To: Havoc
God and His scriptures combine to be a final authority for us. It's just that some give lip service to God and badmouth his Scriptures in favor of Tradition and a bunch of confused old men that couldn't agree on the color of crap.

Havoc, I've had about enough of your disrespect and downright ignorance. I realize you won't affirm that the Church translated Scripture into Latin so people who were literate could read it, because that would violate you policy of never giving the Catholics any credit.

But can you step back for a minute and at least pretend that I am a fellow Christian and that when I read the Bible I read different things into the words than you do? I think that you recognize when, for instance, Calvinists and Arminians aruge free will, that both sides honestly are trying to use Scripture to bolster their points. They're not being devious, it's just that certain truths occur to certain people as more important than others.

Can you step back? Can you see that arguments over what the Bible means are not arguments "attacking" God and the Bible? Can you?
