Yes, mountn man, do read that post again. The context is “oral tradition” versus the Word of God. The example I gave in 1 Kings is centuries before the Catholic Church was ever started. The old prophet that lied could not have been a Catholic. Oral tradition, in general, is notoriously subject to error. Whether it be Catholic, Hindu or Southern Methodist. Then multiply centuries of “tweaking” and . . . . no, we cannot give it the same gravitas as Scripture. So, no, I did not call Catholics liars. But merely disagree with their assignment of the import of tradition.
