“I understand it quite well. I was pointing out your inconsistency regarding Catholics. On one hand they are evil, on tbe other hand, the bible they approved and kept intact is supreme. How can that make sense”
I don’t own or particularly like a donkey, but God used Balaam’s ass.”, and God spoke through that beast to save His people.
I would have hated the Babylonian Captivity, but God used it to judge and prepare His people.
I don’t like giant man-eating fish, but God used one to reroute a wayward prophet to save a nation.
I don’t like the brutality of the cross, but God could see it to pay for all sin.
“some of the official doctrine of the Roman church is (evil).”
Any “religion” whose doctrine is extra-Biblical is a cult. That’s basically the defining attribute of a cult. Stick to the Bible; everything else is stuff made up by some guys.
Really? I don't think I've ever talked about it. How do you come to that conclusion?
Did she arrive in tht UFO Disc that was witnessed and reported and PHOTOGRAPHED that day 70,000 people saw a bright Disc buzz the crowd?
I don't know how she arrived. But if you want to dabble on the fringes of Christianity and are interested in UFOs and other such conspiracies, there's a former poster named Quix who you should get to know. Or are you Quix reincarnated?
Uh-huh.
So you’re telling me that Paul gave some super word of mouth traditions that completely invert what he and the other Apostles actually wrote?
Pull the other one; it’s got bells on.
Yep, uh-huh. You still haven't answered. Do you believe as do the Orthodox regarding faith and works:
"A person is justified by works and not by faith alone”
I didn't tell you anything. I just quoted St. Paul. Believe him or not.
What are those traditions Paul taught them? Hint...context is your friend in trying to answer this question.
And still no answer to the question.
This is the idiotic claim of the Catholic Church. How many times in scripture does it tell us, "It is written...". Our Lord Jesus himself picked up a scroll and READ from Isaiah.
So the Catholics tell us everything was handed down orally and those spritures that were handed down orally tells us they were written. It would almost be laughable if it wasn't so sad.
He doesn't list them, but it doesn't matter. The point is he is saying their teachings are by word of mouth or by letter
Hint...context is your friend in trying to answer this question.
Your context? No thanks.
What question?
That’s rich coming from a Catholic.
Hey, Elsie!
How’s that statue of Mary you own working out?
Pray to her recently, or light any candles to her?

So rich you posted it twice.
I have no idea what I’m talking about.
Who am I? Why am I here?
I’m a freakin moron.
I think I have dementia.
Once you figure it out, feel free to come back and post.
