This is the kind of sophomoric stuff that those not properly schooled in this subject ventures onto. By your definition, no one needs to be “taught” we can all look at scripture and intepret it for ourselves without guidance just like David Koresh did, or the Mormons do, or Rev. Wright does. And of the course all the the great theologians from St. Ambrose, St. Catherine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and the early Church fathers all got it wrong. Each one can teach himself. Each one is a “religion” unto himself. And yet you admit that there were many things things that Christ said and did that were not recorded but were handed down as part of the apostolic tradition. But no worries, you don’t need to hear all of it because for you “all” of it was written down. No need for One Church, no need for One Truth, No need for one Interpretation. Everyone gets to interpet his/her own way. Wow!
Not properly schooled??? What kind of schooling is required to reject the simple words of the scriptures???
I'm a firm believer in Sunday School...I read commentaries...I listen to a great deal of preaching...I read a lot of your Catholic propaganda...How much schooling is required for you???

They got some right...But not nearly enough to teach someone how to get into the Body of Christ...
And yet you admit that there were many things things that Christ said and did that were not recorded but were handed down as part of the apostolic tradition.
I never said that...Why are you making things up???
But no worries, you don't need to hear all of it because for you "all" of it was written down.
For Christians, 'all' of it was written down that is necessary for our Salvation...That's what the apostle John said...You don't believe the apostle John, eh???
No need for One Church,
There is one church...But there is no One Church...
no need for One Truth,
The only One Truth is Jesus...It is NOT your Catholic religion...And Jesus and the apostles and disciples spoke and wrote many truths...
No need for one Interpretation.
Jesus says nobody gets to make an interpretation...That includes your religion...Understanding the scriptures has to do with believing, not interpreting...
Everyone gets to interpet his/her own way. Wow!
You don't spend much time learning the words that God preserved for his church, do you???
“But no worries, you don’t need to hear all of it because for you “all” of it was written down”
Iscool never said that. He said that everything that was necessary for our salvation was written down. Do you dispute that? Is there some secret formula for salvation which isn’t included in the New Testament that the Catholic church has kept to itself all these years? Or do you believe that the Gospel of Christ is sufficient to show us the way?
