B: Jesus Christ
c: Some other - please elaborate."
I know you had a few typos but I think I know what you mean.
The Bible is God's word.
We are talking about written word. Which do you equate to God:
A: The Bible.
B: The Catechism.
C: Some other - please elaborate."
Now, cut it out. Your's is not the "spin" game. Leave it to the experts. Spin experts, that is.
It's really a simple matter. God speaks to mankind in an infallible way.
When God speaks directly (whether it is recorded in Scripture or not) it is an infallible utterance and must be belived/obeyed.
When God spoke (or speaks) through a prophet, it is still God who is speaking, it is still infallible and it must still be believed. An OT King who said to his prophet "I know that you say that God wants us to kill those people over there... but right here in the written word it says "thou shalt not kill" so I won't do it... I'm resting on Scripture" would quickly find out (the hard way) that it was his own interpretation of Scripture" that was the problem and that, in fact, there was no conflict.
When God spoke through the Apostles (whether recorded in Scripture or not) it was still an infallible utterance and must be (have been) belived/obeyed.
When God spoke (and still speaks in a different way) through the authors of Scripture by the written Word, it is still an infallible utterance (in a much more verifiable way, but not uniquely so) and must be believed obeyed.
When God speaks through His Church (at least for most Christians), it is still an infallible utterance and must be believed/obeyed.
You see no conflict in my example because Jesus gives "God's Word" and the Bible is God's Word. They are not really separate. But the Catholic accepts that God's didn't stop talking 1700 years ago. And the source is the same. Choosing between Scripture and the Cathecism is a false choice because the source of both is God. The Scriptures are (and must always be) in the preeminent position, but "preeminent" still accepts that there are situations like the OT King where our interpretation of Scripture could be in conflict with the Truth. And forcing Dave to chose one over the other (even if he believes the Bible is in position one) is a false choice.
