Well, y’all only think in catholic terms and can not post verses to back up your beliefs. I am thankful to be SB although I have attended many churches in my 70 years. Mostly when I was a kid. One of my dad’s brothers was a Nazarene minister but he died years before I was born. A cousin of my mom’s was a Church of God of Prophecy minister. All of my older relatives were Christians who really knew the Bible. Most of my generation are Southern Baptists with a few Methodists tossed in. My last aunt died today. She was the last of that generation. She will be missed. It is no fun being the “old” generation and there are only a few of us left.
I hear what you’re saying and I do understand your point. But you’re actually wrong about the Catholic Church not having anything to “back up”our beliefs. Everything the Church believes is supported by either Scripture or Catholic Tradition. Protestants reject the inclusion of Catholic Tradition, of course, which is their prerogative.
You should know, however, that Atheists make a similar arguments against all religion.They, too, say there’s “nothing to back it up” because they choose not to believe in the Bible or Catholic Tradition. But again, that’s their choice.
