Yes, you have to read the New Testament — which is what is done each day in Church at mass.And, of course, you put your own YOPIOS on my text, which was a false one "bible read in it's entirety at mass each day" to think that we read the entire Bible instead of my text which clearly points out we read from the various books of the Bible (OT, Epistles, Gospels) in their entirety rather than in excerpts. Just like the errors you make in scripture, these all derive from reading and misinterpretation.
All clear so far? We read from the New Testament each day in mass -- if you are an ex-Catholic, you would know this
And, unlike some of your groupings, we read the NT, OT in their entirety
We read The Bible in it's entirety, not excerpts
— we read the Gospels, the Epistles, Revelation, we read psalms, the Pentateuch etc. all in mass
If you are an ex-Catholic and / or have ever attended Sunday mass, you will hear the singing of psalms, the readings from the Old Testament, the New Testament (Epistles, Revelation etc) and the Gospel. we read all of these during mass -- from the entire Bible, not excerpts, not focusing just on the epistles, but showing how the OT points to the Gospels and the Epistles point BACK to the Gospels, since the Gospels are the CRUX of the NT
—> we, Christ’s Church, the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church ARE the New Testament Church. This is evidenced in the reading of Acts, in the writings of First Century Christians (Didache, +Ireneus etc).
This is plainly obvious to anyone reading Early Christian text that the practises of the Early Christians, from the mass with the Eucharist to the apostolic succession etc. is the basis of Church tradition -- not only of the Catholic churches but also of our Oriental and Assyrian brethern who have been separated from us for centuries, a lot of the time by distance and hostile nations.
No, Cronos - as I have demonstrated to you twice before, using only Catholic lectionary statistics - you are hearing just 27.5% of the text at best in mass after three years' of unbroken daily attendance. May I assume that you, yourself, are attending mass faithfully on a daily basis? Exemplary behavior, to be sure. And hearing the Bible that frequently in church is never a bad thing.
But do the math, using your own lectionary. The daily mass contains less than 3/4 of the NT, and less than 1/4 of the OT, which are a far cry from the "Bible in its entirety" - not even close. The amount that you've been led to believe is "the Bible in its entirety" is really only slightly more than one-quarter of the whole text. If you're relying solely on the mass to give it to you, there's a whole lot of the Bible that you've never read.
You don't have to take my word for it. Get an inexpensive Bible and a highlighter, and mark the text as it's read in mass each day. At the end of three years (when the cycle ends), look at how many unmarked chapters are left.
This is not factual. It is without truth. It is fiction.
You could attend Mass 7 days a week for 10 years and still not read, or have read to you, the entire Bible.
