The scripture is inspired by God, and the ( implied catholic) Church is guided by God in its interpretation.

And you know that how?

no, you conveniently just lump them all together as "anti-Catholics" meaning everyone who isn't a Catholic,

I gave you scriptures explaining my position-- awaiting yours

For the LAST TIME, show me where I wrote the the Assumption DENIES the Resurrection or I will conclude that you were mind reading.

Dr. E is correct only insofar as to the fact that the Assuumption of Mary became an official dogma in, I believe, in 1952, which doesn´t mean it is what the Church believed or held to be true.

Not to be argumentative but the year was 1950. I remember it well. In fact my first daughter was named in honor of the Marian Year, declared by Pope Pius XII, in 1954.

The belief in the bodily assumption of Mary was far from unanimous either in the East or the West.

The Church didn't define the Holy Trinity until some time after the Resurrection; however, the Trinity has ALWAYS existed.

So say you and the men who arbitrarilly declared it so.

*Now, thousands of posts later, we have a bunch of non-Catholics who believe that the most important tenet of their faith is that they don't believe what Catholics believe. Being an anti-Catholic makes someone a bigot, not a Christian. There are more than a few anti-Catholics on this thread who make well over 90% of their posts on anti-Catholic threads, they aren't Christians, they are agents of Satan, they are known by their fruits. *

we have posts by Christians who believe and study scripture, not what the changing opinions of men tell us to believe, which you yourself realize from the post, yet you make the spurious leap that not believing theology makes one anti-Catholic. Somehow, when we refuse to believe men over the scriptures, this makes us "anti-Catholic" when we are anti-Catholic belief", big difference.

Again, this is FALSE. I specifically wrote about Protestants who DO NOT reject Marian teachings.

So it is ok with God if we only "sorta" keep His commandments? They are really only suggestions right? If we work hard and do lots of good stuff ..on Gods scale we get in cause the "good" outweighs the bad???

Did jesus mean what He said or not?

If a man lives by the law, and believes he is saved by the law..he will be judged by the law..(Romans 2:12) he will never pass, because NO ONE can keep the law perfectly except Christ

Think of it this way, You are charged with robbery, and you stand before the judge, and he asks if you have anything to say for yourself ...and you reply , but judge I feed my sick neighbor, and I work with handicapped children... would the judge dismiss your sentence?

Not if he is a just judge ...He would say" that is very nice, but you are still guilty of stealing from a family... so your sentence is......... "

God is a just judge.. He will not give you community service, he will sentence you .

The law saves no one, it only condemns

Again, show me where I specifically named ANYONE as an anti-Catholic.

Why did you ping RnMomof7, she and I are FRiends, have been for a good while. We are both fully aware of what we disagree on, but I'm quite sure she knows that I consider her a sister in Christ.

So am I to conclude that if you love neither God nor your neighbor nor have faith even the size of the mustard seed, you’re OK with God?

Posters on this board, you said,

Actually, the term I used was anti-Catholics on this thread.

We are nearly 9000 posts into this thread, it would take a great deal of mind reading to know which specific posters I was talking about. Unless of course there were some on this thread who publicly list their religion to be anti-Catholicism.

The ONLY person I said anything about specifically was the original poster and I didn't say that until some time after he was banned for being a troll.

“”By golly - sounds like Sola Scripture to me.””

By golly- I think you need to read more about Blessed Augustine rather than guessing at what he taught

From Blessed Augustine...
http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/1102054.htm

As to those other things which we hold on the authority, NOT of Scripture, but of TRADITION, and which are observed throughout the whole world, it may be understood that they are held as approved and instituted either by the apostles themselves, or by plenary Councils, whose authority in the Church is most useful, e.g. the annual commemoration, by special solemnities, of the Lord’s passion, resurrection, and ascension, and of the descent of the Holy Spirit from heaven, and whatever else is in like manner observed by the whole Church wherever it has been established.

yes, you made the leap that people who don't believe Catholic writings are anti-Catholic. People are on a theology discussion thread-- when someone doesn't agree with your ideas, that does not make them bigots, satanists or trolls, nor do you have the right to call them such, personally or collectively.

The belief in the bodily assumption of Mary was far from unanimous either in the East or the West.

Oh, is that why it was commemorated liturgically for centuries in both East and West?

Actually, I didn't. Several times on this thread I have specifically differentiated between Protestant and anti-Catholics.

when someone doesn't agree with your ideas, that does not make them bigots, satanists or trolls, nor do you have the right to call them such, personally or collectively.

I never said anyone had to agree with me.

I have every right to call a non-specific group bigots.

The original poster of this thread was banned for making one of the most offensive statements I've ever seen here.

“The fact that YOUR interpretation of Scripture is at odds with the Church's DOES NOT mean that your’s is correct.”

More pettifogging over an easily understood few lines of Scripture.

And so far you haven't said what the Catholic Church's official interpretation of 2 Cor. 2:10 is so what you've been saying is just YOUR interpretation, isn't it?

So what do you base your interpretation upon?

well yes you did, right here

You go from belief to bigot, just like that
