What you say is true, but incomplete. And that is the position in which all non-Catholics find themselves - searching for completeness. The veracity of my claim is found in the myriad congregations of evangelicals and protestants. None can stake a claim on the Truth. Most hold the belief in ‘sola scriptura’, even tho that belief is nowhere to be found in the Bible; the Bible that was compiled by the Catholic Church in first couple of centuries following Jesus’ resurrection and ascension. But surely you are already aware of that.

Another canard, but let me answer by using an argument that Roman Catholics have used -- "Well, the "Trinity" is never named in the Bible either, but it is true, no?"

Sola Scriptura states that all we need to know for salvation is contained in scripture... scriptures that were present in the form of what is now the Old Testament as well as the letters and writings that constitute the New Testament. The Roman Catholic Church compiled those scriptures and then withheld them from those it claimed to serve. The Bible that the Roman Cult abuses and misquotes and misinterprets to the danger of so many that cling to the cult.

As for completeness, that is your opinion; but what you said afterward is more telling: Catholics searching for completeness... as if they (or anyone) can obtain anything resembling completeness. And the saddest part is that Catholics need look no further than the scripture to find completeness in Jesus Christ. It's Christ, and Christ alone that provides completeness and completion. He completed the work of salvation on the cross for those whom the Father calls and who believe by faith alone in Christ.

But sadly, the Catholic Cult doesn't teach that -- it teaches a false gospel - -a gospel of faith AND works. Which isn't in the Bible anywhere, particularly not in the horrendously misinterpreted and falsely taught scriptures in James.

So, I hope, and I pray, that instead of searching for completeness, Catholics start trusting in Christ alone -- putting their faith in Christ alone -- and if they do that, they'll never long for completion ever again.
