The Roman Catholic apologist must think Scripture is very intimidating. So much so that it is darn near impossible to understand it.

But, they would be wrong.

Children understand the Gospel. Where does that leave adults who deny God's word? When Scripture tells us there is only one mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus, and the Roman Catholic apologist says Mary is a mediator, too, who are we to believe?

Ask a child who reads the Bible. They probably know the answer.

"And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." -- 2 timothy 3:15-17

In the pews of an Orthodox Calvinist church.

Scripture is "easy"??

Really??

Then what's this I read in 2Peter, 3: 15-17??

And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you: As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.

Could that be Peter saying that certain things in Paul's letters are hard to understand?? Nooooo.........say it aint so.........LOL!!

But wait...........there's more!! What's this in 2Peter 1: 19-20??

And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation.

What?? No prophecy of Scripture is made by .........*gasp*.......private interpretation!!

Oh Doc.............you need to pay more attention to the Scriptures. They're the Word of God. I hate it when you guys just ignore Scripture!
