Are you ready to admit now that you believe the Church trumps the scripture? It's OK, go ahead. We know.
go ahead. We know.
I don't think it's all THAT OK. But we certainly know! LOL.
In this little diagram Blogger and I are arguing about, we talk about what proceeded from what. The Church wrote the New Testament and explained the Old. She did not find the scripture in the glove compartment and say "I got the instructions, let's fire this thing up". If you want to know if the Church can teach in material contradiction of the scriptures, of course not. She would be contradicting herself. Could she teach in contraduiction of what various communities outside of the Church believe the scripture says, sure. Why not?
