Elsie, you go ahead and dine on the Bible. We catholics will dine on our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Mat_28:6 He is not here: for he is risen

Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit and his Holy Bible to feast on while he is gone...

Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit

He sent His Holy Spirit to lead the Church. According to Scripture, Christ wanted us to be one (John 17:22-23). We are all as a Church to be of one mind and to think the same (Philippians 2:2; Romans 15:5). There is only to be one "faith" (Ephesians 4:3-6), not many. For the Church is Christ's Body and Christ only had one Body, not many.

and his Holy Bible to feast on while he is gone...

Did Jesus Christ write down any part of the New Testament with His own hand? No, He did not. If the Bible was to be the sole authority of the Church, shouldn't the Founder have written down His Own teachings? Shouldn't He have at least stated something similar to the following: "the written works of My disciples will be the authority upon which My Church is based?"

Does the Bible state It is the sole or final authority of Christianity? No. Neither this statement nor anything even close to it appears anywhere in the New Testament. In fact, Christ said that the Church is to resolve disputes among Christians, not Scripture (Matthew 18:17).
