****There is TRUTH in the Bible (we both believe this).****
Thank you for that:)
Yes, I do believe that the Catholic Church is the guardian of Truth and that the Holy Spirit revealed that truth to me.
When it comes to Scripture it is important to note that the Church does not definitively define every single chapter and verse. It is not unusual for Catholics to have very different understandings of the same verse. What is important is that one’s understanding does not contradict essential doctrine.
I am participating in a Bible class in my parish and it is fascinating to hear what jumps out to different people or what they “get” out of a passage. Anyone who reads the Bible knows that one can read the same verses several times and each time see something new revealed.
Peace to you my friend.
That is why you need Doctors of the Church and Early Church Fathers to get TRUE interpretation of what the Apostles said. Reading the writings of Bishop of Antioch talk about his Travels with Peter is WOW! He was there... it is Like the Guy who Rowed the Boat for george Washington crossing the Delaware telling you what Happened and why he did what he did.. Ciao
