There are millions of Christians who study the bible that will disagree with you...Do you prayerfully study the bible, or do you rely on what your church tells you the bible says and means??? How many Catholics actually STUDY the bible as opposed to those who just repeat what they hear from their church???
whereas all Catholic dogma can.
If you've been following the thread, you have seen where it was pointed out that some of things your church call dogma have been shown to add words or take words away from the scripture to prove your church's dogma...That makes some of your dogma unbiblical...
One of your famous church fathers, Origen, along about 350 A.D. or so, determined that a good share of the scripture, especially Revelation was not to be taken literally...And what was this determination based on??? I'd say it was too incriminating for your church to accept it the way it is...
Many if not most of your church fathers prior to Origen believed the scriptures to be literal...
The main theme of the bible from one cover to the next is God's government - the Kingdom...You have thrown out the keys to the Kingdom and made your church the Kingdom...
I'd suggest you spend more time listening to people that study the bible and rightly divide it and far less time listening to the people that tell you otherwise...Your eternity depends on it...
In other words, our salvation depends on accepting the fallible interpretations of men. Not men like the Pope, but men like you.
Thanks for admitting that this isn't about "the Bible versus the Pope," but about "Iscool versus the Pope". It always ends up being that way.
