Yes it did. I said the Church is the pillar and ground of the truth, whether it is written or not. Then you flail around about God being omniscient.

This may be too much for some to follow.. but the implication that paul was speaking of the scriptures when He spoke of the church holding up the truth was met with the comment by a catholic ..you I believe, that the entire word was not yet written..I pointed out God KNEW his word.. Not all that complicated .. Paul could say that with confidence because He spoke through the Holy Spirit

you want to imply a continuing revelation through the pope You have no idea what I want. A comment like that is making it personal.

Fair enough, I often use "you" in a general sense.. .so I will say that the catholic church believes in a continuing revelation that is no where hinted at in scripture,

Could you show us the official vatican commentary on this scripture? (for comparison purposes??)
Calvinists may consider a commentary by A. R. FAUSSET to be Scripture but I'm sure the "Vatican" does not.

Actually we do not have an "official" commentary.but we do not claim that men are unable to properly interpret scripture themselves.. as does the catholic church.. so where is that link that catholics have to use for CORRECT catholic interpretation of the bible .the church does have one right? ...Or are all the priests and lay teachers giving TOPIS ???

There was no implication that St. Paul was speaking of only the Scriptures when he spoke of the Church as the pillar and bulwark of the truth. That's your imagination at work. My comment about the word of God not being written was: the "Church is the pillar and bulwark of the truth, whether written or not". If you want to spin that off as me implying that God is not ominiscient, then have fun.

Scripture says the "Church is the pillar and bulwark of the truth". Not the Church is the pillar and bulwark of scripture only.

the catholic church believes in a continuing revelation that is no where hinted at in scripture

You demonstrate once again your lack of knowledge in what the Church believes.

we do not claim that men are unable to properly interpret scripture themselves.. as does the catholic church

You come up short once again on what the Church teaches.

so where is that link that catholics have to use for CORRECT catholic interpretation of the bible

You ask once again, so I'll tell you once again. The Church does not have an official interpretation of each verse of Scripture. Can you understand that?

Or are all the priests and lay teachers giving TOPIS ???

It's funny that you make a comment like that when that is exactly what Protestantism is all about.
