You can read minds, eh?
Well, you are wrong because when I was a Catholic, I did believe all the nonsense they taught me.
Then I met Christ and was born again and given spiritual eyes to see and read the Bible, and found out just how much they were teaching that wasn’t in Scripture.
That’s when I left the Catholic church.
And thanks for reinforcing my observation, that it’s beyond the comprehension of some Catholics that anyone could leave the church for legitimate reasons, like errors in theology.
“like errors in theology”
For not following their own theology. Good one. I needed a good laugh this morning. You alway give me one.
So you always thought the eucharist was “nonsense”. That is exactly what I told you was the reason you left and you admitted it. Thanks.
“...just how much they were teaching that wasn’t in Scripture...” “errors in theology.”
Catholicism is entirely correct in NOT limiting its teaching to Scripture alone.
Scripture was always meant to be in addition to Tradition, especially the Tradition of the Eucharist, which has always been the proper way for the actual Christian Worship of Jesus, in His words, found in John 6.
Worship without the Eucharist is dead. Reading a book is not worship.
The very first early Christian martyrs were Catholic and ALWAYS celebrated the Eucharist. There is written historical proof of this.
For example: The early martyr St. Ignatius wrote in his letter to the Church at Smyrna on his way to be martyred specifically referring to the Eucharist:
“...they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ...Shun division as the beginning of evil.”
This was written in around 80 A.D. and St. Ignatius was clearly a true Christian since he was martyred for his Catholic beliefs.
Sola Scriptura is not biblical. All scripture is beneficial, sure, but not only scripture.
The bible does not definitively state that Sacred Tradition ceased and that it alone now is authoritative and reading is the correct way to worship.
Martin Luther himself retained the Tradition of the Eucharist - it was later protestants who denied it.
