Sorry...I have no desire to read AGAIN (I was a Catholic, remember?). I know what it says.

Wait...so, if you have such a strong aversion to Catholic teaching, why would I offer you any?

And if you already know what it says, why are you asking me?

Sheeesh.

Why am I asking you? Oh, I don’t know, maybe to see what you thought of the scripture I quoted. You haven’t told me yet. Do you plan to or do you hope to just avoid an answer?

BTW...I have no “strong aversion” to any teaching, thankfully I have the Holy Spirit that illuminates the Word of God to me when I read and study it. That, plus understanding that scripture interprets scripture, I see no real contradictions in God’s word at all. The contradictions come from man-made traditions that ignore scripture and devise their own doctrines and call IT infallible. They scare their own members into accepting the doctrine, or else.

I thank God that I was rescued from that and know the truth. As Jesus says, the truth indeed set me free.

Go ahead and have the last word. I know how fond you are of doing that.
