Yeah? So what?
Paul was talking about himself, not others when he wrote this. Context, context, context!
As Timidity points out, the Bible doesn’t make the claim that it is the only source. If you say it is, which you seem to do, please show us where it 1) says it is the only source and 2) where is has a list of the books that make up the Bible.
Are you sure that you aren’t protestant? Even a young Catholic would know that the church is founded on both scripture and tradition.
your onto something deb, maybe a 7th day Adventist pretending to be Catholic? they could at least try to hide it. From the time frame it looks like a hit and run, or a hit and watch from the sidelines. Oh well.
I think one’s soul has to be perfected. No doubt it is corrupt, because it began with original sin and is raised in sinful society.
i would like to say that there is no such place as purgatory,because jesus died for mans sins once and for allif you believe in purgatory you are then cancelling out what jesus did on the cross,as for context paul was speaking on behalf of everyone when he said those words.
so what that doesn`t mean hat i agree and that the church is always right,i say just the bible.
because we owe it to ourselves to kn ow the truth,and to watch for a false gospel,tradition is not always the best results as it has proven that tradition has flaws in it like swiss cheese.
the catholic church had added things to christianity,since the canon is considered closed i feel that any other teaching is irrelvant,as for the trinity come on lets not play gasmes here.i go with the bible alone,anfd that`s that.
i have jesus christ and his spirit living inside me,i don
t need no sacrament in front of me,anyone who calls on the lord jesus will be saved look it up yourself it is found in romans for you catholics who dont know or reasd the bible.…and where did the Bible come from? Did Jesus hand out Bibles just before he ascended? What gives you the authority to determine that the Church got it right when it came to the canon? Where in the Bible does the Church have the authority to codify the canon and then the authority goes to whoever? Furthermore, where in the Bible does it mention that the Bible is all encompassing? What inspiried author wrote the table of contents to the Bible?
you are believing in false teachins,even the catholic encyclopedia says thast purgatory is not found in the bible and also the catholic church is full of tradition which have no solid foundations just study the church fathers and read up on what they said about it.you are very naive.
7 day, this rhetoric is unnecessary. Certianly, you must be a Protestant who has come here posing as a Catholic (as one person has pointed out, since your beliefs are contrary to that of the Catholic faith, you are, by definition, not a Catholic). I am a Protestant as well (if that is what you truly are), but your seeming dishonesty, intentions, tone, and blatant disregard for gracious communication are not going to get you anywhere (wherever you are attempting to go). I believe as you do concerning Purgatory, but maybe you should try to understand their belief in Purgatory before you continue your ungracious polemics that mare the very truths that you believe you represent. If you are truly confident in your beliefs, then attacks are unnecessary, since they only reveal insecurity and lack of learned exposure to those with whom you disagree.
