***If the Catholic Church had been SO wrong and SO bad the ensuing Protestant Reformation SHOULD have formed ONE movement exclusive of the Catholic Church.
***Instead there are a myriad of Protestant teachings with every new Reformer that came along.
***I thought that BEING UNITED was the ideal. Being scattered into different denominations isn't UNITY at all. It seems to be even MORE scattered than BEFORE the Protestant Reformation.
***The Bible does NOT teach that whole categories of doctrines are "minor" and that Christians freely and joyfully can disagree in such a fashion. Denominationalism and divisions are vigorously condemned.
The only conclusion we can reach from the Bible is what we call the "three-legged stool: Bible, Church and Tradition are all necessary to arrive at truth."
Look up "A Quick Ten-Step Refutation of Sola Scriptura" if you like. One of the FReepers posted it. You can Google it and see for yourself.
As opposed to the myriad of catholic teachings which are generally just made up on the spot and called Traditions
And yet the Catholic Church doesn't believe it matters whether or not one believes in total Biblical inerrancy, Adam and Eve, Jonah, Daniel, Noah, etc.
You're sure one to talk.
