"By what authority do you oppose the scriptures???"

Catholics do not oppose Scripture. We simply do not accept that all of the revealed Word is contained within Scripture and therefore do not have to artificially inflate, conflate, stretch, misinterpret and distort their meanings in a vain attempt to make them accomplish what they were never intended to do.

What is the measurement that you use to distinguish false revelation from true revelation?

How do YOU know with CERTAINTY that the words or traditions of men are true and not from the deceiver? or do you care??

Jesus warned about this

Mat 24:11 — And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Peter worried about this

2Pe 2:1 — But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

1Jo 4:1 — Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

How do YOU test the spirits?
