“That’s what my Catholic Faith is based on. Everything stems from there, and everything in summary returns to it. Not written verbatim in the Bible? Perhaps not. But it is the sum and substance of Scripture. “
If that is the basis for your faith, then you have no need of the Scriptures for any reason. You can just say, “Well, God can do anything!!”
You can claim pizza in your shoe makes you spiritually alive. Others may call that claim into question because God revealed everything we need to know for salvation and Christian maturity. You will simply reply, “God is Almighty and can do anything!”
Actually, there are many things God cannot do, but we’ll save that for another discussion.
And...
If all you have is “God is Almighty and can do anything,” then there is no point discussing anything with you at all that we know about Christ through Scripture, anything about the Church, anything about the future, anything about our faith. You are clearly not interested in that, from your declaration. OK then.
So I agree, there is nothing else that can be discussed spiritually or Biblically with you.
If you do not believe that God is almighty, then, no, we can't discuss. His infinite attributes are non-negotiable.
Look at Scripture as a whole, not word-by-word, and you will see that. The pizza in the shoe remark, ah, it can slide.
Having been an altar boy, and having people close to you who are Catholic doesn't mean you understand what it's all about. It takes time, faith, patience, and yes, we also are eligible for the 7 Gifts, 12 Fruits, and extraordinary Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
It was interesting, and I wish you the best, but if you don't believe God is almighty, perfect, infinite, and more than we can imagine, we really do have nothing to discuss.
P.S. Take a look at Job 38 when you get a chance.
