I hope you are not arguing against reading and interpreting the Scriptures as believers are instructed to do?

Acts 17:11

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

This is an OBVIOUS mistranslation!

The CHURCH teaches that...

Now CATHOLICS are of more noble character than those DAMNED Protestants, for they received the CHURCH's message with great eagerness and prayed the rosary every day, because they are convinced that the CHURCH would NEVER teach stuff that is wrong.

[daniel1212]

Now CATHOLICS are of more noble character than those DAMNED Protestants, for they received the CHURCH's message with great eagerness and prayed the rosary every day, because they are convinced that the CHURCH would NEVER teach stuff that is wrong.

They have been convinced using their own fallible human reasoning that Rome is the one true infallible church, and thus the only means for assurance of Truth, and thus being convinced of something by the prayerful use of one's own fallible human reasoning (examining the evidences), and to ascertain the veracity of RC teachings, is to be condemned.

Very convincing.
