[Invincibly Ignorant]

I don't find New Testament writings to be inspired at all so hence verses bashing Pharisees really doesn't thrill me all that much.

Well, then we don't have a common ground, and it would make no sense then to debate about Christianity/sola scripture. Catholics believe that the New Testament is inspired, so on that common ground we can debate.

The only discussion I can see between us would be on what makes the New Testament inspired. I would say the Holy Spirit makes it inspired. You might say prove it. Then I would say I can't prove it because the Holy Spirit proves Himself, and He comes through faith and faith comes from the Scriptures.

Rom 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Eph 1:13 In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Sincerely

What about the fulfillment of prophecy found in Jesus the Christ?
