of his.
