What does the Bible say "ignorant and unstable people" do to Scripture?

2Peter 3:16 As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Good point. Everyone should study the Scriptures, but don't jump to conclusions or they can lead to your destruction. I wasn't trying to imply that people should ignore all theologians, and only follow BK Bible Hounds.

My point is more along the lines that the truth is in the Scriptures. Just because someone (Catholic or Protestant) recieved many theology degrees and is high up in a Church, doesn't make their ideas override the truth of the Scripture.

That's why whenever I try to make a point, I post my Bible support. If my point is wrong, that's fine, but at least I'm putting the truth out there for the Holy Spirit to possibly use on some lurkers. In other words, don't trust me, trust the Word.

Sincerely

Absolutely. And Catholics would agree with you there.

There's a story that one of our greatest theologians, St. Thomas Aquinas, had a particular mystical experience of God toward the end of his life, and when he "recovered," he sighed and remarked that all of his life's work was only "straw".
