Where in the Bible does it say we should rely on the Bible alone?
Read 1 Timothy 3:15.
It's not just the Bible, but the Church.
"But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." Some translations say "pillar and bullwork of the truth".
If your relying soley on the Bible then you are not getting the "Full Gospel". Your getting a lot of it, but not the whole deal.
I also find it very interesting that most protestants speak of being guided by the Holy Spirit, yet you can go to many of the 25,000 !!!!! different protestant churches and they all seem to have their own little twist to the truth. Sounds like the Holy Spirit must be really confused.
No...I'll stick with the Catholic Church. I'm a convert to the RCC and was very impressed when a anti-catholic writer went to the Vatican to research all the "corrupt" popes and converted to Catholicism. He found that even with the most corrupt popes, the one thing they never tried to do was change the Church's teachings on Faith and Morals. He was convicted that the words of Jesus regarding protecting the church were indeed true and the only church that can claim to be the one true church is the Catholic Church.
"Let me solemnly assure you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. He who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood real drink. The man who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him."
