The apostles never assumed that the one Church established by Christ would later be replaced by a book. Christ never ordered the Apostles to write anything.

Well why did they write it down then???

So Jesus expected the NT apostles and disciples were to keep all that info in their heads and pass that on from generation to generation...

What in the world did your religion waste its time for inventing the canon of scripture when none of it is legitimate???

Why does your religion have a written catechism when it is not needed???

Why was the OT written down under the authority of God but he would neglect to have the NT written down??? How do you guys come up with these completely ridiculous statements???

Ask them

He left it up the the Church

The Catholic Church gave us the cannon, the Bible.

Why does your religion have a written catechism when it is not needed???

Who said it is not needed? I said Christ never asked his apostles to write anything, and the Apostles never told anyone that their faith would be based on a book. The Church is not based on the Catechism. The Cathecism is based on the Truth Christ entrusted to the Church.

Why was the OT written down under the authority of God but he would neglect to have the NT written down???

You are blind. It was written down. Christ never told anyone to write it down. The early Fathers of the Catholic chose to write things down

How do you guys come up with these completely ridiculous statements???

What is really ridiculous is how you can take the clear words of Scripture - "This is my Body" and change it into "This represents my body"

It appears that God wanted it to be written down, as you say.

Revelation 22:18 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:"

Revelation 22:19 "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
