“..Why don’t Catholics follow the bible?”
Why don’t protestants? Sola scriptura is NOT in the bible. The instruction to follow traditions taht are handed on IS in the bible, not the written word alone. All scripture is profitable, but not ONLY scripture is profitable.
Why do protestants ignore John 6 - clear instructions for the eucharist?
Protestants are the ones who do not follow the bible and ignore very important chapters (or delete entire books if they don’t like them).
Are you referring to the traditions that the apostles never wrote down, yet they wrote many other things down? Could you list the traditions the apostles omitted from their written works?
I did once get an answer to the above question. It was from a Mormon who told me the BOM filled in the blanks.
stonehouse01: Why do protestants ignore John 6 - clear instructions for the eucharist?
Here ya go defconw you asked for bets on changing the subject which was on THE BIBLE. Stonehouse01 obviously wants to make this a eucharist thread.
However, stonehouse01 if you want to discuss the eucharist and how people wrest scriptures to fit traditions of later ages, please continue.
Which books or chapters? You mean the Bible chapters on the assumption of Mary, ordaining saints, priests offering a perpetual sacrifice. If Protestants omitted those most important doctrinal Bible chapters, please provide them here.
Galatians 1:8 New International Version (NIV)
8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!
Why do protestants ignore John 6 - clear instructions for the eucharist?
Because it’s talking about Spirit!!! Works are of the OT our Savior teaches us to worship in the Spirit not of the flesh.
John 4:24 New International Version (NIV)
24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
Galatians 3:10-11 New International Version (NIV)
10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.”
Keep following that Catechism and unfortunately when you find out how wrong the teachings of the world are it will be too late.
Then for the love of God, if there is any truth to that, pass on to us just one unwritten tradition that was passed on by the apostles, with proof of course...
So right!
