today I had scripture read to me and was ask to show proof of what I believe ,in the same verse and chapter ,I told that person that’s not how we learn we are not soppose to read each others scripture and argue over who is right ,each person learns their way .
my personal opinion I held back because he went reading the whole bible just the new testament and I was getting furious w him ,so I back off , I don’t get it why people must force their views of what they think is true or what they believe in scriptures , sadly this guy didn’t back down , so I politely told him that the bible was rewritten a lot and only bible you should believe in Jesus ,he is the word .
this stuff gets on my nerves , esp. when people like him force their views on others
 
I would say “I’m not interested in discussing this with you. Thank you for respecting my privacy.” Then walk away. If he wants to follow, that’s his business. As is his opinion. Later I would pray for him and get on with my life.
 
Bible studies don’t seem to help very much because at the end of the day I forget everything and I am still the same horrible person.

Cruciferi asks a good question. If it’s at work and he won’t back off, then it becomes a HR issue, at least in the US. I think you have to unequivocally tell them to stop if I’m remembering the law correctly, but I’m not a lawyer. Witnesses help. No pun intended there; not JW.

thanks everyone , no it was as I was shopping ,I just did the shopping and left . let him preach his version to himself
 
I disagree with what you said, but what you can say is:
“No thanks, I’m already a Christian. Look up Jimmy Akin if you want.”
 
Blessings,
If it was aChristian Bible, it’s our verses, too. We have extra deutercanniocsl books that they don’t have.
The word of God is spiritually fluid. It is living Water. It is interpreted,as it is written by itself, related to the History of the church. It is interpreted in the context of its paragraph and chapter and letter. Yet, when your soul is hurting and you read the same verse(s), it comes alive and pours over your soul to heal your pain. PRAISE GOD! Thank you, Jesus.
When burdened, do not the words,”COME TO ME!! ALL YE-ALL YE, WHO ARE BURDENED AND HEAVY LADEN—— AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST!! SIGH! The heaviness is freed.
Ephesians 3:14-21—I FALL ON MY KNEES… praying that you will know the HEIGHT AND BREADTH AND THE DEPTH of God’s Love.
I’m in communion w Him now. Sweet Jesus.
TheBible holds Gods LIVING WORD. It breathes in us.
In Christ’s Love

I think you probably did not frame this right. Obviously you don’t hate it when you get scripture read to you. If this were true, you probably would not go to Mass!

I think what you hate is being held to the standard of “sola scriptura”, which is heresy.

You are right, Scripture is not to be used as “proof texting” for doctrine as the children of the Reformers use it. What you are reacting to is the rejection of the authority of the Church.

Pray for them. They believe they are doing what God has called them to do to convert you to the true faith.

What you said is true, of course, but you are also being called of God to fulfill the commandment of the Apostle:

1 Peter 3:15 "…but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence; "

We are to be always ready to defend the faith that has been passed down to us from the Apostles with gentleness and reverence. This means we cannot get angry and frustrated with those who assail us. They do it because they don’t know any better, and we must be prepared to teach them the fullness of faith.

That does not mean they will accept it, of course, but we can be ready. There is nothing in the NT that is not Catholic. The entire content of the NT was written by, for, and about Catholics. There is nothing in it that contradicts the Catholic faith.

Many have interpretations of the text that seem to contradict the CC, but this has to do with their mindset/theology, and not the Holy Scriptures, which belong to the CC.
 
All the Bibles studies I have been to tell me something but don’t necessarily tell how to practice or obtain what they were talking about. If it is about forgiving I see that I need to do this but I don’t get any advice on how to forgive or anything like that. Or am I derailing the thread with something irrelevent.

I think what you are saying is that you are irritated with the manner in which they use the scriptures. I hope you never tire of having the Scriptures read to you!
 
Hi!

…I don’t mean to ruffle your feathers… but you must know that we are Called to be Witnesses (Stand) for Christ and our Faith:
15 But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you. 16 But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 17 For it is better doing well (if such be the will of God) to suffer, than doing ill. (1 St. Peter 3)

So while some would put us up against the wall with choreographed assaults, we must be knowledgeable and humble enough to give an answer–even if the answer may be ‘I have no answer right now, but I can find out for you what the Church Teaches on that.’

You can also employ this or other Catholic sites to search for a response to those queries. Feel free to PM me with a list of questions and I can search Scriptures for the answers.

Maran atha!

Attending Mass is the same if we do not integrate into our lives what is Taught to us.

The battle is a spiritual one–we must avail ourselves of the right tools:
10 Finally, brethren, be strengthened in the Lord, and in the might of his power. 11 Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil. 12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. 13 Therefore take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice, 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace: 16 In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. 17 And take unto you the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God). 18 By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit; and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the saints: (Ephesians 6)

You are searching for Truth (Jesus), hence, there cannot be a derailing…

Yet, you are speaking of two different things… consider Bible study as Mass or a spiritual seminar… people go in, they take part of the event, some are highly motivated and feel a burning passion for the Lord, some remain skeptic/unmoved, some feel a spark ignite… then everyone goes back home (leave the Mass) and seconds to minutes to hours to days later… nothing!

People get caught up in the event (as the parable of the seeds that fall on different terrain) and only those who internalize and adopt the Teaching become fruitful.

Seldomly is there an instant conversion (change of life) where people who are exposed to Christ’s Teachings become spiritual, on the spot.

We are on a growth curve; the more we put into it (the more we humble ourselves to God by submitting our wills to His) the more we can get out of it (the more He Will Lift us up and use us in His Kingdom).

Maran atha!
