Catholics inherited the Old Testament Scriptures from the Jews, this was called the Septuagint, and was The Bible in Greek that Our Blessed Lord, and His Apostles used. It was produced in the third century before Christ, and has been the common Scriptures used for centuries by most of the Jews, and then by the Christian Church. The list of the canonical Scriptures was produced around the year 382 A.D. and is found in a work call The Decree of [Pope] Damasus, which is either a papal decree OR the work of the Council of Rome which was held in 382 A.D.

Why isn't the name Catholic Church used in the Bible?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church wrote the New Testament, and decided which books would make up the canon of the Bible as we have it today. In other words, it preceded the Bible, and wrote it; authors do not normally include their names in their books - or answers for that matter. I do not write "PiusX says" although Wiki puts my name down at the bottom, you don't see me write it in the answer normally. In the same way, the Church does have "Church" in the Bible, but does not have "Catholic" in there. The word "Catholic" just means universal, and wasn't applied to the Church until the end of the first century.
Is it true that there is a place in the bible that says you have to go to a pacific church to go two if so were?
I think that you meant this: "Is it true that there is a place in the Bible that says you have to go to a specific church to go to. If so, where?" During the times that the Holy Bible is written about, the people followed Judaism, and were called Jews. There were no "denominations" or types of church like there are today. Jesus the Christ was a Jewish rabbi, or teacher, but it was a long time after His death that the first 'other' churches began, based on His teachings. The first was the Holy Catholic Church which soon split into the Roman Catholic church and the Byzantine Catholic church, (which is now represented by the Russian Orthodox church, the Greek Orthodox church, and others).

What thing did the Roman church place on a level with the Bible?
Roman Catholic AnswerYou have this a little confused. First of all, when you are asking about the "Roman" Church, I assume that you are asking about the Catholic Church. Secondly, if you are asking about the Catholic Church, then please realize that the Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. The Church, as in the Pope and the Bishops are not capable of making a decision as to placing anything on the same level as the Bible, the Church only receiveswhat It believes from God, and It must follow what It has received. Finally, read your history, the Catholic Church wrote the Bible in the first century as part of Its preaching, had two Councils and a Pope decided which books belong in the Bible in the fourth and fifth century, and has carefully preserved the Sacred Scriptures from error since then. The Sacred Scriptures which are the very Word of God (Jesus Christ) in the Words of God is part of the Sacred Tradition that Our Blessed Lord gave Her to teach to the people everywhere at all times.

Why does the Catholic Church develop so many rules that aren't based on the Bible?
Nearly every rule of the Catholic Church has its basis in Biblical teachings - both from the Old and the New Testaments. You might give a specific example and we will try to explain how it is Biblical. Some rulings may be based on traditions which Saint Paul holds are as important as scripture.Roman Catholic AnswerIt is important to keep in mind that Our Blessed Lord established the Church, He did NOT write the Bible. The Bible was written by, formed by, defined by, and perserved by the Catholic Church. Without the Catholic Church there simply would be no New Testament. Every writer of every book of the New Testament (including the God, who is the primary author of Scripture) was a member of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church, in other words wrote the Bible in the first century after Our Blessed Lord's death. She did not establish which books were to be included and which excluded until the fourth century, and she has perserved the Bible inerrantly since then. The question then should be, are there any rules in the Bible that are not in the Church, and the obvious answer is No, they have one and the same source - God. Futher, the Catholic Church does not develop rules, she follows the rules that God has revealed to Her as needed for salvation, the first one, of which, is to believe in Our Blessed Lord, and to follow His Church, which is His Mystical Body and the way He has established to lead all people to heaven.
