The Catholic Church protected the Bible

The Catholic Church protected the Bible across the ages until the Gutenberg press was invented. Century after century, Monks in Monasteries faithfully copied Scripture. They were incredibly accurate. We have a modern discovery that is a testimony to how accurate the Monks were when they copied the Bible. The "Dead Sea Scrolls" were discovered in 1947 and they date back to 200 BC. They contain Old Testament books such as Isaiah. They predate some of the Monk's copies by 1500 years. Yet the hand copied Bibles created by monks are almost identical to the Dead Sea Scrolls. This is remarkable given that the Monks were working from copies of copies. It would take each monk a lifetime to copy one Bible and thousands of faithful Catholics dedicated their lives to this work. Catholics protected the Bible over the centuries of wars, famines, plaques, the fall of Rome, fires, and threats from all sides. This was long before any other denomination existed.

consider this warning Paul gave: "See then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off" (Rom. 11:22)

It looks like this on my monitor...

Hi all,

Well, let me see. Since the Roman Catholic church did not exist until in the early 300 AD period -- I wonder who protected the Bible for those first few hundred years?

Do you suppose God had to do this ALL by Himself?

But, then, the Church of Rome came along and told God, "You have been relieved. We no longer need You to protect the Bible. We will take over from now on -- and "we" will tell people what You "really" meant when You wrote the Bible."

Just imagine -- the Roman Catholic church saved all of us! Wow! And, yet, NO ONE, not even the POPE -- KNOWS if he is even saved or not. Go figure!

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

Around or about 45 AD, Peter went to Rome and from there lead the Catholic Church. As of today, there have been 265 Popes in direct succession to Peter. The position of Pope was established by Christ and the office has been maintained in an apostolic manner since the time of Christ. Although the Church has fragmented since the time of Christ with various leadership centers emerging, the apostolic line of succession in the Church is seated in Rome until this very day. Many throughout time have tried to rationalize away and deny the authority and structure of the Church as established by Jesus. In my heart I know that Catholic Church is the Church established by Jesus and has maintained a clear line of apostolic leadership to this very day. The Church has celebrated the sacraments and worshiped the Lord in essentially the same way since the time of Christ.

Hi David,

Where do we find this in the Bible?

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Well, for starters, when Jesus hands the keys to the Kingdom to Peter, calls him the rock on which His Church to be built. The rest can be found in history books. You can't rewrite history, as much as you'd like to...

Hi VP,

My Bible tells me that, in this Scripture passage, Jesus was speaking to all the Apostles -- and my history books tell me that that Roman Catholic church, i.e., Constantine's church -- did not exist until about 320 AD.

Does this sound about right to you?

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

bg...........When you make a statement you know is a lie, then you're a lier.

The Catholic church started with Jesus while he was on earth.

Constantine joined the church about 320 AD. You may try to change history,and you have tried, but
history doesn't for you or anyone because it's not what you want to hear.

You can deny what happen 2000 years ago or what happens today. Doesn't change anything.

Tell the truth, reading and research is not your thing, is it?

I guess you won't stop lying until somebody agrees with you.

Does this sound right to you?

Constantine



Strange Bill, I see no mention of Constantine declaring Catholicism as the main religion, just Christian. So if he joined an already existing religion, the religion that followed Jesus Christ that began when Jesus told Peter, (who became the first leader of the Christian Catholic Church in Rome, the first "pope") to build MY Church, then any logical person would assume that the first church started was the Catholic Church. Around 33AD. But that would only be logical to some one who read the Bible.

VP, have you interpreted that correctly?

Was it the 'right' Peter?
nope.. it was the one on the left. the right peter was the one who went back to jeruselem and founded a religion based on his wife - Judyism
Were the keys literal or figurative?
literal. however the key chain was naught but a dream within a dream.
What color was the rock?
kind of a greenish gray, form the algee and the water.
Which way was Jesus facing?
down. the left peter was a bit short.
Was He kidding?
only somewhat. the truth is the key only opened one of the 12 gates of heaven, and he didn't tell peter which one. that passed for a pretty good joke back then.
