But, you see, I’m talking about God’s word. What HE says about the subject. You’re talking about the RCC’s words. What THEY say about the subject. So..what to do...believe God or believe a group of fallible men whose sole job is to tell everyone what God means when He says something. It’s a real conundrum.
Many failed to respond to the excellent point Mark attempted to make on this thread regarding a comparison of the doctrine of the Trinity with the Assumption of Mary and Mariology in general. Everyone pounced on Mark for stating (rightly) that the doctrine of the trinity was implicit in Scripture not explicit, but none saw the point he was trying to make. If we are trinitarian Christians we must all agree that there are valid implicit doctrines found in Scripture. Yet Protestants dog pile on Catholics for other similarly implicit doctrines.
Suffice it to say we will not be swayed in our beliefs by poorly articulated Reformationist "discoveries" so stop trying.
That’s Churchianity not Christianity. If you understand the difference you begin to understand them.
