"Just because you believe that doesn't make it true nor does it mean I have to believe it."

John 21:25 " Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down....".

Sort of implies that everything wasn't written down, doesn't it.

2 Tim 2:2 "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others."

Seems like once again, things are dependent on the spoken word, doesn't it.

2 Thess. 2:15 "So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter."

How much more plainly could it possibly be stated that both the written Word (Bible) AND the spoken Word (Sacred Tradition) are both necessary.

"As I said I will stick with the Bible you can stay with man's traditions if you like.

Ah, but these are not MAN's traditions--they are those established by God.

And unfortunately, as shown above, you are the one not "sticking with the Bible".

"I would prefer not discuss this subject with you any further."

My, what an open-minded attitude. I guess you aren't interested in finding out what God's truth actually is.

I think it's you that is not interested in
finding out what God's Truth actually is.
BUT I have "discussed" these things with enough
Catholics here and in real life to know
this is an effort in futility.
You are not going to convert me
and I am not going to convert you.
So have a good day.
