No, you would be here much longer listing the areas where you have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the harmony of the Catholic doctrine with Scripture.
"It all gets back to AUTHORITY again NL."
No, it gets down to the truth. Scripture, like any complex concept or document requires an explanation of context and a definition of the terms used in its exploration. Catholics rely on something more that the authority of self-serving "reformers", undereducated storefront pastors and gut feel to get our context and definitions. We go directly to the original editors and publishers of Scripture and to those who kept Scripture alive for 2000 years.
Can you name a single thing Catholics are "not allowed to see". After all, it is not the Catholics who redacted the bible and relegated the Synoptic Gospels to something intended only for the Jews.
If the correct authority is being followed, truth will always be present.
If the wrong authority is being followed, you can't know truth from error.
And I notice you didn't answer the question specifically Your statement, "We go directly to the original editors and publishers of Scripture and to those who kept Scripture alive for 2000 years" leads me to believe your authority ISN'T the Word of God itself, but rather the Magisterium.
Are you suggesting that God is incapable of letting His truth be known to men through Scripture without another authority to ‘authenticate’ it? If so, then I would respond, "If God wants to give His Word in written form without the need of another authority to authenticate it, that is within His power to do whatever He decrees." I would also respond, "Why would God need to have fallen men authenticate His Word?" Wouldn't that strip Him of His Power and His Authority and His Glory??? I think so.
I would also ask, "Why does the Roman Catholic assume that the only alternative to sola Scriptura is the Magesterium of Rome?" There are numerous “churches” that claim infallible authority and Rome is just one of them. The Eastern Orthodox, the Mormons, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and every cult on the planet also claims infallibility and the sole authority for their group.
Clearly the Vatcian Cult's farcical notions have taken a nose dive to new lower depths of hell's deceptions with such an assertion.
I wonder why they just don't characteristically brazenly toss even their rubberized pseudo-'Bible's aside and claim that all truth now is based on White Hankys delivered from the Fatima ET personage by motherships.
We go directly to the original author of Scripture, God Himself.
GOD kept Scripture alive for 2,000 years in spite of the Catholic church, not because of it.
