malachi_a_serva;2472557 I myself get confussed to see the huge impact this would make against The Bible. I look at it as Jesus established a church…
Jesus also determined we needed a Bible…
Jesus says:
Matthew 26:13
I tell you the truth, wherever **this gospel is preached **throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her."
Mark 3:14
He appointed twelve—designating them apostles —that they might be with him and that
he might send them out to preach
Mark 13:10
And the gospel** must first be preached **to all nations.
Mark 16:15
He said to them, "Go into all the world and **preach the good news **to all creation.
Luke 9:2
and he sent them out to **preach the kingdom of God **and to heal the sick.
**Not go and write a bible.
The apostles wrote “Letters”. That is what an “Epistle” is. A formal letter.
It was only natural that the apostle by whom the greater number of these communities had been founded should seek to communicate with them by letter.
They were letters that were gathered together and placed into a book.
That is what “biblia” means it is Latin for book.
The Old Testament is the Jewish Torah.
The New Testament is the “letters” of the apostles and disciples who wrote to communicate with the church they each were instructing.
Testament is another word for Covenant, Covenant is another word for Oath.
We have the Old Covenant from God and the New Covenant from God.
These “letters” were chosen and placed into a book by Pope Damasus and a council of bishops called The Council of Rome. St Jerome was commisioned by the pope to to translate the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin in 382ad 1,135 years before Martin Luther begins the Protestant Movement.
It is called the La Biblia Sacra Vulgata. Which is Latin and means " The Sacred Book in the Vernacular" In the common language.

Jesus founded a church
Matthew 16:18:
18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Code:
Jesus promises the gates of Hades would never prevail against the Church. This requires that the Church teach infallibly. If the Church did not have the gift of infallibility, the gates of Hades and error would prevail. Also, since the Catholic Church was the only Church that existed up until the Reformation, those who follow the Protestant reformers call Christ a liar by saying that Hades did prevail.
Matthew 16:19:
19And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
for Jesus to give Peter and the apostles, mere human beings, the authority to bind in heaven what they bound on earth requires infallibility. This is a gift of the Holy Spirit and has nothing to do with the holiness of the person receiving the gift.
Matthew 18:17-18:
17And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.
18Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven.
the Church (not Scripture) is the final authority on questions of the faith. This demands infallibility when teaching the faith. She must be prevented from teaching error in order to lead her members to the fullness of salvation.
Matthew 28:20:
20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world
Jesus promises that He will be with the Church always. Jesus’ presence in the Church assures infallible teaching on faith and morals. With Jesus present, we can never be deceived.
Luke 10:16:
16He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.
whoever hears you, hears me. Whoever rejects you, rejects me. Jesus is very clear that the bishops of the Church speak with Christ’s infallible authority.
Luke 22:32:
32 but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers."
Jesus prays for Peter, that his faith may not fail. Jesus’ prayer for Peter’s faith is perfectly efficacious, and this allows Peter to teach the faith without error (which means infallibly).
