Yeah, the Bible has it all wrong. God is wrong. Look to fallible men with an agenda on how to follow Christ. Saracsm off.

Is it any wonder that people try to help you in pointing out verse after verse after verse, from the dreaded Bible, that shows something completely different to what fallible men would have you believe. Still the Bible is rejected and posts like this pop up to justify unBiblical beliefs and practices.

Of course this silly post isn't Bible bashing ... nah that's a one sided word to only be used when a Catholic is confronted with Biblical truth and contrasted to what has been taught by their church.

The basic point in my post is that, in the Protestant scheme, "biblical truth" is whatever the interpreter says it is. I know it is not a pallatable idea and I can see why you would find it shocking, uncomfortable, and challenging. The existence of thousands of Protestant sects prove my point.

It will remain so as long as you can't produce the chapter and verse where we can find a list of the closed biblical canon.

Scripture is holy because God says so, yes, but this only becomes meaningful when the Church proclaims it so. Without the Church's discernment and proclamation, there wouldn't be any "Scripture."

The Catholic Church as a human institution is not above criticism. But neither are her critics.

Fallible men like Martin Luther? Fact is that each Protestant church has a magister, and when a member decides to reject the infallibility of this magisterium , he seeks out another or becomes one himself. The only Reformer who really sought to reconstitute the catholic church on a proper footing was Calvin. But after the anti-pope of Geneva died, even his movement lost its center.
