Let's not be snippy about snippets! After-all your own reply was snippet-like.

Your posting was a snippet of the Catechism, much like many Protestant justifications for theology from Scriptures, and just about as valid. I posted enough of the surrounding Catechism to put it into context. Remember that it is possible justify all first millennium heresies from Scripture (although not the Calvinist heresies and the resulting derivatives).

Such is not taught in the Scriptures.

Many things are not taught in the Scriptures but the Protestant pantheon variously will believe in them - such as the Trinity, transubstantiation, the mission of St. Thomas the Unbeliever to India, and also various falsehoods such as the existence of full siblings of Jesus, the journeys of Jesus and Joseph of Arimathea to Britain, and so on.

I can’t do it as well as the original but I’ll try:

Welll EXCUUUUUSSSSEEEE ME!!!!!

I will continue to get my theology from the Scriptures, it being ‘sharper than two edged sword’ and what others do is their affair.

I’m beginning to like this word, “snippets” so I’ll use it more with you. SNIPPETS YES!

Just like the Catholic church takes snippets from Scripture to justify ITS doctrine. A snippet here from John 6, and a snippet there from Matthew 1.

The amusing thing is, the Catholic snippets of Scripture are not only snippets out of context with the passage, but even snippets of one verse or sentence.

Catholicism is the master of snippeting.
