Faith did NOT replace charity in Ephesians 3:17. Nor is agapé ever translated charity. So it would appear that it’s you who has changed the wording of that verse.

You know? You're right. I totally misunderstood and didn't fully comprehended what was being said.

Sola scriptura can be scary sometimes.

Not scary at all if you don’t fear Scripture and not a fraction as scary as depending on tradition and a church to tell you what it means instead of looking it up yourself.

(your sarcasm was duly noted)

I’m sure to Catholics it is. Appealing to scripture which we all agree is the assuredly infallible words of God as opposed to trusting on the supposedly passed down words of fallible man isn’t scary to me.

We have all heard of or experienced the game people play when they pass a story from person to person and see how long before that story doesn’t even resemble the story first told. We laugh at how different the story is after it has passed through several tellings of it. Yet that’s what Catholics trust for their very eternal lives. In every court room it is considered hearsay if it’s second hand information and considered unreliable. Yet Catholics trust in hearsay with their very soul. Yet they call trusting solely in the infallible words of God’s scary.
