Isn't it the same god you're referring to in the OT, NT, and catechism? And if so, how do you figure there's anything coming even close to "objective" about any of it, especially when you pick and choose which holy books/people are your guiding force?
Yes, we believe there is only one God and that He does not change. We try to understand Him as best as we can, and as a Catholic, I believe the Church has a divine connection to God and is the main pillar of truth, taking precedence over the bible. The bible is a difficult to understand book that can be interpreted many different ways. That's why we believe Jesus left us the Church to guide us in a way that the bible, by itself, cannot.

I'm sorry; this really bugs me. Here, you start a thread on a discussion forum about something you know perfectly well will be a bit of a hot topic, especially coming from you, because most of us here are aware of your tendency to either stay away from or be extremely vague about the more controversial things. Then you answer with "I'm Catholic", "catechism", "no sola scriptura", etc., same as you do with every other tough topic you involve yourself in, and then you can't be bothered to answer honest questions about your views- the ones you started an entire thread about- without turning away from the TV. Why bother starting the thread in the first place if you didn't intend to take it seriously? Don't you regard our, people you claim to care about, eternal lives important enough to be earnest, at least?
