“What this thread proves, once again, is the Catholics are all for Scripture. Until it contradicts tradition. Then they are against Scripture.”
~ ~ ~
Catholics follow the Church, her teaching on Scripture not
private judgment as Protestants do. If you follow the
Church, not one verse in Scripture (OT and NT) contradicts
the other.
Until you accept the Church gave the world the Bible, you
will always be contradicting the Truth. Who can stand
this, it’s basic.
Oh really?
John 3:13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.
Pope Pius XII solemnly defined in Munificentissimus Deus on Nov. 1, 1950, that the "Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory."
That looks like a direct contradiction to me.
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
And Catholics think that God commanded the brazen serpent which was a “graven image” but let’s see what happened to that.
2Kings 18:4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
Would Catholics crush the statues of Mary or any of the Saints into dust or have they become idols?
I can find many cases of contradiction with Catholic belief and scripture.
