Featured Divine Mercy Chaplet for Protestants?

The Bible came from the Catholic Church, it was the Catholic Church that canonised it, and preserved the scriptures from the Apostles, no baptist did that.

It was never yours to privately interpret.

 

Fell from a cloud you say. It was the Catholic Church which told the world what is the word of God in the first place.

False. Any historian will tell you.

 

No. As L J Boudreaux points out.

“The Christian Bible were enumerated and approved by various councils, synods, and popes of the Catholic Church, beginning with the Council of Rome in 382 A.D. Presided over by Pope Damasus I, the Council of Rome first promulgated what we came to know as the canon of the Christian Bible in a document called The Decree of the Council of Rome on the Canon of Scripture. The second part of this decree, which gives a complete list of the canonical books of both the Old and the New Testament, is referred to as the “Damasine List.” Just more than a decade later in 393 A.D. a council of bishops, including St. Augustine of Hippo, affirmed the same canon of Scripture at the Synod of Hippo. The Synod of Carthage (397 A.D.) and the Council of Carthage (419 A.D.)”

All 73 books of the Bible remained, even in Protestant bibles till the early 1800s when Protestants removed some of them altogether.

The first complete official Bible was canonised by the Council of Rome and decreed by Pope Damasus, and settled it for the whole world.

No Baptists or Protestants had anything to do with preserving the scriptures from the Apostles or canonising the Bible. Only Catholics, the Bible is the Catholic Church’s book entirely.

 

There was no canon, the scriptures were Catholic Liturgy preserved by Catholic Tradition.

“For the blessed apostle Paul himself, following the rule of his predecessor John, writes only by name to seven Churches in the following order–to the Corinthians afirst…there is a second to the Corinthians and to the Thessalonians, yet one Church is recognized as being spread over the entire world…Howbeit to Philemon one, to Titus one, and to Timothy two were put in writing…to be in honour however with the Catholic Church for the ordering of ecclesiastical discipline…one to the Laodicenes, another to the Alexandrians, both forged in Paul’s name to suit the heresy of Marcion, and several others, which cannot be received into the Catholic Church; for it is not fitting that gall be mixed with honey. The Epistle of Jude no doubt, and the couple bearing the name of John, are accepted by the Catholic Church…But of Arsinous, called also Valentinus, or of Militiades we receive nothing at all.” The fragment of Muratori (A.D. 177).

“In his [Origen] first book on Matthew’s Gospel, maintaining the Canon of the Church, he testifies that he knows only four Gospels, writing as follows: Among the four Gospels, which are the only indisputable ones in the Church of God under heaven, I have learned by tradition that the first was written by Matthew, who was once a publican, but afterwards an apostle of Jesus Christ, and it was prepared for the converts from Judaism, and published in the Hebrew language. The second is by Mark, who composed it according to the instructions of Peter, who in his Catholic epistle acknowledges him as a son, saying, ‘The church that is at Babylon elected together with you, saluteth you, and so doth Marcus, my son.’ And the third by Luke, the Gospel commended by Paul, and composed for Gentile converts. Last of all that by John.” Origen, Commentary on Matthew, fragment in Eusebius Church History, 6:25,3 (A.D. 244).

The Authority that determined the Canon of Scripture is Catholic Tradition, not from the book’s themselves.
It was the lineage of who handed the books down in Catholic Tradition.
There is no Apostolic scripture which lists which books belong in the Bible, the Bible Canon is entirely Catholic Tradition.

No.
The 73 Book 382 Canonical decree of Pope Damasus is confirmed by the Council of Hippo in 393 and the Council of Carthage in 397. In 405 Pope Innocent I reaffirmed the canon in a letter to Bishop Exuperius of Toulouse. Another council at Carthage, this one in the year 419, All of these canons were identical to the modern Catholic Bible, and all of them included the deuterocanonicals.
This exact same canon was implicitly affirmed at the seventh ecumenical council, II Nicaea (787), which approved the results of the 419 Council of Carthage, and explicitly reaffirmed at the ecumenical councils of Florence (1442), Trent (1546), Vatican I (1870), and Vatican II (1965).

So all the ancient councils of the Catholic Church confirmed the same 73 book Canon, up to the time of Luther and Councils after Luther till today.

Luther removed books from his Bible, the 7 deuterocanonicals, and Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation.

Arrogant behaviour off his own authority. He rejected Hebrews because it referred to 2 Maccabees 7. James because it explicitly said “ not by faith alone “.
And other Catholic doctrinal references he wanted to erase from scripture, like praying for the dead and Purgatory.

He butchered his scripture to suit his new heretical teachings. He was no champion of Scripture, he was an arrogant vandal and spiritual mass murderer.
The more I read about Luther and Calvin the more ungodly and detestable their characters seem to be.

Do I need to quote these guys, or do you know what I’m referring to. You follow these guys doctrines as inspired?

Trent just reaffirmed the same 73 vulgate of 382 AD and every Council in between for over 1000 years before Luther.
And the Church Fathers already believed in Purgatory, I can quote them at length.

No, the first act of Protestantism was to butcher the scriptures, then subject what was left to their fallible human opinions, spawning every wind of doctrine.

 

The alternative is the authority of Luther’s arrogance, and reject the combined councils of ancient churches and all their bishops.
Not a wise trade off.

In those times, if you were Christian you were Catholic.

Protestants use the early Catholic councils to confirm the authority of the New Testament, yet reject those same councils authority to confirm the Old Testament.

The highest earthly authority in Protestantism is not councils or scripture, but each man’s conflicted opinion of scripture.

Each declares himself an oracle, Sola Ego is the first and central Sola.
