Tell me the correct dates and events for all 4 key events in the history of the Bible BEFORE the time of Christ.
Explain why it makes no sense to believe the Bible alone can the source for all Christian authority and truth in our lives.
1. any person who says they don't believe in the Catholic church but believes in the Bible is contradicting themselves:
-the Church put together the Bible
-for 300 years, through prayer, study, and discussion of these texts, the authority of the church discusses the nature of the books and then decided.
2. Jesus did NOT give us a book. Rather, he started a Church, and gave us Traditions (like the mass) to DO, in memory of him.
Explain these two things:
1. Why God chose human authors to write the bible
2. Why we needed written tradition eventually
1. God wants relationship with us, knows that we relate by human words and ideas --> wanted to give us a way of understanding Him in a way we could comprehend and grasp (working through human authors)
2. The telephone game -- initially, things were passed on by simple word of mouth, but over time, for the sake of accuracy and clarity, things began to be written as the church grew.
