“The NT wasn’t put together for 300 years after Jesus was taken up to Heaven.”

Ah, another man made fallacy. The letters of the Apostles were circulating the churches as soon as they were written. They had the “Old Testament” scriptures already.

I’m not interested in the “teachings of the Church”, I’m interested in the teachings of Christ, in His words and the explanations of Peter, John, Paul, Luke etc.

If you’ve got a “manual”, then I suggest you get a Bible and start reading.

Good Catholics, all.

Dude; there weren’t any Xerox machines. There weren’t electronic copies emailed out en masse.

There were also hundreds of various writings out there including the Gospel of Judas. The Church was the entity that determined what the Bible was.

The Bible is our gift to you. I’m a little disappointed in the level of your gratitude, though.
