No, I don’t know it all and I am curious as to why adults just blindly accept what was told to them as children and don’t do some personal study when they are older.

I can understand and respect children who accept on faith what those adults in authority told them to believe and why. I can’t understand adults who, when shown obvious contradictions between their beliefs and what they believe to be the Word of God, they take their beliefs (that they got when they were younger) over the Word of God.

Either the Bible is the Word of God, which would mean it is accurate, consistant, and not full of confusion, or it is just a partial construct, put togather by flawed mortal men with biases. IF the Bible is just a partial construct filled with biases, then how can you put ANY faith in the oral traditions of similar men born hundreds of years AFTER Christ? It makes no sense to me.

I was born to a Jewish mother and a non-Christian father. I became Catholic in my 30s.

So far, I haven’t seen any contradictions in my Catholic beliefs. I do not regard protestant anti-Catholic sola scriptura propaganda as proof of anything, as protestants disagree among themselves so often and flagrantly as to be laughable, not worth bothering wit.
