Did the Catholic Church Give Us the Bible?
Creation Science Evangelism ^ | 2010 | Joshua Joscelyn

Posted on 02/22/2010 6:48:33 AM PST by bogusname

The argument is often made that the Catholic Church gave us the Bible, but this could not be further from the truth. Only God could give us the Bible. It was originally authored by Him (II Tim. 3:16) and then preserved by Him (Psalm 12:6-7). The confusion, however, comes from the two streams of Scripture that came out of the Middle East after the time of Christ. The Christians were first called Christians at Antioch, where they diligently copied the Scriptures, and spread them throughout the world. However, Alexandria was the home of “scholars” who gloried in their knowledge (Jer. 9:24) rather than in Christ, and took copies of the perfect, preserved Word of God and changed them. One in particular, Origen, was extremely proactive in his aggressive revision of God’s Holy Words. His version combined his own works known as the Apocrypha with the Hebrew New Testament in a Greek version (the language of the proud intellectuals of Alexandria). But the Baptist sect known as the Vaudois, were speaking a new language – Latin. They translated the pure Hebrew Scriptures into Latin, which became the world language, and carried them across the world. Rome, however, slaughtered the Christians in blatant persecution of these diligent carriers of God’s Holy Word.

No, I did not call anyone who does not follow the Catholic religion a nutcase. I am simply offended by posts and statements like this, in which people go out of their way to insult and denigrate Catholics, who are their fellow Christians. And by people arrogant enough to think everyone should buy into the idea that their judgment is superior to, say, St. Jerome or St. Augustine, without offering any proof. In my opinion, people who behave in this insulting, overbearing manner are nutcases.

**serve Christ only.**

Good grief, man, what do you think Catholics do?

Christ IS the center of the Catholic Liturgy of the Word and the Catholic Liturgy of the Eucharist.

Please educate yourself — or re-educate yourself in the truth and stop believing the propaganda that you seem to dig up!

No magisterium, check. Iconoclasm, check. Scripture given supernaturally, check.

Must you always talk of cannibalism?!

It's the quickest way to see who functionally walks away from him, and who doesn't.

Hello bogusname (and I’ve got to admit that your name fits perfectly with your bogus theology), I got to looking at some old threads and I couldn’t help but notice that there was an anti-Catholic bigot who used to post anti-Catholic threads a lot like yours and he/she would usually post a bunch of them in a short period of time.

Now the funny thing is that this bigot was banned not long long before you joined. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s you, I’m just curious. Have you ever used another name on FR?

That is seriously one of the (unintentionally) funniest things I have ever read. Thanks for posting this.

I wonder if he wrote the article in at the top of this thread from prison?
Since November 2006 Hovind has been serving a ten-year prison sentence in the Federal Correctional Institution, Edgefield in Edgefield, South Carolina, after being convicted of 58 federal counts, including twelve tax offenses, one count of obstructing federal agents and forty-five counts of structuring cash transactions.

I was sort of being sarcastic, I wasn’t the least bit surprised.

From what I can tell it looks like his son is running things while he’s locked up with Bubba.

That's a really strange comment. Would you please explain it?
