How do you know Indulgences aren't Biblical? Can you give me proof instead of just throwing around your opinions? You aren't proving much for your side of the argument you know...what I'm seeing is opinion based, not Scripture based.
Because the concept of them flies directly against scripture? Your argument from silence is really not a reasonable argument.
Still, no references. Do you have some?

Show me the Scripture. The Holy Catholic Church IS the true Church. Chfrist left it when he left the keys to the Kingdom to Peter. We believe the Holy Scriptures because they were written by the Apostles.

By your standard, I would like for you to give me something from scripture that shows that Jesus gave the keys to Peter, then told him he was pope, and that future successors of his would be called "Pope". And that they are the only representative of Christianity on earth.
Or that, since scripture doesn't say a thing about all sorts of other stuff like the assumption of Mary....that it didn't happen.
I guess now, by your standard, my point is proven...since you have no scripture saying that.
I asked you first. Where are your proofs? I have Scripture to back me up. Do you?
Seriously, if you have a degree in theology, you should be able to provide your proof from Scripture, fairly easily it would seem to me. Then, when you have done so, I will provide you with Scripture readings also. But since I asked first, it's common courtesy to provide from your point of view first. And that's a good attempt at changing the subject, but to no avail. I have asked for references. Once you have been asked, it is your responsibility to provide them.
