Hey Cathode, with all of your posts it seems like you are trying to convince yourself that you are right instead of anyone else.;)

Yes I know that. I was just being clever.

Bible "aloners" as you call them do not disagree on what the Bible says. I have been involved in several Baptist churches and I don't remember any disagreements between the members of scripture meanings. Do you have any personal experience with Bible aloners in order to make your claim? Yes...

Who am I? I'm just a sinner saved by grace through Christ. As for those other books of Bible; if they were divinely inspired, they would be in all the bibles, not just a select few, like the Catholic Bible.

God did not inspire those extra books.

Catholics believe that the Bible contains 73 books when in actuality, it contains 66 books.

I have had positive scriptural and grace experiences in Baptist churches, but not in a Catholic church, so that is not a shame. What is a shame is that most Catholics, at least the many I have talked to don't even know how to be saved. They believe that by going to church, taking communion...

Come on now. You know what I mean. You really offend me by saying that I sound like I have a works based salvation. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Salvation is by grace through faith and not of works. That is what I believe. Catholics, though believe in certain works being necessary...

I'm sorry, but there is no way I can be "engaged" in something that is utterly nonsense. Yes, every Mess has a scripture reading, and like I said before, I take my Bible so that I can read along, but what good does it do when no one is reading along or with no preacher to expound upon the...

Well good for him. I have had no similar experience at a Catholic Mess.

Yes, there are 3 or 4 verses read, yet no one in attendance has a Bible with them to read along (except me.) I have heard no scripture being read in any liturgy or at any other time during the Mess.

If the Catholics are so into the Bible as you claim, then why am I the only person in the whole building who brings a Bible when I attend an occasional Catholic Mess with my GF, who is Catholic. I have had several recent discussions with various Catholic folks who know very little about what is...

You are correct. No Protestant aided in its construction. It was the Baptists who aided in its construction long before there were any Catholics around.

But they definitely could have been saved IF they followed the true plan of salvation written in the gospels and not some made up Catholic tradition and the so called sacraments for their salvation.

About as opened minded as you are.
