>The key to all of this is allowing the Word to interpret the Word.<

Who interpreted it for the writers? And without infallibility somewhere along the line, it's a pretty flimsy foundation, isn't it?

It might help to know Greek. But it's hardly a requirement for knowing the true faith.

You wanted a reasonable objection to the rcc....I gave you one which apparently you didn't even read.

Knowing the Greek and the historical background of the OT and the NT leads one to a clearer understanding of the Word and how it should be understood. I think I know why catholics downplay using the Greek. One it isn't Latin, and two when the Greek is used it destroys a lot of roman catholic teaching.

Until the roman catholic church publishes a verse by verse commentary on what each verse means they have no room to talk. You would think that for a group that claims to be the church going back 2000 years, that claims to be infallible, a verse by verse commentary would have been published by now.

This is an absurdity on steroids.
