Nice try. Slight of hand and obfuscation works with many. There is a fundamental problem however with the Catholic Church. They disagree with scripture. For instance: Matthew 2:2 "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? When has Jesus been “king of the Jews” according to the CC? Doesn’t the CC believe that the Jews are no longer God’s chosen people?

If the Catholic Church brought us the Bible claim it was only they who are responsible why do they not clarify? Then there are those Catholics that claim scripture contains errors. Why would the CC perpetuate a collection of books that contain errors?

The Jews were and still are, in my opinion, the chosen people. At this point in time, though, the Gentiles have outnumbered them to a great extent.

The “King of the Jews (I.N.R.I,( Jesus of Nazareth, King of Jews is biblical. Written in Hebrew, Greek and Latin.....hope I’m right there.

Remember, in one of the Gospel readings someone objects to that moniker by saying “He says he is the King of the Jews.)

The RC stance on this is so full of contraditions. Just like when I decided to debate that, during the ‘Temple Alone’ incident, Mary and Joseph were so occupied with possibly as many as four brothers and two sisters (Mark 6:3) of then twelve yr old Jesus, that they traveled all day without noticing him MIA. No other children? And they walk all day without taking a gander of his whereabouts? Where’s DCFS?

The RC defendant I was debating, claimed that Mary and Joseph had no other children, had no need to worry about Jesus, since he was God, and that he would be safe, and probably in the caravan with relatives. No need to worry....but what saith the Word?.....

“And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, they father and I have sought thee sorrowing.” Luke 2:48

‘Sought thee sorrowing’. Sounds like they were not too confident of the child’s safety after all. I believe that the parents were busy handling maybe two or three that were not walking yet, and a couple more that had to be herded along.

The focus of the entire bible is the person Jesus Christ. All of the other people in the scriptures fall into the very distant ‘also mentioned’ category.

(this is probably my only comment on this thread. The big rig awaits me in 7 hrs.)

Lord bless
