Much of the dogma of the Catholic Church has not Biblical basis

That's a silly comment. Why would the Catholic Church canonize a Bible that contradicts it's own dogma? Don't you think they would at least omit those books that do not fit their view, as Luther did when he omitted the deuterocanonicals and considered omitting James? Doesn't make any sense, because it's just not true.

Not silly at all...And there are two answers to that question...

That's God's book...It doesn't belong to your religion...If you took out the parts that condemned your church, your bible would be about the size of a comic book...A small comic book...

So your religion added to it to make it look like theirs...

And then your religion burned as many scriptures as they could get their hands on hoping to destroy the faith of millions....

But God honored His word...He preserved His word in your religion and outside of your religion thru all those Christians your church labeled as heretics while burning them at the stake...

Your church made the scriptures unavailable to the general public for centuries...They were afraid people would find out what's in the scriptures...

I read that even priests were prohibited and definitely discouraged from reading the scriptures...

But they couldn't get away with it forever...And they didn't...And look what happened when those scriptures got into the hands of the people...Millions upon millions of people turned to Jesus, side-stepping your popes and religion...

What do I care what you say? According to your own words, I cannot be saved because I do not belong to the right group (the Catholic Church headed by the Pope or one of the Patriarchs), and I do not perform the proper works (namely, communion).

That you have so twisted Scripture to reach these conclusions means there IS no point in even talking this over. You don’t even understand that your own Catechism teaches the fallible nature of the Church; if you cannot accept what your own Catechism states, then there is no use.

I pray that some day your eyes will be opened and you will realize the idolatry active in your life.
