Yes, Catholic Church changes the scriptures to suit man. Rev 22 paragraph
18 for I testify unto every man that hearth the words of the prophecy of this book if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. Revelation 23 paragraph 19 And if any Man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
I know you are truly seeking , there are others here that can help you much more than I, I am the least of God's creatures. I consider myself a literal Christian. And I always do my own research and interpretation. Some churches and preachers tend to pick and choose what scriptures they want to live by. For example, some churches say homosexuals will go to hell, that is true , but that verse that they ride on also list the adulterer , the alcoholic , thief's , murderer ect , all in the same paragraph. Must read everything into context. And you don't need a priest to talk to God for you, you can have your own personal relationship with Jesus. Catholic Church is like the pharisees.
Was fornication/premarital s3x added in by the Catholic Church to stop Jews from breeding more soldiers? If they’re scared to burn for having sex, they won’t do it. Right? What makes you married? Because I’ve heard the Gov came up with it. I know God made marriage. Adam & Eve were the first. What makes you married in the eyes of God? Sex? A promise? Deep Commitment?
I believe that in days gone by, in England, the Church did not hold weddings and they forbade you to hold a wedding on Church grounds. Some people who wanted to involve the church got married in the church's lych gate.
My guess is that as the power of the Catholic Church grew, they spotted that countries were forming alliances by marriage. Kings in one country would marry princesses from another to bind those countries together. The Church hierarchy would realise that if they controlled marriages then they could control the global alliances. Enter the Church's rules on who is allowed to be married to whom - and priests would need to get involved.
