I understand why you want to change the subject, since “the Bible alone is the SOLE rule of faith” isn’t in the Bible.

I understand why you want to muddy the water; but your chosen religion has not explained WHY it's TRADITIONS are essential; and that the BIBLE you guys put together is NOT sufficient information to save human souls from the fires of Hell.

I’ve always been curious about the mentality that God’s word is not sufficient when it says it is.

And why if the traditions that the Catholic church adds and added are so critical to salvation, what reason they would give for why the Holy Spirit left them out.

Or if, as the Catholics claim, the Bible is a Catholic document and they wrote it, (*the catholic church gave the world the Bible, say thank you Catholic church*) why they left to so many important things.

And also why, if they could not do an even halfway decent job of including in the Bible things that were so important to know, we should trust them now to fix it?

They proved themselves untrustworthy to do the job adequately in the first place and now we’re supposed to trust them to correctly interpret it and trust their additional revelation that they claim is from God?
