Argue your beliefs from Scripture.

Luther did.

The fact that you continue to refuse to do so says a lot more about you than it does about anyone else.

I can tell you that certain beliefs are based on Scripture and or Tradition only on the basis of Church teaching.

No one individual is the final interpreter of Scripture on their own authority, other the one Church Christ commissioned.

I think to argue as you wish would end up as a mini version of the fragmented Churches of the Reformation.

The fact people do not seem to understand that there cannot be hundreds of differing interpretations of Scripture and all be true just boggles the mind.

Why is your opinion better than the pastor’s at the little independent church on the corner?

We need an authority and unity. Christ told us so.

I am very sorry, I got involved in this thread and hope my statement of belief has not offended anyone.

I will leave the discussion to you all.

Peace.
