It ain't the METHOD of transmission that is important; but the CONTENT of the message.

When Rome can SHOW that the message it preaches today is equal to the teachings we passed on to you; then you might gain some ground with rational folks.

Ever read Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible?

I'm curious as to where THIS is going to lead. ;^)

Not a single quote you list tell us that “everything we need to know is found in Scripture.”

I doubt that you can tell me what is MISSING from the bible that is necessary for salvation.

Too bad the Protestants threw away the Book of Wisdom (Wisdom 2: 12-20).

Why is it TOO BAD?

Let me RESTORE it for you...

Wisdom 2 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

1 For they have said, reasoning with themselves, but not right: The time of our life is short and tedious, and in the end of a man there is no remedy, and no man hath been known to have returned from hell:

²For we are born of nothing, and after this we shall be as if we had not been: for the breath in our nostrils is smoke: and speech a spark to move our heart,

³Which being put out, our body shall be ashes, and our spirit shall be poured abroad as soft air, and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist, which is driven away by the beams of the sun, and overpowered with the heat thereof:

⁴And our name in time shall be forgotten, and no man shall have any remembrance of our works.

⁵For our time is as the passing of a shadow, and there is no going back of our end: for it is fast sealed, and no man returneth.

⁶Come therefore, and let us enjoy the good things that are present, and let us speedily use the creatures as in youth.

⁷Let us fill ourselves with costly wine, and ointments: and let not the flower of the time pass by us.

⁸Let us crown ourselves with roses, before they be withered: let no meadow escape our riot.

⁹Let none of us go without his part in luxury: let us everywhere leave tokens of joy: for this is our portion, and this our lot.

¹⁰Let us oppress the poor just man, and not spare the widow, nor honour the ancient grey hairs of the aged.

¹¹But let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble, is found to be nothing worth.

¹²Let us therefore lie in wait for the just, because he is not for our turn, and he is contrary to our doings, and upbraideth us with transgressions of the law, and divulgeth against us the sins of our way of life.

¹³He boasteth that he hath the knowledge of God, and calleth himself the son of God.

¹⁴He is become a censurer of our thoughts.

¹⁵He is grievous unto us, even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, and his ways are very different.

¹⁶We are esteemed by him as triflers, and he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness, and he preferreth the latter end of the just, and glorieth that he hath God for his father.

¹⁷Let us see then if his words be true, and let us prove what shall happen to him, and we shall know what his end shall be.

¹⁸For if he be the true son of God, he will defend him, and will deliver him from the hands of his enemies.

¹⁹Let us examine him by outrages and tortures, that we may know his meekness and try his patience.

²⁰Let us condemn him to a most shameful death: for there shall be respect had unto him by his words.

²¹These things they thought, and were deceived: for their own malice blinded them.

²²And they knew not the secrets of God, nor hoped for the wages of justice, nor esteemed the honour of holy souls.

²³For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him.

²⁴But by the envy of the devil, death came into the world:

²⁵And they follow him that are of his side.

So just post the Chapter and verse that supports Sola Scriptura an I will go away

Comment on the Replies you've skipped; and perhaps your badgering will be over looked.

Cite the chapter and verse where Christ told anyone to write anything down

Do other Freepers annoy you? Tired of being badgered??

Christianity, primarily Catholicism, has a recorded, written, pictorial, archectural history which is very well preserved and can hardly be disputed....

Your spellcheck did not like HANDILY it seems...

Just because you don't obey the speed limit doesn't mean that it no longer exists...it does.

Just because you don't obey the speed limit in Rome means you're a HERETIC bound for HELL!

Oh good grief, fallen away Catholics have ABSOLUTELY no concept of Catholicism which is probably why they are fallen away.....pathetic.

Hello Students!

I know, but I hated going to mass. I was an alter boy, until they kicked me out because I did not feel like learning Latin.

I guess THIS explains your high pitched voice!

No it's not, it is simply a (semi) quote from the Bible....like THIS IS MY BODY...which we also believe.

Jesus said, "You vipers" to Pharisees. This we do NOT believe.

How silly think that men were really snakes!Why; that'd be as crazy as thinking our beloved first pope was the devil!

Just because Catholics do not ascribe to sola scriptura does not mean that we cannot also appeal to scripture.

Then why all the denial when WE do it?

First, be VERY careful of calling yourself an "ALTER BOY"...that would call into question your gender identity...

Aren't you supposed to save this for ME; Sweetie?

After I left the Catholic Church, I lost that aggressiveness and took up snow skiing.

Oh?
