The subject of the argument is “Jesus Direct Flight”, or “Jesus, with a required stopover in Popeville”. Right?

No. Not at all.

The argument is "does God provide individual Christians guidance that is indistinguishable from their own ruminations, or does he provide his Church with a human hierarchy to guide them?"

And despite your denial "Trinity" and "pope" ARE germane by virtue of the fact you ascribe significance to the absence of the one in the Scripture, and ignore the absence of the other. That you do so without any reasoning, indeed only mockery, for this inconsistency demonstrates the vanity of your "argument."

Why yes he does! Courtesy of His Holy Spirit.

No pope or bishop or even priest required!

WHile the word “trinity” may not be found, certainly the VERY CLEAR PRINCIPLE of “GOD in three Persons” is all over Scripture.

Popey? Not so much. In fact — not at ALL. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Not in word, not in principle. There is no pope in Scripture. Catholic fantasy.

And absolutely, most certainly, not Pope (or priest or bishop) as a necessary go-between. That’s heresy, plain and simple.

And don’t even get me started on the heresy of worshipping, and praying to, Mary.
