those crazy Catholics

Bucky, you're the one using the edited version of the bible. If you look, the Guttenburg bible matches the Catholic bible, not the version that you're using. Even first editions of the King James Bible contain the seven books dropped from subsequent versions of the Protestant bible which the Catholic bible still contains.

I was not dismissing scripture, but stating that by using carefully selected verses, each of us could quote it in a manner that would support our position and call into question the others.

Yeah.... Yeah.... But it was all written hunnerts of years before the first pope.

Not true. It was compiled about 400 years after the first Pope, the apostle Peter.
