The mythology and legend of Catholic relics, teachings, etc. is extant. RC traditions such as Thomas witnessing in India, Peter being the first bishop of Rome or Antioch are without historical foundation. The thousands of so called relics have no historical provenance. The RC Church has no historical basis at all for these claims, either scriptural or through historical documentation. It is similar to Mariology, saint veneration, papal infallibility, etc. There is no scriptural evidence for any of this. This mythology is all built on the cornerstone of your doctrinal authority - tradition and apocryphal writings.

I really didn't want to get into this again...but you are just plain wrong in your assertions. I don't want to tarry too long with you, but here's a couple of examples pertaining to relics:

Act 5:15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and pallets, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

Act 19:11 And God did extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,

Act 19:12 so that handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.

2Ki 13:20 So Eli'sha died, and they buried him. Now bands of Moabites used to invade the land in the spring of the year.

2Ki 13:21 And as a man was being buried, lo, a marauding band was seen and the man was cast into the grave of Eli'sha; and as soon as the man touched the bones of Eli'sha, he revived, and stood on his feet.

Those are ONLY THREE examples of the use of relics in the Bible. There are more.

(sigh) Really and truly my FRiend, you should make sure that you know what you're talking about before casting stones.

Thus speaketh gscc so therefore it must be true. However, the facts are more stubborn then you so I will respectfully agree to disagree.

RC traditions such as Thomas witnessing in India,

HA!!! you point out your errors once more -- that is a Marthomite tradition -- the Church founded by Mar / Saint Thomas in INdia. This is witnessed and acknowledged by the Syrian Church -- the Syro-Malabar, the Syro-Malankara, the Syrian Orthodox Church in India, the Chaldean Church, the Assyrian Church etc. -- all ancient sources dealing back 2000 years. The CAtholic Church humbly acknowledges the history of these eastern brethern. Do you deny them this? Do you state that the first countries to convert like Armenia or Ethiopia were wrong?
