Ah but we mess everything up to be honest. God tried giving us the commandments verbally as we see from the very beginning of time, but that didn't work either; there's a reason Jesus quoted from the Old Testament; in fact, there's reasons. Scholars will have you believe that the writings were edited here and there and this and that was inserted. Again, if you want to believe them, then do so, but I'll stick with the all-knowing guy myself. What the Catholics do and what they believe is a result of all sorts of conferences and writings of man. Again, it all pretty much goes back to my initial statement. Either you believe God loves us enough (afterall, he did give us his Son to die for us) to make sure that what gets passed down does, or he doesn't. That's a personal matter that no amount of study in done by this world can ever prove or disprove. I Corinthians 1:27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; The so called "higher critics" have been at it for hundreds of years now and they still cannot find consensus. With all my faults - I've been on this Earth barely a 5th of a decade now - I know what I need to know and what was ordained by God rests in this letter to you, myself, and everyone else that lays right besides me as I type this.
I absolutely agree. Either you believe or you don't. The Bible was inspired by God. He meant for His Word to be preserved in the Bible and it has been. A lot of people have slaughtered the true Word of God with their many translations. The KJV is the only reliable Bible. I also grew up in a catholic home but have since escaped that horrible institution. The catholic Bible is way different from the christian Bible, as are the catholic beliefs. I have posted my views on this in other forums here and do not choose to repeat myself so I'm not saying anything more unless asked to.
