“Let’s not be snippy about snippets! After-all your own reply was snippet-like.
Your posting was a snippet of the Catechism, much like many Protestant justifications for theology from Scriptures, and just about as valid. I posted enough of the surrounding Catechism to put it into context. Remember that it is possible justify all first millennium heresies from Scripture (although not the Calvinist heresies and the resulting derivatives).
Such is not taught in the Scriptures.
Many things are not taught in the Scriptures but the Protestant pantheon variously will believe in them - such as the Trinity, transubstantiation, the mission of St. Thomas the Unbeliever to India, and also various falsehoods such as the existence of full siblings of Jesus, the journeys of Jesus and Joseph of Arimathea to Britain, and so on”
I can’t do it as well as the original but I’ll try:
Welll EXCUUUUUSSSSEEEE ME!!!!!
I will continue to get my theology from the Scriptures, it being ‘sharper than two edged sword’ and what others do is their affair.
I’m beginning to like this word, “snippets” so I’ll use it more with you. SNIPPETS YES!

Not up to me.

Every major heresy has been justified from Scripture. Even the devil can quote Scripture for his own purposes. The bulk of the Faith predates the choosing of the NT Scripture, including such beliefs as the Trinity. When one reads the Scriptures without the guidance of the Institution that Jesus created and the Holy Spirit commissioned, why then, one is free to create all manner of incorrect beliefs. And lo, witness, they have. There is the Faith and then there is every other belief.
