Reference Section: Peter And The Papacy

[cmotherofpirl]

I'm sorry, that is not an option for me to join the Catholic Church. I would need to first believe that Scripture taught the Pope to have authority on par, if not greater than Scripture, which I do not. I would also need to see some proof of many of the Catholic doctrines in Scripture, which as Catholics argue sometimes 'Scripture supports, but does not prove, we go to other sources'. I cannot accept anything beyond Scripture as that in itself is the only thing I've seen to have proof through prophecy, external and internal, and also promises about itself to be inspired and the fact that it has never been shown to be incorrect. (I have many other reasons, but this isn't a debate on if it is true or not so I'll stop now).

Circle we are not asking you to go and join the Church, simply to read Catholic teaching to understand the Church. :D

If you want to discuss more about acripture post it on the debate board.
