That is quite good, except that I would take exception to the identification of 'true works of the Apostles'. We know of many changes during the first 400 years and that some Scripture wasn't written until AD 150 or so. It was what the Church harmonized Scripture into being. Don't forget that the baptismal formula in Matthew was changed to Trinitarian.

Just another example, thank you, of the low esteem some Roman Catholics have for the Holy Bible. You have NO proof for your contentions that call into question the reliability of the Scriptures. NONE. The Roman Catholic Church has NO claim to being the "harmonizers" of Scripture nor can they hold the "infallible" right to the interpretation of Scripture or the copyright to the name Christian. In fact, those who think as you only do so to impose the traditions of the Catholic Church above the authority that is inherent in the Scriptures. That motivation, alone, is cause to distrust anything that is said concerning God's truths.

To the contrary, I think that I have demonstrated that I consider Scripture very highly. It is the practitioners of YOPIOS that I take lightly.

You have NO proof for your contentions that call into question the reliability of the Scriptures. NONE.

The various proofs of Scriptural changes have been paraded around here since before I joined up. Let's put it this way: you are sola; how can you prove that Scriptures as they are are correct? Show me the proofs for each book and the content thereof. You cannot. I believe in Scripture with a very strong belief. If you claim to 'know', then if I show any falsity to that 'knowledge', then your Christianity collapses completely.

The Roman Catholic Church has NO claim to being the "harmonizers" of Scripture nor can they hold the "infallible" right to the interpretation of Scripture or the copyright to the name Christian.

It doesn't, to either claim.

In fact, those who think as you only do so to impose the traditions of the Catholic Church above the authority that is inherent in the Scriptures. That motivation, alone, is cause to distrust anything that is said concerning God's truths.

You point out here, what I have pointed out for many years. There is an authority above Scripture - far above. That authority is Jesus the Christ. It is not the god that many Protestants see in the mirror.
