Well it's profitable enough for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness...
Jesus didn't give us a single scrap of paper. Nor did He command His disciples to write down and chronicle all His teachings, so let's not assume that "[t]here is no reason in the world that Jesus would or did reveal anything to anyone beyond what is written in the scriptures,"
How many times did Jesus tell people to search the OT scriptures??? Jesus constantly quoted the scriptures because that where His truth is...
Did Jesus quote without a written authority to back him up, like your church does??? Of course He didn't...He knew people would come along and add words to His words, claim private revelation with no means to prove it...
You are ignoring the other passages I added in the last post...
And where do the New Testament Scriptures come from? Why isn't the "Gospel of Peter" included?
Did Jesus quote without a written authority to back him up, like your church does???
Simply untrue. Show me a single Catholic doctrine or dogma that isn't backed by Scripture. Now, you can't claim the IC, or purgatory, or intercession prayer as "unscriptural," because I could show you any number of Scripture passages which support those doctrines, and you'd likely claim that, basically, we're interpreting Scripture incorrectly, which is of course different than saying we don't have the "written authority to back it up."

Because I've played this game with you before, and I don't really have time to go over these points just for you to tell me that I'm interpreting things wrong, and we musnt use logic when interpreting Scripture.
