I am new to the forums, and I read time and again posts by many who are either anti-catholic, or interested in catholic beliefs, that such and such was not in the Bible. From the falls of Jesus during His passion, to Mary’s assumption, it’s “Where is that in the Bible?”

If we go from that point of view, then that means, Jesus only ate a few times, even if inferred. The wedding feast of Cana, The feeding of the multitude and the last supper, since it’s not in the Bible that he ate any other time, and if we go by “sola scriptura” then that means in 33 years, Jesus hardly ate, and that means his fast in the wilderness was nothing extraordinary.

Jesus would have been smelly too, since he never bathed, it’s not in the Bible, in fact in the Bible the only thing we ever read that got washed was His feet.

Finally, poor Jesus must have suffered from some rare form of constipation, although since he hardly ate, he didn’t have to go to the bathroom much, but since it’s not in the Bible well it must have never happened.

How many other things happened that didn’t make it into the Bible? Well we don’t know everything, but thanks to the Church tradition we know of a lot of things that happened during the life of Christ and during his passion that simply weren’t written down by the Apostles. Does it really mean that if it isn’t in the Bible, it didn’t happen? Hardly. Is everything you have ever done been recorded? That time you skipped a rock 4 times across the lake? The night you ate a whole pizza by yourself? Since it’s not recorded does that mean it didn’t happen?

It’s time to stop this ridiculous “It’s not in the Bible” stuff, because it doesn’t mean anything. The Catholic Church has taught it and everyone at one time believed it, that includes the Lutherans, Baptists, Methodist, etc… they at one time believed it until they decided that they knew more than the Apostles who founded the Church and began rejecting the teachings. “It’s not in the Bible” is a lame argument.

Yes, it is a “lame” arguement but I’ve never quite heard it refuted in your manner. Very entertaining too! Thanks.:tiphat:
 
I have a feeling, with the absurdity of Sola Scriptura, that people who follow this heresey would refer you to John 21:25:
There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.
Sorry, I could not resist that one.:whacky:

This verse is a great defense on behalf of Sacred Tradition. Of COURSE it’s not all in the Bible! It took 1500 years to WRITE the Bible, then to compile the books, determine what was inspired, what was copied, what was fraudulent, etc. During that time there was such a thing as Oral Tradition, which developed into our Sacred Tradition.

Which leads us to the fullness of the faith, not just the written parts, but the parts requiring faith in the Holy Spirit’s guiding hands and the teachings coming directly from the apostles.

I LOVE the Church! :love:
 
but even though He did all of those other things (the ones that the world wouldn’t contain if we wrote them in books), we don’t know what they WERE, so they have no authority over us. and if we DID know what they were, they would look just like the protestant church today.

or so the argument goes…
 
I never looked at it from that perspective. In my junior year of college I wrote a paper refuting Sola Scriptura and your ideas would have really given my paper the edge it needed!
 
gelsbern…

Interesting observations, but I would imagine a protestant would return your volley with a simple…“That information is NOT needed for salvation”.
 
Great post–I’ll have to remember this one.

One point on eating is the Eucharist, and what IS in the Bible is the statement that whosoever does NOT eat his flesh and drink his blood shall not have eternal life—many fundamentalists have that phrase crossed out in their Bibles.

You forget His baptism in the river Jordan.

Wow, that contracticts the verse in Leviticus that says something like “thou shall not add or take away from the scripture…” I used that in my paper. What a blatant act of disobedience!

Hi Gilsbern, I can at least answer why you only read about Jesus eating three times in scripture. If you look in John 4 vs 31-34. Jesus said He had food to eat that no one knew about. My food,Jesus said is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. I hope this answers part of your question. 😉 As far as bathrooms I believe they didnt exist at the time. :rolleyes: Jesus didnt need to bathe because he was clean. He is the one that washes us. 👍 God Bless

This kind of “logic” is exactly the reason why sola scriptura abounds.

This is a very good and typical protestant response. Thank you and great job. Your response shows just how protestant you are and how protestants think to justify their own opinions to make them right. A typical protestant answer to a Catholic question or statement!

Again, good job. :clapping:
 
There is a FOURTH time that Jesus ate:

After Jesus’s resurrection, the Apostles were back at it doing the fishin’ bit, and when Peter realized that it was Jesus on the shore, Peter jumped out of the boat to go to Him. Jesus was cooking a fish breakfast and some of the Apostles didn’t believe it was Jesus so, Jesus ate some fish in front of them to prove Jesus was human AND Divine in the glorified body.

This whole concept goes back to the question: If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, did it make a noise?

Lord, have mercy on us all!

However, it is one thing to say “We believe certain things, although they are not in the Bible” - but something quite different, to avoid taking this argument from silence too far.​

“The Bible nowhere states” that St.Joseph was assumed into Heaven - the silence of the Bible on a thing, is in no sense a justification for, let alone proof of, a statement. Or is the silence of the Bible on the assumption of St.Joseph to be regarded as a proof that it happened ?

This is the highway to making up doctrine as one goes along. ##
