The Bible is a Catholic Book…
Therefore, everything in the Bible, in one way or another supports Catholicism. Ignorance of Catholicism is ignorance of the Bible.

Your thoughts?
 
Hey Jimmy, long time no see. I hope all is well

I think that there is a valuable truth in this post.
 
Well, there’s my big brother, Jimmy B! How great that you’re back. 😉

I voted yes.
 
The one theme throughout the entire Scriptures is obedience to the Will of God which, for us, comes in the form of rightful authority. Much like our parents, that authority is the Church He founded.

So, I would have to agree with this statement.
 
I voted no, the bible is God’s Word - not a catholic nor protestant book.

How are you Jimmy B??

I voted no simply because the Bible as a whole is not Catholic. Catholic meaning universal. The New Testament is Christian and speaks of the new covenant. The Old Testament is Jewish and speaks of the old covenant. No Christian church father had anything to do with assembling or writing the OT so to imply the entire Bible is even Christian is false. The OT does foretell of Christianity but had nothing to do with Christianity’s Fathers.

PEACE and Happy Thanksgiving 🙂

I also disagree here, because Catholicism, known also as Christianity, is an extension of the covenant with God’s people.

There are many who are not Catholic that are under the New Covenant. It is a Jewish book.
 
Yes, but are you following God’s Will, which is His desire? Participation in the Covenant requires this very necessary component.

👍 I think the Bible is far too important to be appropriated by any one Church. That would ensure that it became a means of our sinfulness, rather than a remedy for it. It’s too important to be made into a sectarian propaganda tool.​

 
Since all the authors of the NT were Catholic I would say you are correct.
 
G of G you make my point.

It is the Will of God that we all be united. This is indicated in Scripture when Jesus prayed for unity. This indicates that it is His Will.

The fact that you consider it propaganda to mention that the Church is responsible for Scripture indicates a complacency with this division. It takes a lot of humility to suppress our wills and unite it to what we abhor. For some, it is the Church.

Yet, to go to heaven, we must unite our wills with His.

It seems so clear and simple, how is it people just don’t get it. :confused:
 
Since Christ is supposed to be for everyone (universal…catholic) I agree that it is a catholic book (lower case.)

It is also agree definitely that it is a Catholic book. (upper case)

The Bible did not appear out of thin air. Now, this does not mean that the Catholic Church should hold to the Bible with strict copyrights (though that would be interesting…) because the book belongs to everyone.

To deny that the Catholic Church gave us the final compilation of the Bible is a flimsy argument at best and can never be supported.

The Bible is a catholic book because it is a Catholic book, a Protestant book and it is a Hindu book, a Muslim book, a Jewish book, etc (it is also my book because I have many on my shelf) . . . because . . . it belongs to every man and woman.

The Bible is a Catholic book because it was compiled by those who adhered to Sacred Tradition before the book was compiled and it was used simply to verify what they had believed before its final compilation.

The Bible is not the end-all-be-all of Christianity. It is part of the faith…it is not ALL of our faith. Faith is more dynamic than just a book. I guarantee we all learned about our faith through people teaching it and not by someone simply reading us Scripture.

OK…sorry I got off on a tangent…

The Bible most assuredly had its final compilation by the followers of the Catholic Church. Sure the Holy Spirit guided the men who compiled it, but no one can deny that it was men who compiled it.

Now I’m turning into a talking head…I’m done…

Peace be with us all and may we give thanks to God for everything to do and especially for the Bible!

Was the intention of the founder of the faith to have one Church or more than one?

Was the intention of the writters to be writing to one Church or more than one?

It was never intended by Jesus that His followers would be abusive to His sheep nor fall into apastacy.
The Holy Spirit who breathed the bible into existance was intended for all.

Didn’t you or someone already say this in a prior thread?
  1. Do you have an actual argument or point to make that involves facts or logic?
  2. If the Bible were a Catholic book, how come none of the authors were Catholic?

And was God powerless to prevent either action?

Again, are you Mormon? Saying that the Church fell into apostacy is a Mormon claim.

And you did not answer the questions.

How many Churches did Jesus intend to found? How many did they write for?
