I am a former Catholic and have spoken to many catholics and they interpret this passage 2Peter 1:20 exactly as I've stated it. Before we jump around to other passages, how do you understand this 2Peter 1:20 passage? Is it as Catholic apologists claim (e.g. Patrick Madrid) that individuals are not to read the bible for themselves because doing so is interpreting, trying to understand the bible for themselves? If that's the case I hope you see the inescapable trap that Catholicism provides. You can never question the Catholic church using the Bible because if you do, "you're self-interpreting." Hi Clayton,

Thanks for visiting my website. I am a former Catholic and have spoken to many catholics and they interpret this passage 2Peter 1:20 exactly as I’ve stated it. Before we jump around to other passages, how do you understand this 2Peter 1:20 passage? Is it as Catholic apologists claim (e.g. Patrick Madrid) that individuals are not to read the bible for themselves because doing so is interpreting, trying to understand the bible for themselves?

If that’s the case I hope you see the inescapable trap that Catholicism provides. You can never question the Catholic church using the Bible because if you do, “you’re self-interpreting.”

The catholic church was the one to compile and establish what is to be understood as the 27 books of the new testament. The very book that protestants are using to prove that the catholic church wrong is the same book organized by the majestarium. I would like to give you a website address that explains a bit of this matter it is catholic answers.com and the article is explaining 1 Tim 3:15. And how as a church we are to be one by what we believe. http://archive.catholic.com/library/pillar.asp Thank you for your time Clayton.

It is called the Harvest Bible Fellowship. Each church in this denomination operates with the same template. They are all called "churches of life groups." (If you aren't in a life group, then they don't want you in one of their churches.) What is a "life group"? The life groups are all facilitator-led groups.

Several TMS grads are now leading these "churches of life groups" as other TMS grads are enrolled in the Harvest School obligated to plant more of these churches in the future.
