Well, that would be all well and good, except that the Church does *not* use those interpolations as evidence for the teachings of the Church, but for other purposes.
I know that some Protestants, for they have told me so, take Christ’s words to His mother at the wedding of Cana to be a put-down of her because He calls her “woman.” They then use this against Catholic teachings about the importance of Mary, the Mother of God, despite the fact that He clearly obeyed her afterwards! This to me is a more egregious example of what you are describing than anything you mention in this article (which is the only one of the two which I have read).
Just remember that there are more kinds of literature in religious writings than the purely literal.
First time I saw it.
LOL....Has your doctrine changed in the last few years...
That sure sounds like global warming. “They” already know it’s true so they create evidence to show it, even if they have to fudge....a bit.
Galatians 49 AD
We discuss it all the time along with the rest of the Word written a long, long, long time ago.
What difference does it matter when an article is written? What are catholics afraid of?
Dogma has not changed. If you believe the lamestream media, the you would believe that doctrine has changed. I don’t think so.
After all, the ultimate source of authority came from Jesus, himself, in giving it to the apostles.
And yet, we see catholics adding to the Word in their narratives words that were not recorded in the Gospels.....why??
Gospel Mt 28:16-20
The eleven disciples went to Galilee,
to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.
When they all saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.
Then Jesus approached and said to them,
"All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
Luther added to and subtracted from the Bible. That is not a trait of Catholicism.
The true Bible (Catholic one) has the deuterocanonical books in it which the KJV doesn’t have.
What did he add and take away?
The catholic insistence on the apocrypha flies against the historical collection of both the old and new testament canons.
catholics, like Mormons, have created another book they hold if not on par with the Word, pretty close in the CCC.
In the CCC we find many unbiblical topics and teachings. Also the well know reliance upon "tradition" by roman catholics adds many false teachings to Christianity.
So who's adding and taking away from the Word??
There’s one particular Proddie poster who does that all the time right here on this forum. (I can post links if you like.) It’s not a Catholic distinctive.
What does that mean? The OT deuterocanon has nothing to do with the NT canon, except that the same councils which taught the NT canon taught that the deuterocanonical books were part of the OT.
Accepting the same rules the Jews promulgated (based on what authority, BTW?) to rule out the OT deuterocanonical books makes every book in the NT canon non-canonical.
Where's his evidence that ANY of these fictional musings by various people are dogma, or even inform dogma in any way. There isn't any. Talk about making truth up out of nothing; Tim Kauffman is an expert.
And yet....
