I refuse to answer your questions using the Protestant heretical and unorthodox doctrine of sola scriptura. I answered the question in line with the Catholic Theological framework, i.e. the 3-leged chair approach, the Church as the Body of Christ interpreting the Scriptures in Light of Apostolic Tradition, as recorded and defined in the consensus of the Church Fathers, the Liturgy [Lex Orandi Lex Credendi, Law of Prayer explains the Law of Creed/Belief], the Creeds of the early Church and the COuncils of the Early Church and that Tradition in Light of the Sacred Scriptures.
And for the record, the Eastern Orthodox, while having a different understanding of the Primacy of the Bishop of Rome, have 7 Sacraments [Divine Mysteries] and believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, just as the Catholic Church does.
I have answered what I have answered. And I stand by said answer.
You might want to take a gander at Pope Francis’ new years resolution list. I am trying to be a #7 to advise you of #5.
I was just pointing out the inspired writings of an apostle of Jesus Christ telling a young bishop where he is to anchor the faithful flock on. It is quite clear Paul tells him in 2 Timothy 3 the anchor is God’s Written Word. Just sharing FRiend and taking Pope Francis’ advice (see his list #7)
Correction Pope Francis list numbers #6 and #7.
