Really??? Jesus says the O.T. canon was finished long before your religion ever showed up...The New Testament was being taught and thousands/millions being saved hundreds of years before your religion had a council...
And for 2000 years, your religion has failed to come up with a single oral tradition that originated with the apostles...
As Americas leading Lutheran convert to Catholicism, Rev. Richard Neuhaus remarked on his conversion, the fullest expressions of scripture are found in the Catholic Church.
The bible says not even one bishop can be an unmarried man...It's clear to me that this Neuhaus fella wouldn't know the full expression of scripture if it bit him...
Neither John the Apostle nor Jesus would have qualified, huh? Ridiculous.
Really? Yes. The oral tradition was carried by the early Church fathers. If you have even the foggiest idea of early Church history you would know- as even prominent Lutheran theologians now admit- that the books in the Bible were assembled by infallible Petrine authority and that authority did not disappear eleven centuries later with the Reformation.
Bible Christians can swim only in the shallow end of scriptural interpretation, take them over to the deep end and they drown. Hence, the reference to this “Neuhaus fella’
Is this the best you could do?
The Church is to not just for intellectuals and scientists, but also sinners and saints. But of course the deep understanding of Augustine, Aquinas, Newman, and Benedict go over the heads of Bible-Christians: Moonies, Rev. Schuller, Rev. Wright, Billy Graham, Jim Jones and the rest of the heretical interpretations.
