I believe the scriptures, as handed down to us, to be the infallible and inerrant word of God good for teaching, reproof, correction, and for training in righteousness that we may be complete and capable for all good works. There are plenty of tools on the Internet these days to find out what precisely God wrote down for our instruction.

Since you do not explicitly answer the question, "Do you believe the King James Version is the word of God and that it is infallible and inerrant ? " I assume you do not.

Do you believe every translation of the scriptures handed down to you meets this criteria ?

Now, do you believe the same?

No, I do not believe plenty of tools on the Internet these days are the gift that finally revealed precisely what God wrote down for our instruction.

Rather, I believe in one holy catholic apostolic church teaching with authority from the time of the apostles unto this day.

Is KJV or the Vulgate your translation of choice?

Your response is rather telling. I paraphrased 2 Tim 3:16-17 to illustrate the point that Catholics no longer truly believe in scripture. They do not believe it is infallible or inerrant. Rather, as you’ve pointed out, they believe in simply what they are told. This isn’t much of a difference from a cult.

This is a far cry from what the early church fathers taught.

Yeah, me too...”small “c’ believer. Not the RCC’”c” version!

“catholic”...whole body of believers unified by the Spirit and by the individual washings of each individual’s sins by the spilled blood of Jesus Christ and by the forgiving grace extended by the Father thru the Son. The denominations are man made edifices, tolerated by God but to be done away with when Christ and Bride rule unified out of Jerusalem in the 1000 year reign! Job himself stated....”Though this skin be destroyed, yet in my flesh will I see God standing upon the Earth in the latter day” Job too, is a part of the small “c” catholic body of believers and he was predicting his own resurrection!

I believe that your 'holy catholic apostolic church'; teaching with self proclaimed 'authority' from the time of the apostles screwed up badly by SHOWING how effective it's 'teaching' was in John Revelation; CHAPTERS 2&3!!
