Can’t have anyone thinking for themselves now, can we.

LOL, you are correct sir. That is precisely why I am an ex Catholic myself. I was such a totally rebellious guy, that when the priests and nuns told me I couldn’t read the Bible for myself, without a priest to interpret it for me, the first thing I did, was get a Bible and read it and think for myself. I was a rebellious dude. 😀😆😄👍

Hence your screen name? Building something yourself not in the Bible based upon what can be found in the Bible (Mark only has 16 chapters)....

Here’s a thought. When you read the Bible for yourself, you become able to separate out what is biblical and what is traditional. Tradition should have it’s own book called “Optional.”
