Dear Neville,
Thank you for your follow up.
I understand your conclusion then is the Catholic Church did not act infallibly
in putting together the Bible. This means that none of us have an infallible
Bible, including you. So what good is it. Now where do we go for religious
doctrine, including doctrine which trumps science. (Catholics of course
believe the Bible was infallibly produced).
You are now asking me if Pope John Paul II made the Galilei statements. You
made the allegations publicly on this forum. So, please figure out and provide
us exactly what is the official position of the Catholic Church or withdraw
your allegations.
Thank you for admitting you are not infallible on religious matters. I
appreciate the clear statement. It follows then that everything you say on
religious (including Bible) matters could be wrong. You simply have no way of
knowing.
Since you admit the KJV and NIV can have errors in them, this means they can be
in error on the statements regarding geostatic matters. You have no way of
really knowing, do you.
Regards,
Nick.

Dear Nick,
You said that, "Thank you for your follow up. Although I think it would have
been upright of you to answer, rather then dodge, my simple question on whether
you claim to be infallible on religious matters ..."
I will answer your simple question. No, of course I do not claim to be
infallible on religious matters, nor on scientific matters, nor anything else.
You asked another question in your lengthy posting, if I remember correctly. Do
I consider that the Bible I use can have errors? My answer to this question is
yes, I do accept that the KJV and NIV can have errors in them.
Also, you say, "With reference to your claim that statements by the Catholic
Church on geocentrism go against Biblical teaching on the matter, will you
please cite us to the specific sources so those who are interested can review
them."
Did not Pope John Paul II pardon Galilei and state that Galilei was right all
along? Yet the Scriptures tell us that the World cannot be moved and that it
was the Sun and Moon that stopped moving, etc., etc.
"Your continued use of the Bible shows you accept the Catholic Church acted
infallibly in putting it together ..."
No, sir, it does not.
Have I "dodged" anything else?
Neville.
