“upport your claim or retract it.”
Matthew 15:8-9
8 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.
“Why? How do you know that the Gospel of Mark, not an Apostle, belong in the Bible and the Gospels of Thomas and Philip, both Apostles, do not? Is your acceptance of the Magisterium conditional or merely inconsistent?”
You Catholics amaze me, you will go to any length to discredit the Word of God. I bet you also believe the da vinci code was factual huh?
Eph. 4:17-19 17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of[a] the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; 19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Acts 17:30

You did not answer my question and the versus you cited in no way reflect the relationship between Catholics and God or Catholics and Scripture. Honesty would require that you admit that you know very little about the Catholic Church beyond what you have been told from non-Catholic sources but choose to accept that for the basis of your disdain and hatreds. Study the Church, its doctrines and Catechism before you make your conclusions. I will pray that the Holy Spirit give you the gifts of knowledge and wisdom so that your eyes may be opened.
Peace be with you.
