why do you accept the Bible as God’s Word, if not for the Church teaching it? do you think the Bible fell out of the air from heaven? No, Jesus gave His authority to a Church, you just don’t believe it!
Luke 10:16 “He who hears you hears Me, and he who rejects you rejects Me and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me”
Who is Jesus referring to when He says “he who rejects you”?
I didn’t mean to stump you with that question about Jesus’ wheat and darnel illustration. Go ahead and takes whatever amount of time you need and then get back to me. Until then...it was to the seventy disciple sent out that Jesus said what records at Luke 10:16.
Any non-Catholic who accepts Scripture as God’s Word, does so in spite of Catholic teaching, not because of it, just like with everything else.
The Catholic church gets things right once in a while. And just like a blind squirrel finding a nut now and then, it’s sheer coincidence.
