THE hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article574768.ece If there had been a problem with the Scriptures , Jesus would have pointed it out ,But he says Many Times, "It is Written" and "Your Word is Truth".. ..His very reason for being sent here to Planet earth was to fulfill and bear Witness to the Scriptures..... It is Written "All Scripture is inspired of God" What are they saying about the The Apostles of Jesus? The Apostle Paul says at 2 Timothy 3: 15 and that from infancy you have known the holy writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through the faith in connection with Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work........

Number one, it is not the Vatican, it is the the Bishops’ Conferences of England and Wales, and of Scotland. Number two, you should read it for yourself: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:EbJ6vW3M5esJ:www.catholic-ew.org.uk/content/download/3999/27399/file/ "It is important to note this teaching of the Second Vatican Council that the truth of Scripture is to be found in all that is written down ‘for the sake of our salvation’. We should not expect total accuracy from the Bible in other, secular matters. We should not expect to find in Scripture full scientific accuracy or complete historical precision." This sounds reasonable to me. ------------------------------------- For Gentleman Jack: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/27/AR2009032702825.html http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2809%2960902-8/fulltext?_eventId=login http://foreignaffairs.house.gov/110/hea092507.htm >>You don't get to twist what the pope said as though somehow he's right here.<< Let's look at the quote: "You can't resolve it with the distribution of condoms," the pope told reporters aboard the Alitalia plane heading to Yaounde. "On the contrary, it increases the problem." -- AP http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29734328/ What did Dr. Hearst tell the House Committee on Foreign Affairs a year and a half earlier? "We then looked for evidence of a public health impact for condoms in generalized epidemics. To our surprise, we couldn’t find any. No generalized HIV epidemic has ever been rolled back by a prevention strategy based primarily on condoms. Instead, the few successes in turning around generalized HIV epidemics, such as in Uganda, were achieved not through condoms but by getting people to change their sexual behavior." "A recent consensus statement in The Lancet was endorsed by 150 AIDS experts, including Nobel laureates, the president of Uganda, and officials of most international AIDS organizations. This statement endorses the ABC approach to AIDS prevention: Abstinence, Be faithful, and Condoms. It goes further. It says that in generalized epidemics, the priority for adults should be B (limiting one’s number of partners). The priority for young people should be A (not starting sexual activity too soon.) C (condoms) should be the main emphasis only in settings of concentrated transmission, like commercial sex." "Anything that dilutes the focus of AIDS prevention in Africa from changing sexual behavior may do MORE HARM THAN GOOD." (emphasis mine) http://foreignaffairs.house.gov/110/hea092507.htm

circa......{October 5, 2005} Well that is the nail in the coffin for me..... Sorry Catholics you are on your own. Rome is the seven Hills in Revelation..... Revelation 17v9 ....... http://biblos.com/revelation/17-9.htm And here is the mind which hath wisdom The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sitteth. Quote from link...[Similarly, they refute the apocalyptic prophecies of Revelation, the last book of the Christian Bible, in which the writer describes the work of the risen Jesus, the death of the Beast and the wedding feast of Christ the Lamb.]Unquote Quote[UNTRUE (as decided by the Catholic Church Revelation 19:20) And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone.â€] WARNING.... This is in complete contrast to the specifics of Revelation.... Revelation 22v19 ....... http://bible.cc/revelation/22-19.htm And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. Figures....why don't they throw the whole bible out. What a sham!

PROTIP: The Apostle Paul never read what you see as "The Bible." It did not exist in his day.
8 :
What they are saying is not from God but from the devil.
9 :
Their real problem is that they make "tradition" of the Church equivalent or higher than Scripture....so eventually they will be led astray. "If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, EVEN TO THE WORDS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, ....he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strife of words, whereof comes envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth....." (I Tim. 6:3)

???, it will not stand if you claim all is not truth, as written Matthew 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Oh, cool. I see more better now. LOL

As a shock to most, the Catholic church is not the church of God. Perhaps in the beginning, but it has long lost it's true meaning and as become a collection of money (the devil). To me, and this is just my belief, the Catholic Church is the workings of the Antichrist. Just my stupid opine.
13 :
The bible tells us that who ever adds or removes a word from the bible will be in danger of the fire of hell. More proof that the catholic church is not a christian denomination. You can't change the word of God and still call yourself a servant of God.
14 :
They change with the times to keep the money flowing.

I always find it so amazing that these people are not even aware that the bible was compiled by the catholics and there versions of christianity changed it. This isn't rocket science. The reformation and all of the other subdivisions of Catholicism/christianity are well documented historical facts that can be looked up with only a few moments of research. It is a bit comical to watch these people going around spouting pure catholic doctrine and dogma at the same time yelling the catholics have it all wrong. It ignorance exhibited about the roots of their own beliefs and religion is astonishing. Love and blessings don

Why? because they have no faith, and they don't care How they try to discredit God.Calling God a liar, is exactly what Satan did.
17 :
The Catholic Church teaches its own doctrine. It is not from scripture therefore the Bible contradicts Catholicism. They deny Jehovah as God Almighty, teach hellfire, everlasting soul and trinity. Their churches are decorated lavishly, filled with statues of whomever and flags of the nation they reside in, they prey off the parishioners to support the coffers and readily accept money for weddings, baptisms etc. They don't discourage sinning as the confessionals have swinging doors, so to speak. They know not of the Kingdom of God nor do they teach it. If they realized what is around the corner for them they would hopefully wake up, admit their misdeeds and stop misleading their followers. The hope they give is a false hope and not from God. In short, the Bible exposes the Catholic Church for what it is, a false prophet, liar, and destroyer of men.
18 :
WRONG! That's NOT what the Vatican said! Actually, it wasn't even the Vatican; hence it was NOT the Catholic Church in general. It came from a group of bishops from the Church in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is NOT the Vatican! Also, it would help if you knew the difference between 'fact' and 'truth'. The Church teaches that the Bible is Truth. What the UK bishops said was that not all content of the Bible should be considered FACTUALLY accurate - but that doesn't mean the Bible is any less True.
19 :
They don't like the Bible because it proves many of the lies and false doctrines taught by the Church. And only the truth hurts. RC church is hurting from these truths so the say the Bible is wrong.
20 :
Because they are just like a ball of confusion; rolling along and picking up all kinds of debris and mayhem and declaring it and themselves as the authority....and all the while overstepping God's boundaries. Soon though, they will have an accounting with the Sovereign Lord Jehovah!
21 :
Books that were written by man are bound to have mistakes. And guess what? it can be re-written to control man. Some humans have no guilt when wanting to control man-kind. Thats why denominations were made. Anyway, there are still some phrases and words that scholars still argue about the translation, like Did moses cross the "Red Sea", or the " Reed Sea". Its things like that where man has dipped his pen in that is bound to have mistakes. Believe in god and nothing else.
22 :
Surely the Vatican is aware that the two accounts of Genesis are a reiteration of the same account ? This is what the Scriptures often do, they tell it again to make sure it has sunk into our feeble human brains. Obviously it is taking a long while to sink in to those at the Vatican. I'm speechless at their inadequacy to understand Scripture yet they talk about the 'Assumption of Mary' which is not in the Scriptures as if it were fact and give her the title of 'Mother of God' similarly absent as is the 'Trinity'.. Maybe the Bible Scriptures, inspired by God, are not what they go by.
