I am not questioning its authority or integrity, just its eternal existence.
To constantly be changing the word of God, breathed out and inspired by Himself in exchange for the opinions of mere men is a sure path on the road to deception and destruction.
Surely the error of Protestants who mistake there own private interpretations of the Bible for the word of God itself.
There is no hope for any Catholic until and unless they acknowledge the inherent authority and truthfulness of the word of God as spoken through the prophets, Jesus, and the disciples.
Not to worry. Catholics do indeed accept the authority of the Scriptures. We just differ with your interpretation of it.
Are you kidding?? Numerous examples have been posted that shows the popes, priests, individual catholics have their own "interpretation" of Scripture.

Are catholics that delusional to believe that every Sunday, every priest, I mean every priest, is giving the exact same message every week??
The catholic charge against non-catholics makeing their own interpretation of Scripture is the height of narcissim.
Are the words contained in what we call the Bible eternal or not?
Pet, you are correct. Rightly dividing the Word of Truth. Therein lies the rub. I was a catholic myself, until some people were able to knock some sense into me, but they did not do it so much with words, as they did with their lifestyle. I realized they were vastly different from me, and I wanted to know why. I thought they were just a bunch of religious fanatics, and I hated them for that, but gradually I began to see things in a different light. After all is said and done, after all the word games have been played, after all the philosophical arguments have been made, I don't care for any of it. The only thing I want to know, is what is the plan of salvation. Nothing else really matters.
