were the Scriptures created by man? are they perfect?

This particular line of reasoning and interrogative represents the craftiness and unholiness represented by many RCC advocates. It is a line of reasoning which strikes a sour note in the heart of every believer in fellowship with God.

The same line of reasoning was used in the garden with Eve, tempting her to question the Word of God.

Attempting to cast aspersions on Scripture and the Word of God does nothing to edify the believer nor promote evangelism of the non-believer.

It attempts to substitute an alternate line of reasoning for the Word of God in some cases by adding something or somebody to what God provides for the believer.

All of us are corrupt from original sin and don't initially have the truth in us, but do have it provided for us by Him. He communicates that to believers by God the Holy Spirit. The written Word is also available today, which makes us much more equipped than any other time in human history with something veritable, by which He may use our thinking of His Word in His processes to further sanctify us.

Our biggest weakness is not knowing how to think, in a process only He can correct in us when we remain humble to Him so He can perform His work in us.

So His Word is the one thing that is veritable, true, immutable, that in which we can and shall place our trust within. It is by His Word that all things consist and are held together.

Any doubt cast upon His Word is not from the Father, nor the Spirit, nor from Him.

When a group claims to represent God, but casts doubt upon His Word, they simply manifest they neither represent God, nor are in fellowship with Him.

There have been many outstanding doctrines expressed by the past members associated with the Catholic Church, but also many birds have infiltrated that denomination attempting to hinder other believers and non-believers alike.

Any doctrine attempting to cast dispersions on the Apostles and the Bible, and the Word of God, simply becomes a doctrine of demons. It also is why so many believers lose acceptance of those supporting RCC doctrines who fail to glorify the Word of God, in an attempt to redirect worship towards themselves or anything but the Word.

Yes it does.It pricks up my ears everytime I hear it.The conversation is over before it begins.The flesh can be subtle to the point of boggling the mind.So many wonderous theological arguments as to why we can't rely on that "which is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart"....a heart,incidently,that we do not fully know and which is desperately wicked.

Thankyou for your post.

Grace and peace to you.

i really have to laugh sometimes. the questions were meant to be answered with a “yes” and “yes”.

my dear friend, without the Catholic Church copiously copying and protecting the Scriptures for 2,000 years, you would have no Scripture to sit there and attack the Church with.

the Church has always taught the Scriptures are the Word of God. the Church has also always taught that the oral teaching received from the Apostles is also the Word of God.

the devil spends more time attacking the Church, than he does the Scriptures. in fact, the cults all love the Scriptures and interpret them as they see fit. ever talk to a Jehovah Witness?
the devil wants people to believe the Church Jesus established has not been here for 2,000 years and there is not a visible Church. this is the big lie the devil has put forth. so if we can’t know the true Church, anybody can be the “church” Joseph Smith, Mary Baker Eddy, Ellen White, Rutherford, etc etc.

do you believe the Church has been here for 2,000 years or do you believe it went apostate and had to be “restored”?
