“Some people” know better.

Who’s fooling who? The largest used portion of the Bible serves by most RCC households is convenient family records section. There they record all the “sacramental” events in the lives of their children.

Other than the extra books that justify non-Biblical doctrine, I have found the RCC translations to be generally reasonable, even good. But let’s face it, there’s little risk of an RCC member actually reading it.

LOL. What a shallow understanding you display. You have been thoroughly propagandized.

Personally, I think there are people who are fooling themselves and are trying to fool others by and for their own egos which have become their whole focus. There are people out there who think they know the hearts and the minds of over a billion people. Their hearts have become convinced that they speak for God and if they don't personally believe it or understand it it doesn't come from God.

Maybe I'm underestimating them because they seem to speak as though they have all knowledge and understanding. They seem to be setting themselves up as gods who can judge the actions and beliefs of others. They seem to think that their eisegesis is applicable to everyone. Some, in their conceit, believe that they have more human knowledge than that assembled by the believers of Christ for 2000 years. I don't begrudge them their belief because God is supreme, He will save who He will.

As for me and my house, I will serve the Lord, my God through His body of believers through the Catholic Church. Others have chosen their own way and I trust that God will lead them.
