Everything I have here mentioned is totally against scripture and has led to idolatry on the part of many of your membership. To say this isn't so is to deny reality.

You are not the arbiter of what defines reality.

This is an obvious one. If tradition contradicts the Word of God it is wrong.....period!

If the contradictions are so obvious, show me one!

This is what you don't get...many "Traditions" ARE the Word of God!

Catholics are not known to be students of the scriptures. This is a well known fact. It is exemplified on these very threads. Instead of answering from scripture passages we (the opposition) generally get "No we don't" or "that's not true" or "your private interpretation does not measure up" or something just as silly with no scriptural foundation in fact.

In your arrogance you ignore Catholics like me who came from the opposition and know Scripture quite well.

Often you don't get Scripture in response because you can not tell the difference between scripture and your interpretation of Scripture...as I already pointed out with regard to the Blessed Virgin.

Add to that the way you can ignore "this is my body" but shout from the rooftops"you must be born again" when there is MORE scripture for the former than the latter; is it any wonder we can't talk scripture with you?

Do not read the mind of another Freeper. Also, do not make this thread "about" individual Freepers. That is also a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
