On the few times there was a response it was an obfuscation usually around 2 Timothy 3:16. Not once has anyone ever answered the question. I do admit that it is a trick question, though because the answer is not in Scripture.

Amazing..... Criticizing people for a belief because it's not found in Scripture when the Catholic church teaches lots of stuff that's not found in Scripture and when challenged on it their response is basically *Well, just because it's not in Scripture doesn't mean it didn't happen* or *Well, Scripture doesn't SAY it didn't happen so therefore we can claim it did and nobody can prove it didn't.*

The Trinity is not found in Scripture by name. Do you disallow that as well?

The perpetual virginity of Mary and her alleged immaculate conception, and her alleged assumption are also not found in Scripture but the Catholic church teaches them as fact.

The hypocrisy is staggering.

Nope! Only pointing out the hypocrisy of claiming it as the governing principle of Faith, claiming it is in Scripture and then feigning outrage when the error is pointed out. You should be mad at the fathers of the reformation who duped you, not me or the Church for holding fast to the teachings of the Apostles. We are making progress. I believe that this is the first time in the last 10 years that a believer in Sola Scriptura has actually admitted that it is extra-scritural.

Peace be with you

It’s indicative of the complete mind control a cult has.
