There was only one Church founded by Jesus Christ and it was called the Catholic Church. The word "Catholic" means universal.Sounds like Catholics haven't learned to revise their own debates...
Correction- The catholic church curated the Latin collection of Holy books. The Catholic church did not "give us" the bible. With that logic basically the Ethiopian Church created the bible first, not Rome.
The Old testament is the Jewish Torah, and the New Testament is a collection of books from the apostles. It has nothing to do with White European Catholicism.
The Church established the Old and New Testament canons of the Bible. The Old Testament which was used by the early
Christian Church was the Septuagint version which was for Greek speaking Jews. The Jewish Rabbinical School after the 70AD
dysphoria kept only the Hebrew translation as it had less connection to the Christians. 80% of the quotes in the NT
referencing the Old Testament are found in the Septuagint. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls found both the Hebrew
translation and the Septuagint Translation of the Old Testament. In other words, the Septuagint was valid 150 years before
Christ.
The Latin Codex didn't come about until St Jerome translated the Greek manuscripts into Latin. This was done because
the Church had grown in the West and the common language was Latin at that time. Wycliffe was the first to translate
the Latin Codex into English and even then, the first translations were mere glosses or portions of the Latin Vulgate.
I'm not a Scripture Scholar but most who are, exist in the Catholic Church and always have been.
I'll listen to them before a participant in a social media internet forum like this.
