I have no argument with either God or Paul.

Yes you do...

I have an argument with those who would elevate the words of a bishop of the Church above the words of God.

None of the apostles were bishops...Just as no bishops have ever been apostles...

You apparently then figure Jesus was done speaking when he ascended to heaven...You also apparently do not beleive that Jesus continued to reveal his plan to and thru the apostle Paul even tho the scriptures tell us otherwise...And that Peter recognized those new revelations as scripture...

It is exemplified in various heresies identified during the first millennium after Christ.

As it turns out, the only heretical religion in the bunch was the one you are affiliated with; the accuser of the brethren...

I'm surprised that Markbsnr is still saying words to the effect that Paul's Holy Spirit inspired Scriptures are somehow inferior to the words of Jesus Christ that the SAME Holy Spirit inspired the Gospel writers to record. It is especially surprising seeing as Natural Law posted the "official" Roman Catholic doctrine about Holy Scripture that state what we are contending, that ALL Scripture has as its author the same Holy Spirit. To refresh your memory, Mark, here is the content of CCC 105:

God is the author of Sacred Scripture. "The divinely revealed realities, which are contained and presented in the text of Sacred Scripture, have been written down under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit."

"For Holy Mother Church, relying on the faith of the apostolic age, accepts as sacred and canonical the books of the Old and the New Testaments, whole and entire, with all their parts, on the grounds that, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they have God as their author, and have been handed on as such to the Church herself.

Can we hope that this is the last time "some" Catholics go against their own Catechism by insisting that "words of a bishop of the Church" should be held as inferior to the words of Jesus Christ? That "bishop", spoke under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and, as such, EVERYTHING he said in those books are EQUAL to the words of Christ because they ARE the words of Christ.

I don’t debate with people who post lies about me.
