Tough not tuff. You have side stepped every issue and question we have brought up. You have not shown Biblically that your "Scriptures" are inspired of God. Muslim's believe the Qu'ran but that does not make the Qu'ran truth.
I havent side stepped a single issue. Jesus quotes the Septuagint in 80% of his Old Testament References, that should be enough proof. The Septuagint was also the Scripture of Jesus' time.
I accept the Deuterocanonical books, you are the one saying they are not inspired so you prove it biblically.

I have responded to your 2 Macc quote, and can prove 2 Macc is a teaching of the Pharisees and their traditions that Jesus denied. In fact Jesus called the Pharisees hypocrites and white-washed tombs.
Prove it then, I am waiting. I not only quoted 2 Macc, I also quoted from the book of Tobit to establish my point.

So your priest never gave you his phone number. I can pick up my phone books, look up the name of my church, call my church and leave a message for my pastor to call me. But then that takes gumption, which is something you seem to lack. You would rather spout heresy and then appeal to your illness to avoid answering an honest question.
I answered your "honest" question, and I dont have a phone book.

Can I use Scripture to back up my assertions? Yep, but this thread is dealing with Catholic doctrine and the burden of proof is yours to establish your “truth”. Now either put up or admit you cannot.
Well I seem to be doing okay so far.
You havent established a single thing, all you have done is give mere opinions and false twisted personal interpretations of scripture.

BTW, you are the first Catholic I have debated that was so egotistical and ill-informed as to claim your doctrines can be proven with Scripture only. The Catholic Encyclopedia even admits that some of your doctrines cannot be established with the Bible. If the Vatican could prove your doctrines with Scripture the Vatican would not have to appeal to "holy tradition".
I replied to this in another thread.
