I am not a Catholic...but I am willing to bet, that the Pope, has a much greater knowledge of the Bible, than you do(true, I dont know you or your background, but I do know that the Pope has studied the Bible in great remarkable detail, and no doubt has access to great Biblical scholars, as well as access of great scientific minds)... >

Here is the difference. I believe the Bible. I believe God's Word to be true.

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica,
in that they received the word with all readiness of mind,
and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:11

The Pope and the Catholic Church can not make the same claim.

Read it and weep, and if you have a problem with the pope and the catholic church rejecting the Bible please take it up with them.

Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible By Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent

THE hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true.

I have yet, in my 50 years of life, to come across a Roman Catholic Church member who ACTED in his day-to-day life as if he did believe that any of the Bible is actually true. There may be some, but I've just never come across one, and I've traveled from (USA) coast-to-coast and all over East Asia. I mean, many Christians have testified to me about their faith in Jesus Christ...to me personally, face-to-face. But no Roman Catholic has ever approached me at any time, in any fashion, in any context to tell me how being a Roman Catholic has given them such joy. I've never seen Roman Catholics ever studying their Bibles together in parks or restaurants. Maybe some do. I've never been handed a piece of literature encouraging me to consider Roman Catholicism as a faith or a way of life.

So, that the RCC would put out a document to the effect that some parts of the Bible are not actually true probably didn't cause much of a stir among Roman Catholics, did it?

Good grief, you try to make it sound as if the Pope and the Catholic Church reject the whole Bible...and that is certainly NOT, what this article you link to, states...

What I get from the article, is that the Catholic Church says that in, scientific, and secular matters, the Bible, as written today, may not be entirely accurate...it is a heck of a leap to go from that, to saying that the Pope and the Catholic church cannot make the claim(that you claim for yourself), that they believe the Bible, and believe Gods word to be true....

But you do seem to want to twist the meaning of this article to suit your own agenda...that is dishonest, at the very least...

No honest person would ever make the claim that one should 'read it and weep and if I have a problem with the Pope and the Catholic Church rejecting the Bible, I should take it up with them', based on this article...

This article addresses a very narrow scope of some things in the Bible...but in your way, you want to try to make everyone believe that the Pope and the Catholic Church reject the Bible, in its entirety...sure you did not say it that way, but you have made very broad, sweeping, generalizations which are untrue, hence are lies...You do go on at the end of your post to then say, well the Catholic church is teaching that 'some' things in the Bible are not true...but your earlier remarks are very general and broad sweeping, hinting that the Catholic Church rejects the whole Bible...I find this to be very dishonest on your part...

At the very least, you are twisting the truth to suit your purpose...and therefore I see dishonesty in you...just how I see it...
