" ONLY JESUS! It's ALL about JESUS!" Unfortunately, the practice of the Reformation does not match the rhetoric. Were it "ALL ABOUT JESUS" there would be far greater emphasis on the actual words and examples of Jesus instead of the misinterpretation of the words and works of those who came later to merely spread the Good News. Without the letters of Paul the Gospels would still be all that is necessary for Salvation. Without the Gospels, the letters of Paul are empty and meaningless.

Lean not unto your own understanding because it WILL led you off the narrow path.
IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS
Get used to it because you will bow before THE ONLY HOLY ONE someday and you will be judged by HIS WORD for JESUS is The Living Word.
IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS
John 12:48
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not MY WORDS, hath one that judgeth him: THE WORD that I have spoken, the same ( THE WORD) shall judge him in the last day.
We will be judged by only one criterion: God's Word.
You want to tell me, again, how it's not...
ALL ABOUT JESUS
The LIVING WORD
THE WORD MADE FLESH

That's funny coming from a Catholic since Catholicism teaches that tradition supersedes even written Scripture. Where's the stuff about Mary come from then? I don't recall seeing Jesus teach the fables that Catholicism spreads about her.
Why don't Catholics then pray as Jesus instructed- to the Father? Where did Jesus instruct to pray to dead people? His mother? Where are His instructions about holy water?
Peter himself called Paul's writings *Scripture*. Is Peter wrong?

I've heard the writings of John of Patmos should be tossed, too. Thanks to the hard work of so many faithful Catholic FReepers, the Church is down to just three Gospels and a handful of Epistles. Oh, and Tradition.
