I do not think it could be any clearer than this. The Church is telling Catholics "Read your Bibles."

Catholic Bible Ping!

[svcw]

I am not Catholic.
To the headline: I do not even understand the question.
I have in my family Nuns and Priests and they are all Biblical centered.

that they have the Word of God,
that we received it from them,
and that without them
we should have no knowledge of it at all."

I think the author is trying to get to those Catholics who might have a Bible on their coffee table, but have never picked it up to read it.

[Tax-chick]

Tried to post but connection went zot. Agree with authot.

[svcw]

Well, that makes sense.
We all should pick up a Bible now and then.
Check that - everyday.

I am overwhelmed with the hearsay in the bible. Most of it was written 40 to 140 years after the resurrection. The term hearsay is a statement made by a third party not available in the trial, taken for the truth of what was said out of court. The reason for this is there is no way to cross examine what was said and is painfully unreliable . It is simply no evidence and not permitted in any civilized courts. http://antinomianism-salvation.blogspot.com/p/the-bibledespite-contridictionserrors.html

[svcw]

Ok.
I actually do not know your point here.
Third parties were eye witnesses.
Are you saying that Jesus was not The Son of God and was not The Savior?
Sorry, I really do not understand your point.

[Salvation]

I think you might be wrong on the dates here.

The Old Testament was written from the oral tradition that had been handed down generation to generation while the Israelites were in exile — at least most of it was.

The dates of the New Testament writings go anywhere from around 30 to 40 years after Christ died till 90 years after Christ died.

Look up any Bible (Catholic) online and you will see the approximate authorship dates in the introduction of each book of the Bible.

Every day, the Mass centers on the Gospel with the Liturgy of the Word. Every day, the Word of God is proclaimed from Catholic pulpits.

Thanks, FRiend.

Ok, nice - relief its not me.

The Catholic Mass is totally Bible centred
... What many Evangelicals don’t know is that each Catholic Mass has four Bible readings in it,
///
very true. ...there are many misunderstandings and false beliefs about Catholics.
(and often, sadly, much pure venom!)
...i like how this article tries to bring us closer through the Bible we share.

[chesley]

I have a disagreement with the statement that a commentary is an “authority”. A commentary is an opinion. One that I am free to accept or reject as much of as the Holy Spirit, and my own intellect, lead me to.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

“What many Evangelicals do not know is that no mainstream Evangelical denomination agrees with the writings of ...”

Hey, they recovered the Gospel. This led to the freedom to reexamine all of Scripture and examine those other issues. I’m thankful they did.
