The Ultimate Blasphemy
is misleading christians here by using a non official so called catholic site to smear Catholic christians. If you want to know official Catholic teaching go to the CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

All that is not recorded in the Bible is legend.

Right, gotcha

No, if it is not consistent with scriptures is myth or legend. Let me ask you a rhetorical question. If Jesus was to come back during our lifetime, how would you discrern the false teachers? Would you compare their teachings to tradition or to the scriptures?

I must agree. But I fear it wont work. I quote things from the Catechism, and they dispute the validity. You cant make those who dont wish to see, see.

Sounds like smear vs smear. People from the RCC are often quoting nonofficail, so called masonic sites to smear that fraternity. I like your admonition that people should check on the sited sources.

I have not read in this where any Roman Catholic has smeared Masonic Jews. Smear? And if one did, does that make it right for a masonic jew to smear the Roman Catholic Church? Two wrongs dont make a right. Period.


Ok you claim people pick appart the scripture, well you didnt read the whole.
That states that he fulfilled the request. Mary said they had no wine. Jesus turned water into wine.


As for the rest, I could bring out a thousand different sources, but it wouldnt please you. So I will allow someone else to take the reins on this for a bit.

The scripture that you want to use to have Mary to be seen as anything other than a mother asking her son for a favor astounds me. For you need to read that when He said what has this to do with us He was speaking of Him and His disciples and not Him and Mary. Read the beginning of this whole passage. Jesus did not even come to the wedding with Mary. Now look at why this was even done. Not to glorify Mary by any means but to start His ministry on earth.

I am sure that Jesus obeyed his mother throughout his life and Jesus did do what Mary wanted in this passage. There is nothing in this passage that allows you extrapollate that Mary has any "clout" with Jesus in heaven or that she can interceed for us in heaven.
I didn't pick apart the passage but merely read it in context.

Tradition is Scripture rightly interpreted by the Church. It is no less than the testimony of the life of the Holy Spirit manifested through the Church. False prophets are tested against Tradition, if they do not line up with Holy Tradition, they are counterfeit.

No, if it is not consistent with scriptures is myth or legend.

The statement for which you make this fallacious claim is not inconsistent with Scripture.

Only if something contradicts rightly interpreted Scripture or other Church Tradition, is it false or a myth. There is no requirement that something be consistent with Scripture for it to be true. Scripture even states this. c.f. the end of the Gospel of St. John.

John 21:24-25
24This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. 25And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.



I don't see where it reads to beleive man made tradition that is not consistent with scripture. I don't see where it reads that tradition is equal to scripture. What I do see is where it reads that his testimony is true.

That is self explanitory. The Scriptures could not contain all the books that should be written. There are the scriptures and there are Oral Laws (which give forth to tradition) , and each are equal, and always have been.

That's right. The bible could not and does not hold everything that Jesus said or did. John said in his gospel that his testimony was true, but what he does not say is that "oral" traditions are equal to scripture. All "oral" traditions must be compared to scripture to assertain its validity. The Word of God will ALWAYS superceed the traditions of man.

I see this as false. For We are to test everything with scripture and not a church teaching. We are never directed to rely on the Church. Paul admonishes us to stick to the scripture that is taught. Jesus tells us that Gods word is Truth. We also see when Jesus rose from the dead that He opened the eyes of His followers to understand the scriptures. NOt the church.

Amen and also what we need is all contained in the scriptures. For they have to power of salvation and sanctification.

It plainly states that Jesus did many things not recorded in ('consistent with' in YOUR definition) Scripture. So, are these things that Jesus did and said outside of Scripture myth and fable ? By your definition they are.
