"I personally use commentaries and study aids all the time."

So how can you criticize Catholics for doing the same unless you believe that the Magisterium is inherently evil or less credible than the authors of your commentaries and study aids.

"If any teaching CONTRADICTS Scripture it is TO BE REJECTED as Scripture is the FINAL AUTHORITY on truth from error."

On that we are in complete agreement, however Catholics do not accept that 100% of the revealed Word is contained in Scripture.

"When HINDUISM is MINGLED with the GOSPEL - IT IS heresy..."

The Catechism begins with the the following:

"1 God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man. He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family, the Church."

When words of any origin confirm the desire to seek and know God they are to be embraced.

I criticize Catholics for not rejecting their 'resources' when their 'resources' are teaching heresy. Instead, catholics defend the 'resources'. If one of my 'resources' begins to contradict Scripture, I throw it out, I don't defend it!

however Catholics do not accept that 100% of the revealed Word is contained in Scripture.

And that is why Catholics can no longer discern what is truth and what is error, and why Hinduism and Islam is now being merged into the faith as 'another pathway to God'.

The Catechism.....blah blah blah...

Catechism #841

841 - The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day.

If you can't see the error, blasphemy, and heresy of uniting Christ with Allah........there's no help for you. Good luck on judgment day - you're going to need it.
