Shows how the Catholic Church has determined and proclaimed through her infallible rulings just which books are actually part of Sacred Scripture,
Which infallible, thus indisputable canon took over 1400 years after the last book was written.
and how she has preserved and maintained the Bible throughout the centuries.
And often hindered the laity from reading it , while in modern times she has sanctioned Bible scholarship that is clearly liberal in crtical. aspects.
The fact the Bible is made a servant for Rome, out of which she tries to wrest specious support for her Traditions of men, rather than her doctrines being based upon the degree of Scriptural warrant, as being the supreme authority.
Meanwhile, I keep seeing this "we gave you the Bible" polemical statement but never get a clear answer to the question i keep asking regarding the reason/argument behind it:
Are you saying that being the instruments and stewards of Scripture requires or renders them the infallible authority on it, so that which they reject must be rejected?
If they will not answer this then they should stop with the "we gave you the Bible" assertion, as it is meaningless. Salvation was the last one to refuse to answer this, and you can be the first one to do so. Again, without screeds if possible. However, since you affirmed that your basis for assurance is Scripture, as is ours, and which is non-Catholic, then your answer may no reflect RC belief.
I don’t know about everyone else, but God himself gave me the bible. Another thing he gave me is his only son to die for my sins on the cross. How great is that!? I believe in Jesus, and that he is who he says he is. I am saved by faith through his grace, and I don’t even have to worry about confessing to a man in a booth who has zero power to forgive sins.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older and wiser, but the wolves in sheep’s clothing are getting easier to spot.
