I missed one verse, so sue me. Your definition of Church is quite different from Paul's. And as I said, we are through talking. Good day.

Sue you?

How about admitting you made an error about Scripture... just once.

You just accused me on not knowing Scripture - I am not the one who claims that which IS in Scripture isn't there. I have, repeatedly caught you making similar errors and there is no admission on your part that you have made an error.

Try a little humility, brother

You didn't just "miss one verse." You claimed that verse was NOT in the Bible. You have made similar claims all the while professing you are guided by the Holy Spirit.

Explain to me how one guided by the Holy Spirit can claim that which IS in the Bible is NOT in the Bible when your ENTIRE arguement is premised upon sola scriptura and you being personally guided by the Holy Spirit.

You wrote in 2847:

"Your lack of knowledge about Scripture and its contents would astound me if you weren't a Catholic. This is not necessarily a slam against Catholics by the way, for my own denomination suffers the same issue amongst the laity. But, it has been my experience with the Catholics I know that they can quote the Catechism or some Marian doctrine but not Scripture. To familiarize yourself with it, first, the church is not called the "pillar and ground of the truth" in Scripture. Scripture gives itself you the answer - but you are too bound by tradition and the shackles of your mind to search it out for yourself. I have posted numerous verses on this thread detailing the role of Scripture in the life of the believer. You can not post a single verse showing that the Church is the ultimate authority in all things."

When bornacatholic pointed out that the Scripture does in fact teach that the Church is the "pillar and ground of the truth", you replied,

I missed one verse, so sue me.

Wow. Be careful not to let winning a debate become more important than acquiring truth. You insult Catholics for their ignorance of Scripture, and then when bornacatholic points out a serious deficiency in your own knowledge of Scripture, you just dismiss it without any humility or gratitude or acknowledgment of the log in your own eye. We will all be better off if we are willing to learn from each other, and laugh at our own mistakes.
