As a Catholic I get quite distressed that so many posters talk about “Jesus is Truth”,which of course is one of Catholicism's core beliefs yet never seem to understand the depth,scope,profundity and application of that simple statement.
The same superficial understanding of the term “Jesus is the Word” permeates the discussions on that subject also. This creates much frustration and more between the Catholics and non-Catholics.
Just know that to Catholics "Truth" and the "Word" means that everything that Jesus said,read,taught and did,where He did it,when He did it and who He spoke to is the "Truth" and the "Word",or in other words Jesus is all. Maybe Catholics have read too much into Scriptures and perhaps non-Catholics have limited Him by not considering everything written in the New Testament of great import.
Whatever is creating this I believe that the time has come for Christians to recognize that our religion and western civilization will be erased from our world as we know it if we don't stand together and do as God commanded.
Please explain.
Funny, and here Catholics are constantly telling non-Catholics that the words of Jesus take precedence over the rest of the NT and that non-Catholics are wrong for putting the writings of Paul on par with the gospels.
Non-Catholics just can't win.
