You people sure have a low opinion of scripture...
You think we don't know why THAT is your answer instead of satisfying the question you were asked?
The problem is those who don't accept this indicates a profound lack of intellectual integrity.
I have nothing but the highest regard for the ACTUAL words of Scripture. I read Scripture daily. I am involved in 2 Bible Study groups. So don't make up things about my love of Scripture.
You deny the ACTUAL words of Scripture. Like "This IS my Body" "The Church is the pillar and foundation of Truth.
You believe things that are simply not in Scripture, you deny the things that ARE in Scripture, while saying everything you need to believe is found in Scripture
Amazing how the group that claims they “gave” us the texts so readily dismiss them.
