>>"Does the Bible say it's ok to own a car?... See how ridiculous the argument is? "<<
Exactly. You got it. Thinkin' like a Catholic now!
I think you miss the point of my example. It's not a compliment to catholicism.
Driving a car is not, in itself, a question of faith and morals, and can’t be either prohibited or mandated in terms of how you live your faith life.
However, questions such as the ones I listed above ARE questions related to faith and morals: questions of right and wrong, questions of true and false, questions on the practice of the Faith and the discipline of the Church. But they are not settled -— nor, for the most part, even addressed -— in the Bible.
But they can be answered with authority, because they are dealt with via Sacred Tradition and via the Magisterium (teaching authority) of the Church herself -—an authority conferred on Her by Christ Himself.
