How many times must we tell you, if the Roman organization interpreted the Scriptures anywhere near what the texts actually say, someone might listen? Further, if Rome's doctrines would comport with the Scriptures (the ones Rome pretends to have delivered and now claim to dominate), folks may give them the time of day.
But, the additions and abberations by Rome are so many and so gross that real believers rely on the Book for truth just as the Book itself teaches. Tim. Thank God we don't need that monstrosity Rome.
Name two.

Where does the Bible teach inerrancy?
That reads as if you were handling snakes when you wrote it. I feel sad for you because the only bible you have is the one the martyrs of Rome gave you. Of course, since you are Protestant you could take out the hard parts that hold you accountable...again.

Dutchboy. From my casual, occasional perusal of religious threads your comments appear time and again amongst all the others from both sides as the most useless, condescending, insulting, and offering nothing more than bait to cause a flamewar.
The Magisterium just might have a little bit more knowledge about the Bible and its interpretation. Consider almost 2000 years worth.
Second I don't see anyone pointing a gun to your head to force you to post or comment.
You choose to make your responses all on your own. You have no one to blame but yourself when we slap you down.
