The Catholics can’t prove that today’s “traditions” are the same traditions the apostles were talking about. Yet they want people to join them.

Jesus taught us to trust His Church.

Protestants tell us that the Bible should be the SOLE rule of faith, or the final authority in matters of Christian doctrine.

Yet the Bible does not teach this.

Jesus never teaches this.

How does Jesus recommend that we "make disciples of all the nations"?

Matthew 28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Jesus tells his Apostles to make disciples of all the nations by baptizing and teaching.

And Jesus tells his disciples that he will always be with them.

Jesus gives His Church the Authority to teach. He identifies Himself with His Church, here, and when he asks Saul, "why are you persecuting me?

This is why Christ had harsh words for those who reject his Church. "If he will not listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector."

This is why we can trust Christ's Church.

This is good news! Christ has given us a living Church.

Ironically, this is why Protestants can trust the Bible that Christ's Church wrote, preserved, and canonized.

>>Jesus never teaches this.<<

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Please show the infallible scriptures we should search to see if what the Catholic Church teaches about the assumption of Mary is true.

>>"and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.<<

Please show an infallible source that shows Jesus commanded them to teach the assumption of Mary and the requirement to believe that.

>>And Jesus tells his disciples that he will always be with them.<<

All believers were promised the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to teach them.

>>This is why we can trust Christ's Church.<<

Please show an infallible source that proves the CTholic Church today teaches the same traditions taught by the apostles.
