Why are they deceived and you, I take it are not??'"
The Roman Catholic view is not consistent with scripture, so how do they decide what is proper doctrine? By making it up (works righteousness) and arguing from authority.
The Bible doesn't mention Popes.
The Bible doesn't mention Purgatory.
The Bible doesn't allow men to forgive sins.
The Bible doesn't venerate Mary.
The Bible doesn't give authority to church leaders. It is Jesus' church.
