No, sometimes Catholics misinterpret the Bible, too. Rather, only Christ's one historic Church provides the authentic, binding, and authoritative interpretation of Scripture. So, then, how do we---Catholics and Protestants---know whether or not our personal interpretation is correct and binding? Only by comparing it with the authoritative teachings of Christ's one historic Church. Thus has it always been.
Quite a bit.
- First, go ahead and cite the biblical text which states that "Only terms and ideas used explicitly in the Bible may be used by Christians to describe their beliefs."
- Second, the Nativity of Jesus Christ is certainly described in the New Testament---do you really need me to provide you with chapter-and-verse on that fact?
Not an "adoption," but an adaptation. Big difference there.
- First, Google "Genetic Fallacy," since that is the particular logical fallacy you're engaged in here.
- Second, for example, see this.

You are indeed a slick one at twisting around the Scriptures with human reasoning to fit your man made religion.
All the verses you quoted about the first day of the week being the new day for Christians and then adding what the Bible does not say does not change the fact that the "weekly" Seventh Day was never Scripturally set aside for your "weekly" Suns Day. I speak of a Scriptural WEEKLY (week after week after week) Sabbath - Lk.4:16, Acts 15:21 and 17:2 - weekly.
Take for instance ,you misuse of Rev.1:10, where in the Scriptures is it said that it was Sunday? That it was on a Sunday was first claimed by a Cat. centuries ago and has nothing to do with the Scriptures whatsoever. The Day of the Lord, the Lord's Day, the beginning of the great tribulation (which is what John was describing in the Book of Revelation) is not known but only by the Father.
Of course the Lord's birth is recorded, that is not what I ask. Where is the annual celebration of it recorded in the Bible? Did Christ celebrate it, did the Apostles celebrate it, or is it just another man made Catholic tradition filled with many heathen traditions such as santa, an evergreen tree, etc.
The annual Dec.25 celebration can only be found as a celebration of the rebirth of the pagan sun god Baal when the days of sunshine begin to lengthen.
Your man made religion is far more dedicated to the traditions of and to the pagan sun-god than the SON of GOD!
