You have it backwards. Religion has gotten in the way of the text as the Holy Spirit divinely inspired it. No, He didnt inspire the Scripture we *dont* have. He inspired the Scripture we DO have.
Meaning “””
Concerning Jesus if the Catholis`s believe it the protestants don`t believe it, it is just a stupid religious thing and has nothing to do with scripture inspired or not.
In the Scripture we have—i.e.: inspired, inerrant Scripture—there is a fundamental difference between ‘petros,’ and ‘petra.’ This isn’t a Catholic or non-Catholic distinction. It is a crucial distinction given to us by the breather of Scripture, the Holy Spirit. We have no choice but to accept this distinction, understand it and honor it.
Hat a petty minded thing to think and accuse others of.
Our criteria for believing something is whether it not it is found in or can be strongly supported with, Scripture.
Its not our fault that most of Catholic teaching doesnt fall into that category.
