If you really believe that, then I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.

But since you bring it up, tell me in scripture where to find the doctrine of sola scripture. And what is your take on John 6?

There you go. This whole thread is about Adam and Eve but rather than answer aimhigh's question you immediately invoke the only verses which the Catholic Church interprets literally. Why don't you answer the question about Adam and Eve? Why do you dodge it?

I take this as a back door admission that you don't believe the events narrated in Genesis actually happened. After all, that's "heretical" for a Catholic (or an Orthodox), isn't it?

You know what's really crazy? Aside from Augustine most of your church fathers were young-earth creationists. They never felt the need to limit the literal details of Genesis like their so-called followers do. But every statement in which they agree with Fundamentalist Protestants is dismissed because "they were relying on the science of their time and didn't know what we know today." Yet every teaching on which they disagree with Fundamentalist Protestants is treated as untouchable divinely-revealed truth!

What a lousy attitude to have!

Actually, the following comment started the ball rolling … I merely responded to it.

A bible in the hand of a Catholic is like the constitution in the hands of a liberal.

Now kindly retract the claws.
