zkindly provide me with a link to the rules of YOPIOS "parabolic [sic] interpretation, because I've never heard of them. There were, however, 730,000 sites tjat came up. When I googled "Rules for Parablw inrwepretation" Google came up with 2,3000,000 results, So, I am forced to conclude that nearly each one of the non-Catholics has his/her own rules, and frankly, none of them has any authority either bliblically or personally to me. It seems to me that if you sincetely wanted an honest discussion, you'd show me the rules you demand I adhere to, especially the MAIN rule, The other question raised by your post is this: Where do you see that Christ contradicted anything he said by that parable?
So, how long did it take you to read all 2,300,000 to verify that they indeed did represent 2,300,000 DIFFERENT opinions?
And how were you able to keep them all straight and verify that there were no dupes?
Well you didn’t disappoint.
They have only one rule; Catholics, from Pope to pauper, must not interpret Scripture.
The irony is that every affirmation of Sola Scriptura, and every "show me in Scripture" demand to attempt to refute Catholicism is an appeal to the authority of the Catholic episcopacy that established the Canon and the Magisterium that interpreted the Scripture for the establishment of Christian orthodoxy. They would have us believe that the Church has an on / off switch that only a Protestant knows when and how to activate and then shriek and insult when we can't take them seriously.
