How do you know that?

Because it doesn't say, "let the words spoken by Christ dwell in you richly". I really don't need the authority of the Catholic church to tell me what each word and sentence means in the bible. When Jesus said:

Matt 6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God

He didn's say, you error not knowing what the church says the scriptures say. He is charging them with not knowing the scriptures.

When you as an RC have a system built apart from the scriptures and spend quite a bit of time trying to reduce the value of the scriptures as they apply to the faith of a believer, it grows pretty tiresome to hear you say that I am also not worthy to think I know what they say.

"Matt 6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God"

Jesus is speaking of the OT Scriptures, correct? And how do you know the NT writings as compiled are Scriptures?

"When you as an RC have a system built apart from the scriptures"

You mean "built" BEFORE the NT Scriptures...By Christ Himself.

"it grows pretty tiresome to hear you say that I am also not worthy to think I know what they say."

I NEVER said you don't know what the Scriptures SAY (although we certainly disagree on a few matters). I am saying "how do you know you HAVE 'Scriptures' when you read the 'Acts of the Apostles', but not 'Acts of Paul'?". Who said you have SCRIPTURE? Why are the Gnostic Gospels not Scripture?

Regards
