****This is a common straw man raised against evangelicals. You will not find any serious evangelical ever saying the Bible is the sole source of all possible information.  What you will find is that as a matter of conflict resolution as between two sources, where one is the word of God and the other is the word of man, the typical evangelical will always defer to the word of God.  ….****

This is interesting, thank you! What are some of the sources Evangelicals will use?

And please notice that I said that nothing the Catholic Church teaches can contradict Scripture :) nor the other two sources of information.

________________________________
****And yes, it is a denigration of Scripture to hold human opinion over the heads of others, complete with anathemas, when there is no unequivocal basis in Scripture for such pronouncements. Such injurious speculations are a positive harm to the body of Christ, and we should never seek to enforce them as equal in moral and spiritual force to God’s own words.****

You think that everything outside of Scripture is only human opinion, and as a result you have a problem with how the Catholic Church teaches. That information which the Catholic Church calls Tradition comes from Christ Himself. That which is taught by the Magisterium is derived from these two divine sources and is protected by the Holy Spirit. None of the three sources can be contradicted.

So what you are saying here is as wrong about the Catholic Church as what I said about the only source being Scripture when applied to Evangelicals—can you see that?

You think Reading the mind of another Freeper is a form of 'making it personal. Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
