LOL LOL LOL>>>Thats because the Roman church FORBIDS reading the scriptures UNLESS they interpret it.. fox/henhouse effect... brain washed effect/cult effect
Do you know that there is NO official commentary of the ENTIRE BIBLE written by Rome ..could be there is just no way to harmonize what they teach with most of scripture..
1Cr 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.
Maybe you should read James 2:24 instead of spouting off on your “superior understanding of the Bible.”
“God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
If there were, some would criticize the Church for being too controlling. You can look at the various systematic theologies as taking pieces of truth and expanding them into one big untruth. That's how heresies are.
The Church is big. It's walls are as far out as possible, allowing as much freedom as possible while remaining true to the teachings of Christ to His apostles. She did so over the centuries dealing with heresies and maintaining the universal, catholic, faith.
The Church has taken the truths taught by heresies and rejected the untruth they derived from them. The Church has harmonized these truths into its teaching. Within these walls, the individual is free to let Holy Scripture mean what it means to them individually, over time. Scripture if it is Holy in the true sense, has many meanings. This freedom of interpretation is more freedom than that found in, say, Calvinism.
The official commentary on the Church's Holy Scriptures is found in its councils' decisions, it's dogmas and creeds.
The great majority of Christians, Catholic or not, still hold to the Church's creeds. This, we believe...
