I'm just at a loss as to why I would take guidance on the New Testament from someone who doesn't believe it.

I'm at a loss as to why a religion would call classify a book as its "scripture" and then insist it contains errors. Maybe you guys should just jettison the Hebrew Bible? That would be better than claiming that G-d can't tell the truth.

The Catholic Church does not do that.

You are conflating non-literal interpretation with a declaration of errors.

The Catholic Church interprets some portions of the Old Testament in non-literal terms. The days in Genesis, for instance, probably represent individual phases of creation rather than literal 24 hour periods.

You do a lot of crowing about how that somehow means the Catholic Church rejects portions of the Old Testament.

Yet I’m pretty sure you reject ALL of the New Testament.

The irony is creamy and delicious, like a fine mousse au chocolat.
