Hi, Josie —
Since you weren't specific on which
issue's your best friend's husband
is talking about, the best
I can do is send you my Apologetic
Scripture web page:
I would encourage you to sign up for these on a regular
basis with my Holy Quotes program:
Holy Quotes
and at least sign up for:
6. The Holy Scriptures Verse-Finder for Catholic Doctrines
(second one down)
My only caution is that you don't
get caught in games of:
- Bible Tennis
or
- Scriptural Ping Pong
Where you exchange one verse, for
another verse, for another verse,
etc.
A Catholic, let alone the Protestant,
can easily start taking Scripture
passages out of context,
just to win an argument.
In faith-sharing discussions, the
enemy is not a person, the enemy
is ignorance of the Scriptures
within the context of Catholic Teachings.
Remember: The Bible was written by
Catholics and their ancestors, for
Catholics, for use in the
Catholic Church.
Before 382 A.D., there was no known
inspired Table of Contents that made
up the Bible.
Those books were chosen by Catholic
bishops guided by the Holy Spirit.
Every time a Protestant opens their
Bible, they are implicitly saying:
I trust the decision that Catholic
bishops made, guided by the
Holy Spirit, on which books
make up my New Testament.
The Church came before the Bible;
not the other way around.
Hope this helps,
Mike
