the catholic church has never contradicted itself

We never determined what the word 'contradiction' actually means so I will offer it here: Contradiction: 1 : act or an instance of contradicting 2 a: a proposition, statement, or phrase that asserts or implies both the truth and falsity of something b: a statement or phrase whose parts contradict each other contradiction in terms> 3 a: logical incongruity b: a situation in which inherent factors, actions, or propositions are inconsistent or contrary to one another.[1] We see that contradiction implies that two parts have inconsistencies with one another and all my contentions show as much about the doctrine of the RCC and The Bible. Unless my opponents wants to say that the RCC doesn't strictly use Biblical doctrine. If the RCC is wrong about Biblical doctrine and also claim they are not then that is a contradiction. If they simply teach anything that is unBiblical then that is a contradiction also. A. Denials of Biblical teachings or tradition (A1)- Pope denies the teachings of the Apostle Peter (Acts 15:11; 1 Peter. 2:5) My opponent takes the usual stance here but there is a problem. In the original Scriptures on Matthew 16:18, Jesus uses two words for "Rock" in the original language. This difference in words reveals that Jesus is NOT basing His church on Peter, but on (Jesus Himself). "He said to them, But who do you [yourselves] say that I am? Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Then Jesus answered him, Blessed, happy, fortunate, and to be envied are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood [men] have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros--a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra--a huge rock like Gibraltar] I will build My church, and the gates of Hades, the powers of the infernal region shall not overpower it, or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it." [ Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary] As you can see, Jesus plainly stated which "Rock" upon which He was building His church. His use of two distinctly different words for "Rock" clearly prohibits any person from ever believing, or teaching, that Peter was the "Rock".[2] But for thousands of years the Catholic Church have been teaching that this verse implies that Peter is the Rock that is refered here. (A2)- Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles (Rom. 11:13), Peter was the apostle to the Jews (Galatians 2:8). My opponent never even addresses this part of the contention. This shows that the RCC views Peter as their apostle when it was Paul who was ordered to teach the Gentiles nations. They deny scripture by not recognizing Paul as their given apostle. B. Idolatry (B1)- Catholicism is pagan idolatry where the 2nd commandment has been removed from the list of 10 commandments. (EX 20:4) This part was ignored. It is a fact that the RCC has a different Ten Commandments then the priginal Biblical Commandments. My opponent offered no reason why. (B2)- Mary is not the 'Queen of Heaven' but rather a pagan deity. I showed last round that Mary is viewed by the RCC as being without sin but the Bible says in multiple places she is sinful. He also denies that Mary has children beyond Jesus and claims they are cousins. It says: "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him."(Mark 6:3) Here we are told Jesus' has four brothers who are born of Mary and at least 2 sisters. My opponent must justify this account because it clearly says that Jesus has siblings. (B3)- Alexander Hislop (The Two Babylon's) My opponent never attempts to rebuttal this also. This author gives a detailed account of how RCC traditions did not come from Biblical origin but Babylonian origins. NOTE - If the RCC contradicts the Bible then that is enough for contradiction of the RCC because they base their doctrine from the Word of God. C. Modern Contradictions (C1) The Roman Catholic Church teaches that the Bible and tradition as interpreted by the Church are the final seat of authority in religion. It is true that these people were teaching tradition against Biblical doctrine and so does the RCC. The above and below are examples of that. "Christ gave his disciples no command to write, but only to teach." (Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. 5, p. 767). Christ commanded the apostle John, "Write therefore the things that thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are to come hereafter." (Rev. 1:19). "The Apostles are never reported to have circulated a single volume of the Holy Scripture, but 'they going forth, preached everywhere, the Lord co-operating with them.' (Mark xvi. 20)." (The Faith of Our Fathers, p. 66). "From all of which it must be abundantly clear that the Bible alone is not a safe and competent guide because it is not now and has never been accessible to all..." (The Faith of Millions, pp. 154-155). He chose to give us His writings by means of those whom He commissioned as His ambassadors. He gave them the same words which He received from the Father (John 17:8). He did not leave them as ordinary men subject to the frailties and fallacies of human nature, nor did He leave them to their own memories to recall His deeds and teaching; rather, He gave them the Holy Spirit who guided them into all truth (John 16:13), and brought to their remembrance all that He had said to them (John 14:26). The written words of the New Testament were not the product of mere chance, but were divinely purposed and planned.[3] (C2) Pope's directly addressed the issue of evolution I showed two versions of the RCC's views on evolution. Both contradicted each other in every way. If man evolved from lesser animals and this was directed by God then should not the Church be able to recognize that before accepting it? Why does the RCC have to wait for science before they know what is right or wrong? Conclusion: My opponent should address all my issues next round. I understand it is on myself for the BOP and I have given enough burden to give RCC a look of contradiction. I await my opponent. Sources: [1] http://www.merriam-webster.com...
