that certain ideas presented in Dogma, such as the loophole that would allow the two banished angels to re-enter heaven is based on old beliefs within the Roman Catholic church. As we all know the Catholic church has been historically notorious for such traditions-
I agree you vette the Catholic Churchs' Tradition go against that of Scripture. My point is we can now go to the source instead of waiting on Rome's "so called" infallible interpretations. Also i saw a post by Osoclasi that talked of Hermuenetics (i dont think i spelled that right) That's the science of interpreting Scripture i think we all need to learn this.
remember the time when people could literally buy their way into heaven by giving money to the Church? But we both know that's not true. We get to Heaven through faith in Christ alone. But once again The Scripture tell us that. So those People were tricked. Poor folks.
As a Catholic myself, I'm aware of the contradictions, manipulations, and inconsistencies that the leaders of Church have used to gain power. Moreover, I also know that a lot of Catholics aren't even aware of this history, or simply just choose to ignore it.
But we can try to change that Vette, Study the Word and there are Lots of Noteworthy books that can help your knowledge of the Word. That Help with Biblical difficulties and the so on Email me if you want me to give some names of books to help your research.
I think that it is still a good critique of those who follow the Catholic faith and poses questions that many of us never even bother to ask because we've always been told to never ask 'why?'.
But you can ask why and find out that Christianity is A Faith that's built on Factual evidence. ___________________________
