"I got the answer out of a book the Catholics never gave me nor encouraged me to read for myself .. and I will not consider any modern treatise about how Catholics do TOO read the bible .... NOT IN THE 1950'S OF MY YOUTH ! ! !"
Not in mine either bro. I don't know why they didn't want us to read the Bible. Maybe they thought they would lose control over us if we did. Reading the Bible can result in a person acquiring a certain amount of independent thought. We can't have that now, can we? It also can result in a person getting saved, and freely choosing to commit the sin of presumption. You know, that awful, horrible sin of having assurance of salvation. We can't have that now, can we?
Keep up the good work bro. I am doing my part, conducting Bible study for my Catholic friends. Yes, I actually DO have Catholic friends. Maybe some people don't, but I do. 😀😆😃😄
