And that's why it's SO easy to manipulate them.
Don't read it for yourself; let the church tell you what it means.
“And that’s why it’s SO easy to manipulate them.”
No. Protestants say they rely on scripture and yet they are consistently wrong on theology and easily manipulated by their leaders.
“Don’t read it for yourself; let the church tell you what it means.”
Once again we see one of the logical flaws of Protestant anti-Catholicism. Essentially you’re saying someone who is illiterate is doomed.
What would happen next - under normal circumstances - is that you’ll deny that you are saying that. I’ll just remind you that most people have no advanced training in scripture, or Greek, or Hebrew. They are dependent upon their pastors (whether Catholic or not), or books they buy (Catholic or not), or translations - which are all interpretations (Catholic or not). Thus, in effect, only a tiny fraction of people on this Earth are reading the Bible for “themselves”.
That’s another logical flaw that Protestant anti-Catholics have never been able to make an effective answer to.
You’ll most likely demonstrate why in just a moment.
