“You familiarize people with the Gospels and then tell them not to accept anything but the Gospels that get them in the way of their faith.”
Well, I wouldn’t quite put it that way. Protestants are free to accept anything, as long as it doesn’t conflict with the Gospel.
“Thus, you bring people into the faith that we have put forth. If you were to take a Q’uran, you would put people under muhammed. But here - you use a book you did not write, from a faith you consider the enemy and convert people to it!”
You also use a book that neither you nor your church wrote, my friend. It was written by God. The continual claims to the contrary by Catholics smack of excessive pride and boasting. How many times did the Apostles take credit for works they may have participated in, instead of giving the greater glory to God? I can’t think of a single instance from Scripture, can you?
Also, I don’t consider Catholicism, or Catholics to be “the enemy”. I believe they are mistaken on some points, but that doesn’t make them my enemy.
It was somewhat tongue in cheek. :)
I don’t consider you the enemy either. The post was in earnest though, and I hope you consider the point.
The protestants didn’t create the bible - the bible came first. Arguing you should change something you didn’t make is not really a very good argument.
