Sorry, Terycarl, I just don’t think we’ll ever come to a meeting of minds on these things.
I believe in what the Bible says, you believe there is revealed truth outside the Bible, in men’s traditions..
Nevertheless, take care,

for the first two or three hundred years of christianity there was no ‘BIBLE’ as we know it....what did those people do....The Catholic Church was the ONLY source of Christianity and as far as I’m concerned, still is. You have a book about 1 1/2 inches thick and you expct all the truths in the universe are in there.....the bible itself explains that there are not enough pages in the world to describe what Jesus had done while on earth.....why not accept eye witness testimony, objective interpretations and in reality revalations coming about other than those through identified “prophets” remember, Christ promised His church that He would guide it until the end of time...I would interpret that promise as giving the Catholic church the extraordinary gift of being infallible in matters of faith and morals.......for 1500 years all christians were Catholic and lo and behold, along came Martin luther and a whole lot of new interpretations of what the bible really said......the bible warns of false prophets, I think I’ve found a few!!
