Nic posted Scripture. What is 'not the truth' about Scripture? It's inspired by God. It is the truth. Wishing or hoping it is not the truth, does not in any way make it an untruth. Sorry, mom - but nicmarlo is right.

To elaborate further on my previous post to you which stated,

“Scripture is inspired...

Individual persons interpretations of Scripture is not...”

I would assume that within the Catholic Church, transubstantiation, and the Scriptures used to support that view are considered inspired....however, within many other non-Catholic Christian churches, the scriptures used to show that transubstantiation is false, are also considered inspired...so, you tell me, both churches relying on inspired Scriptures, come to two completely different conclusions, regarding transubstantiation, and these two views are completely at odds with each other...so you tell, me, which view is correct?....both groups use inspired Scripture, but both groups come to completely different conclusions...

So tho the Scripture is indeed sacred and inspired, mans interpretation of those sacred Scriptures is not inspired... its mans attempt to interpret and study and come to an understanding of what the Bible is saying...

There is a thread running right now on FR, regarding this very subject of transubstantiation...this is just one subject among many where different churches vary completely...who is going to be the one, to say, that your view and your interpretation is the only possibility?...does anyone posting here claim to be so infallible?...

So, tho Scripture is inspired, individual churches and individual persons interpretations of those Scriptures is not inspired, but of course, if someone here thinks that they are more inspired than the rest of us, I am sure they can speak up, and be made known, and inform the rest of us of their authority and infallibility...
