I understand your comment, waquinas. I think your most salient point is: ultimately whatever position is running the show draws the lines. This is true on any site.I was invited here by a regular poster here who was posting on another forum.

Look, since I'm not allowed to address the specific topic of ""Does the Bible tell us what books are supposed to be in the Bible?" I think it only fair you are not to speak directly to the topic; as it is, you have made statements to which I am not allowed to reply.My question still stands: if...

(kriss;54944) Because your attempt is to again defened your religion by the back door. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...So, if a brand new, non-denominational poster asked the question, "Does the Bible tell us what books are supposed to be in the Bible?" that would be allowed?

why the "There are no scriptures..." threads have been removed?There is not one denominational comment in any of them; they are, in fact, devoid of reference to anything but Scripture.What, exactly, is the problem with asking if there are any scriptures that tell us about our beliefs?

Kriss, those commentaries are very fine, and make interesting reading - but they are simply opinions in agreement with your own. Fine opinions, to be sure, but only opinions. They are not authoritative.

What is clear is that those who disagree with the Catholic belief of confession disagree with the Catholic interpretation of the Scriptures; the opponents are saying their interpretation of Scripture is correct, not because of any evidence or reason, but because they say so.Seems there is no...

The Bible is inerrant, not infallible.

From the closed "Praying to Saints" thread, Kriss said: Im saying this is not written in the bible the verse's you have presented say nothing of praying to the dead Saint or not. The "it's not written in the Bible defense" is hardly a defense, as our belief as to what constitutes the Bible - the...

I find the use of the "one Mediator" Scripture in this discussion odd. The Saints do not go directly to God the Father, they go to our one mediator, Jesus (who is God). It is the same as asking someone here on earth to pray for you.Also, I find in disscussing this that those who disagree with...
