Not true at all... He told His Apostles (and Peter in particular) that whatever they bound on earth would be bound in Heaven ... He promised that the Gates of Hell would never prevail against His Church ... He promised to be with His Church until the end of ages. All these promises were not made to the nation of Israel. Perhaps your church is capable of teaching error. Mine is not.

Yeah, so where's the part about being free from error? Why does the New Testament teach that we must be on guard against error if we're automatically protected from it?

So do the teachings about selling indulgences still stand? What about the other documented errors taught by the church through the centuries?

Your church's claim about being free from error is its biggest error.

Why does the New Testament teach that we must be on guard against error if we're automatically protected from it?

If He is with us, error is not. But error is constantly appearing from jumped up, self appointed experts who think they have access to the truth, but don't. They have a long pedigree, beginning with the Arians and Nestorians. The heretics have been amongst us from the beginning, and it has been the ongoing job of the Church ("my" Church) to correct their errors.

So do the teachings about selling indulgences still stand?

What teaching? That such behaviour is sinful? The "selling" of spiritual goods has been consistently condemned, by my Church, since Apostolic times. So yes, those teachings still stand.

What about the other documented errors taught by the church through the centuries?

The so-called documentation is in error.
