for "Born-again Christians" how would you feel if you'd be constantly accused of worshiping the Bible?

Question

since you keep on mentioning the Bible.

if you would feel offended, Catholics also feel offended by your false accusations. so do unto others what you want to be done unto you.


well, just a thought.

anyway, just answer the question, please.

Live4Glory, see, your answer shows you're offended, so why still spread lies against the Church? can't you really realize that you are being offensive?

now you know the feeling of being accused of something you don't do. how does it feel?

really, from the answers I get so far from you, "born-agains", it's so futile to have a sensible and level-headed conversation with you. it's very, very futile. you let your emotions run wild that you all become so defensive.

Answer 1

What a creative question.

Can't wait to see what answers you get.




The idea that all revealed truth is to be found in "66 books" is not only not in Scripture, it is contradicted by Scripture (1 Corinthians 11:2, 2 Thessalonians 2:15, 2 Thessalonians 3:6, 1 Timothy 3:15, 2 Peter 1:20-21, 2 Peter 3:16). It is a concept unheard of in the Old Testament, where the authority of those who sat on the Chair of Moses (Matthew 23:2-3) existed. In addition to this, for 400 years, there was no defined canon of "Sacred Scripture" aside from the Old Testament; there was no "New Testament"; there was only Tradition and non-canonical books and letters.



Our Lord founded a Church (Matthew 16:18-19), not a book, which was to be the pillar and ground of Truth (1 Timothy 3:15). We can know what this Church teaches by looking not only at Sacred Scripture, but into History and by reading what the earliest Christians have written, what those who've sat on the Chair of Peter have spoken consistently with Scripture and Tradition, and what they've solemnly defined. To believe that the Bible is our only source of Christian Truth is unbiblical and illogical.

Answer 2

The Bible is God's word. I worship God and try to obey his word. The Bible is holy and should be treated with respect. However if my house burned down and my Bible was destroyed, I would not be devastated. My God still exists, and I could buy a new Bible.

Answer 3

WE (Christians) worship the living GOD, not the book. If you follow the teachings therein you will live a good life. not necessarily a perfect life for we are all imperfect. But we are forgiven by the death and Resurrection our lord Jesus Christ, A devout Catholic.Jew, Muslim. or any religion will see God as well as a believing Protestant. He is Lord of us all.

Answer 4

I do not worship the bible, i live by its laws and statutes, It is as it says A light unto my feet and a Lamp unto my path. I consider it the perfect word of God, i use it to "test" and "prove" anything that another say to be biblically based. If it is not in the book, then it is false. That does not mean I worship the bible, by any means.

Answer 5

The Bible is the revealed revelation of God, the only one. We do not worship the Bible, we do not bow down to it, light candles before it, nor say prayers towards it.

Answer 6

That would be a lie. I worship God, not his book.
I would feel as if the person accusing me did not know what he/she was talking about, and I would just consider the source.

Answer 7

Take away the book and I would be ok. I do not have a relationship with a book, I have a relationship with the author.

Answer 8

The Bible is the Word of God.

Answer 9

they don't even read the bible they just believe what ever their preacher tells them. so all their doctrine consists of anti-catholic, Mormon and JW beliefs.

Answer 10

They're not going to get it. They've decided that Catholics are idolaters, and they'll stubbornly hold to that false conception to their graves.
