Yes. Jesus said and did what the Father told him to. His words were simple but are only understood by those who choose to believe. In one part of The Bible Jesus praised the Father by saying how it pleased the father to have it this way - those who thought they were righteous (those who believe they have the answers not God) did not understand what Jesus was telling them. The Catholic Church interprets the bible to explain God's will to the willing.

What created the New Testament?
The early Church created the New Testament.
Does the Catholic Church teach from the New Testament of the Bible?
Yes the catholic church does teach from the new testament. If you go to the library or a book store, you can find the New American bible. this is the catholic bible. It contains all of the old and new testament, plus additional books. The catholic church was the first original church started by Jesus, the son of God. As time went on, people disagreed with some books that the catholic church said were divinely inspired. These people broke off into their own groups of churches and created all of the different denominations we have today. They also took books out of the original bible, bc they did not feel they were divinely inspired.AnswerYes, they do, but not as claimed by the first respondent.Jesus did not start any religion or church as we understand it today. The closest interpretation I can relate to is the concept of a body of believers, rendered "church" in the King James' New Testament. The Son of God does not claim to be a religion, nor does His Father. It is a faith. The "church" is not Abraham, the Pope or Billy Graham but rather a "body of believers" in Christ, the Messianic son of God. The Catholic church was founded in failing Rome as Emporor Constantine decreed it for politically expedient reasons. But I do not question Constantine's soul and conversion, just as I also respect the contributions made by Catholics for Christianity. But I cannot abide the claim that Jesus was the first Catholic. Grotesquely absurd. The Catholic church has individuals responsible for the salvation of many souls but their history is more about exerting controlling unbiblical practices meant to subdue the masses. For example, there is no Biblical justification for "Confession" to a man in a wooden box, only to Almighty God through Christ's blood in your prayers. A Catholic priest is not God. The analogy of being children is to God, not a priest. Another fair criticism of Catholicism is "Maryology", or, the unmeritted worship of her image and other icons, even Jesus, expressly warned against by God in the Ten Commandments' admonishment about graven images and holding other gods above Him. The Mexican with an image of a bleeding Christ painted on his new truck, or Mel Gibson's movie, or the fish on the bumper of a car that just rudely cut me off in traffic are all graven images.The Catholic church uses the New Testament but also abuses it. The message of God to people by Christ has never had anything to do with Catholicism or any other religion. Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church was founded by Our Blessed Lord to teach the faith and bring people to God. As part of teaching the faith It wrote and assembled the New Testament. The Catholic Church does teach from the New Testament, but before that it wrote the New Testament as part of Its teaching. The New Testament, as we have it today was not assembled and approved by the Catholic Church until the fifth century. The Church had been teaching the faith for four and a half centuries before there was an official "New Testament", and we can thank the Catholic Church for putting it together, approving it and keeping it free from error for the following fifteen centuries.

Is the name Catholic Church Biblical?
.Catholic AnswerThe name "Catholic" came about before the Bible (New Testament) was written completely, and definitely before it was put together in the fourth century. The "Church" part is in the Bible, but not the word "Catholic." Members of the Catholic Church wrote the Bible, and then Pope Damasus and the Council of Rome ordered which books definitively made up the Canon of the New Testament. In other words, the Bible depends upon the Catholic Church, not the other way around. So, no, the words "Catholic Church" do not appear in the New Testament.
Did the Catholic Church remove the Gospels by the women followers of Jesus?
No, the Catholic Church determined the New Testament canon in the fourth century, and has zealously guarded it ever since. It is through the watchfulness of the Catholic church - and no one else, that we have the New Testament today, as determined by the Holy Spirit. It has never been changed.

When did Roman Catholicism and Biblical Christianity start?
.Catholic AnswerRoman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church and Biblical Christianity are the same thing as the Catholic Church wrote and compiled the New Testament, although there was no New Testament, as we have it now, until the Council of Rome near the end of the fourth century. Christianity has always been the Catholic Church, and, as Our Blessed Lord promised, it remains the only Christianity Church and will be here until the end of the world.
Did the Roman Catholic Church change Scriptures that involved hell?
.Catholic AnswerRoman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church .The Catholic Church did not "change" any Scriptures, the Catholic Church wrote the New Testament in the first hundred years after Our Blessed Lord's Ascension, and put it together, eliminating those books which were not inerrant, at the end of the fourth century. Since that time, the Catholic Church has zealously guarded the Scriptures and does so until this day. The only time that the Scriptures were tampered with was by protestant heretics who left the Church in the 16th century, they threw seven books out of the Old Testament, using a fictious Jewish Council that supposedly occurred two generations AFTER Our Blessed Lord's Ascension, and edited the New Testament to agree with their new doctrines.
Does the Catholic Bible have both Old and New Testaments?
.Catholic AnswerAs the Catholic Church is the one that wrote the New Testament, decided which books would go into it, translated the Old Testament from the Greek Septuagint, and the New from the original documents; and then preserved the entire thing for over 15 centuries, not only does it have both the Old and New Testaments, but without the Catholic Church nobody would have either. It was the Church that preserved and copied all the books of both for the past two thousand years. Before the printing press was invented, without the Catholic monks spending their entire lives making copies of both, they would have been lost centuries ago. The Jews threw out six books of the Old Testament some time in the first century as they supported Catholic teaching, and those, too, would have been lost. .Specifically, there is no "Catholic Bible", there is only the Bible, which the Catholic Church has carefully maintained all these centuries. There is a "protestant bible" which threw out books which didn't agree with Martin Luther's new religion, and there is a Jewish Bible which was only part of the Old Testament. The only complete Bible is maintained in the Catholic Church.

How does the New Testament relate to the Catholic religion?
.Catholic AnswerThe New Testament is the fulfillment of the Old Covenant contained in the Old Testament. It was written by members of the Catholic Church during the first hundred and twenty years, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, after Our Blessed Lord ascended into heaven. The New Testament as we have it today was approved by the Council of Rome in the late fourth century, the Council of Trent repeated the Decrees of Rome 1,100 years later. The New Testament, thus, is the Catholic religion's ancient preaching of the Gospel, it is the words of God, in God's own Words. The Church teaches that the Bible is inerrant, and to be venerated as we venerate the Body of Our Blessed Lord. So your question is backward, it should be, "How did the Catholic religion write, approve, and preserve the New Testament for 2,000 years??
Where does it say in the Catholic Bible that baptism can be done by sprinkling?
Roman Catholic AnswerThere is only a Bible, the Bible used by the Catholic Church is the entire New Testament and the entire Old Testament. The only thing that makes it a "Catholic" Bible is the guarantee in the front of it that it conforms to the Bible as accepted by the Church since the fourth century. And, no, nowhere in the Bible does it say anything about sprinkling for baptism.
