What did you find about the citation from the catechism I posted that contradicts Scripture? The catechism itself rests on Scripture and quotes it extensively.
Every Sunday at Mass we have three Scripture readings, plus a sung psalm. And big chunks of the remainder of the Mass are lifted directly from the Bible.
But people who don't go to Mass don't hear those.
How much time do you spend at church reading the Bible? Not listening to someone preach about what they think it means, but actually reading, out loud, from the holy book?
I disagree with you that "the Bible is all they need to know". Every cult in the world reads the Bible, and most of them read it to their own destruction. Scripture must be rightly interpreted and correctly taught.
Yes, but the cultists
are always taught the leader
is the only guy
"qualified" to tell
them what Scripture "really" means.
The point is people
need to look to the
Holy Spirit and their own
hearts, and not any
cult leader or "code"
for the "meaning" of Scripture.
Scripture means itself...
