Assalamo ALikum,
Quote:I'll hear them out but at the end of the day I trust the Church & only the Church. By all means, stick to your preferred theories but please don't impose them on me
I don’t care at all whom you trust or what you believe in FHC… you are now not focusing in responding to my posts, instead, you are just showing us how much you love your Church no matter what happened, but this doesn’t resolve our problem.
Quote:I guess if you study hard enough, you'll come to know the truth about the ancient manuscripts. Read! Read! Read! There's plenty of evidence out there. The fact that we even have these manuscripts is a miracle! During the persecution of the Early Church, Nero attempted to burn all copies of the Bible. Thanks be to God he failed.
I did not deny that you have some <i>‘ancient’ </i> manuscripts in existence today, but those ‘<i>ancient</i>’ scriptures <b>are not the original writings which God revealed to His prophets</b>, to prove my point further please <b>READ READ READ </b> Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible
Some quotes for your reference:
Quote:<b>THE hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church </b> has published a teaching document <b>instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true.
</b>
Quote:The Catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland are <b>warning their five million worshippers, as well as any others drawn to the study of scripture, that they should not expect “total accuracy” from the Bible. </b>
Quote:<b>But the first 11 chapters of Genesis, in which two different and at times conflicting stories of creation are told, are among those that this country’s Catholic bishops insist cannot be “historical”. At most, they say, they may contain “historical traces”. </b>
Quote:The Bible is true in passages relating to human salvation, they say, but continue:<b> “We should not expect total accuracy from the Bible in other, secular matters.” </b>
Quote:<b>Similarly, they refute the apocalyptic prophecies of Revelation, the last book of the Christian Bible, in which the writer describes the work of the risen Jesus, the death of the Beast and the wedding feast of Christ the Lamb.</b>
Now you said:
Quote:The Church! She's been given sole authority from above to teach, govern & sanctify.quote]
Then follow the Church’s teaching on what they’ve said in the above article. That "<b>that some parts of the Bible are not actually true</b>
"
