Please show me where God said his word, the bible, as you know it today, handed down as Tradition for over 1,600 years, was 100% true. Please show me what you believe.
That’s odd. I seem to have posted a link to a story in which the ACLU defended the rights of Christians students to spread religious messages to other students in school. That sounds like more than “hot air” to me – that sounds like an organization doing things to support civil liberties for everyone, Christian and non-Christian alike.
It is called lip service. You are just naive.
Gee on another post I quoted Jn 1:1 Saying Jesus was the living incarnate Word of God and was told by a catholic the Church was the word. Looks like you can’t get your dogmas straight. Which is it?
I have a hard time believing this. Even if it were true, Catholics recognize that they are fallible. What a Catholic says and what the Church treaches are not one and the same.
Yes there is only one that is infallible and His name is God.
The Church was granted infallibility by Jesus Christ.
The Catholic Church can get Her dogma straight. If someone quoted the Church as being the Word, they should have been corrected, and I already see another Catholic has called you out on it. Can you please link us to the post which stated that?
.What chapter and verse? The word infallible in association with any human entity is not in there. To equate fallible man with the infallible God is arrogant at the least.
The same God who has keept the OT pure for 3800 years is able to keep the the NT pure for the last 1900 years.
Yes. How? I want to know how do you know that God is able to preserve the Old and New Testaments? How do you know they have been kept pure? Who is keeping them from error? How do we know we have the right Scriptures?
It is not arrogant. We Catholics know that the infallibility of the Church is not on its own merits, but is only infallible by the grace of God. For God not to give his Church infallibility would seem incongruous to a loving and merciful God. The Holy Spirit inspired St. Paul to write that the Church is the pillar (support) and bulwark (defender) of Truth. (1 Tim 3:16). Could the Church accurately be called the defender of truth if she were just as susceptible to error as her individual members? Is the word “infallible” used? No. But there are a great many things all Christians believe that are not explicitly spelled out in the Scriptures (the Trinity being one, Sunday worship being another). And in the fourth Gospel, Jesus tells the Apostles that he would send the Spirit of Truth, who would guide the Church into all truth (16:13). Furthermore, Jesus gave St. Peter special authority by bestowing upon him the keys of the Kingdom (Mt. 16:19, cf Isa 22). This authority implies infallibility, as St. Peter was given the authority to speak for the Davidic King (Jesus) in his absence. As you see, the doctrine of infallibility is not simply something that was made up, but is firmly rooted in the Scriptures.
Hi grace
Yet you reject the longer version of Daniel found at Quamran…
Hello CW
The Quamran version of Daniel includes the passages found in LXX, but have been truncated from Protestant Bibles
What chapter and verses are you referring to.
First, there is no difference between Catholic Bibles and the LXX. The Vulgate was translated into Latin by St. Jerome. Just pick up any Catholic bible, turn to Daniel. If the passage was edited out by Luther, you will find it in the Septuagint.
Don’t you just have any chapter or verse numbers. I have to do it on line it would make it alot easier. Thanks
not off the top of my head. It is the last two chapters (i think) and a significant portion at the end of chapter 1
