Someone asked me to respond to an anti-Catholic blog and I tried to answer, but everytime I submit my comment, it disappears. So, if you're there, here is what I said.

Hi, you've written a lot. I'd like to respond, but only a bit at a time. If I may start with your title:
COMPARING SCRIPTURES IN THE CATHOLIC NEW TESTAMENT BIBLE TO TEACHINGS FOUND IN THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH – DEAR CATHOLIC, ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD, OR THE WORD OF MAN?
This is not an either/or question. Both the New Testament and the Catechism of the Catholic Church contain the Word of God. They both contain the Teachings of Jesus Christ which are the basis of Catholic Tradition. You, Catholic Tradition is the basis of the New Testament. Jesus Christ established the Catholic Church and passed down His Teachings with the command that the Catholic Church must continue to pass down His Teachings throughout time. This is recorded in the New Testament:
<i>Matthew 28:18-20 King James Version (KJV)
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.</i>
And so, it is those who reject Catholic Teaching who are rejecting the Word of God.
Thanks for asking.
