Ephesians 4:28

Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.

This passage in Ephesians sets forward what the life of a thief who converts to Christianity should look like.

If the thief presumes himself to be Christian and yet continues to steal with little remorse, he should be exhorted individually first. If he does not repent and seek to correct his thievery, you should bring one or two witnesses with you and exhort him to repent again. If he still refuses to repent and return the goods that he has stolen, he should be brought before the entire church. If even still he refuses, he should be rejected from the church. This is in accordance with Matthew 18:15-20

What Catholics use what to guide there faith?

All Catholics use the Catechism of the Catholic Church ( was written for the purpose of summarizing the essential and basic teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.) They do claim their doctrines have sound Biblical support but that is not true since many of their doctrines are foreign to the Bible like Mary worship, prayers for the dead, the doctrineof Purgatory, worship of relics and images, the doctrine of the infallibility of the Roman Catholic Church, prayer beads (the Rosary), doctrine of the seven sacraments.The Catholic Church officially states that Church tradition is equal in authority to the Bible (I want to say not "equal" but "above" since they plainly ignore Scripture and change that which does not suit them hence they even changed God's Law). According to Jesus, Scripture is the line for measuring everything else. He judged religious traditions by comparing them to Scripture. When religious traditions contradicted Scripture, he condemned them. This shows very clearly that nothing is equal in authority to Scripture. The Bible stands alone as the standard by which all other things are to be judged.Catechism 80, 84, 86, 97
