church doctrine is not the same as the behavior of humans representing the church.
and church doctrine cannot always be found in scripture quotes.
and quoting bible passages rarely replaces intellengent discussion.
God gave us a brain and expects us to use it.
I might say that too if the Scripture quoted served to obliterate my point. LOL
Of course, I'd probably also correctly spell intelligent.
Now you’re the one trying to change the subject. I’m quite aware that Church doctrine can’t be found in Scripture. However, Scripture can be quite useful in these discussions. But to get back to the original topic — since you have displayed a contempt for the way that generations upon generations of your Catholic forebearers offered, it’s often the case that such people dissent from church doctrines. Outside of the “behavior of humans representing the church,” do you disagree with any of the Church’s teachings?
