It ought not be a surprise that each of Thomas’ positions is based on a continuation of secular-humanistic-logic.

Completely unguided by the Holy Spirit.
There can only be a single truth per issue [applying logic here],
so the position of Thomas seems to be that there was no biblical truth prior to the formation of our Brethren’s Protestant faith’s [plural],
and there newly discovered and uncovered “truths‘ after a period of about ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED YEARS of ONLY one Faith; the Faith of the Catholic Church.
Their first error is again; denial of Christ in the Eucharist, and the FACT that as Jesus Himself assures us;
“I AM God and I AM Present“, He therefore deserves and commands the place of honor afforded to Him in Catholic Practice. That is why the altar if Sacrifice in located front and center. God becomes Preset on it!
Second; on the issue of “authority.”
Thomas [and most Protestants] are not recognizing what
the Bible ACTUALLY say’s about the Catholic Church teachings Authoritatively,
because it alone is Christ Own Church, and the One set of faith-beliefs taught and protected by God himself.
The issue is further solidified by the fact that the Bible remains
a Catholic Book, in collection, and in origin of the entire New Testament which explains then why God ONLY guides the CC in granting His “FULL TRUTH“, and CORRECT UNDERSTANDING of His Word.
It is extremely important;
even vital to recognize that the Protestant claim that the bible
; for them, “acts for “as their “god,”
This is based on a complete and total falsehood.
Because God” is not with them in the same manner He IS with us Catholics.
The Bible Alone” then acts as the “only and final authority“, leading Protestants to consistent errors and numerous disagreements within even there own non-catholic ranks.”
YET that same “final authority” is NOT fully accepted,
and is often rejected, with amazing consistently, as “common self- selectively” is regularly applied on all of their following positions which are taught in the Bible.
1. Only One God; Only One set of Faith beliefs, and Only one church approved, guided and guarded organization as was set up by Christ.
[John 14:16-17; John 17:15-19; John 20-19-22; Matt. 28:16-20, Matt. 16:18-19].
2. The Primacy of Peter.
Jesus gave the key’s to heavens access to Peter
and the CC alone.
3. The denial of the proper place and
absolute need for the CC as
The Primary and Guided Teacher chosen by God
4. The essential Role of grace , especially “sacramental grace“ in BOTH Faith and salvation
5. Salvation issues and how salvation might be possible [clearly NOT OSAS] which denies God’s Divinity and humanities freewill, mind and intellect.
6. Predestination as part of salvation is NOT God’s way [nor the bibles, IF correctly understood.
7. The Seven Sacraments ALL instituted by Christ [explicitly or implicitly] for our benefit.
and the counsel of trent
8. Forgiveness of Sins and how it MUST happen,
because God Himself say’s so.
9. That reading the Bible while a good thing; OFTEN
[as evidenced by the MULTITUDE of Protestant denominations and varying faith-beliefs] ;
is dangerous when not done in full-accord with the
One Authority guided and honored by God; thee CC.
[Mt.16:15-19; Mt.28:16-20; John 14:16-17; John 17:15-19, John 20:19-22; Eph. 4:1-7, Acts 20:29, Rom. 3:2; Jer. 3:15; 1 John 4:4-5; 2nd. Cor. 11:12-13, All of John chapter six; Mt. 7:21-23, 2nd. Tim. 4:1-4, 2nd. Tim.3:16-17, and 2nd. Peter 2:1-2.]
AND THIS IS only A PARTIAL LIST OF BIBLE PASSAGES THEY DO NOT ACCEPT., so it seems foolish to spend more time on this topic.
