Catholic apologist Jimmy Akin admitted, “. . .if you know your Catholic faith well then that will help you discern what a particular passage of Scripture DOESN’T mean, but it normally will not help you identify precisely what it DOES mean. Consequently, there is always risk of error in Scripture interpretation. We [the Catholic Church] can’t eliminate that risk”(23). <br /><br />Question #6 How can Protestants logically become Roman Catholics if we can’t study Scripture and find out it allegedly supports Catholic teaching due to Scripture’s alleged unclarity? Should we blindly first become Roman Catholics without first seeing if Scripture supports Roman Catholicism?<br /><br />ANNOYED PINOYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714774340084597206noreply@blogger.com
