And you guys on FR talk as tho your religion is immune to this change...’It’s only the Protestants’...

As you will see in the near future, Martin Luther had the right idea...But even Marty’s religion(s) as we can see is falling by the wayside...

They (you) all have one thing in common...They are kissing the bible goodbye...

Martin Luther had the right idea...

Did Jesus leave us a fallible Church, to leave Christians in perpetual confusion?

Or did a fallible man leave us a fallible, non-biblical, man-made tradition of Sola Scriptura?

What does the evidence say?

Matthew 28:18-20

"All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. Go therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world."

The Apostles are commissioned to teach all nations everything Christ commanded them, until the consummation of the world. The Apostles taught with Christ's authority, and their successors (i.e., Matthias) have Christ with them forever.

John 14-16

"Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be condemned."

Christ threatens those who refuse to accept the Apostles' preaching of the gospel with damnation.

John 14:16, 17

"I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you forever. The spirit of truth . . . he shall abide with you, and shall be in you"... "But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.

John 16:13

"But when he, the spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth."

1 Timothy 3:15

"the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth";

Do the Apostles and their successors teach the truth?

Matthew 16:18

…And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."…

Christ promised that the Spirit of Truth would be with His Church until the end of the world. If His Church definitively teaches error, have the gates of hell prevailed against it?

Matthew 18:16:18

"But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses that every fact may be confirmed. "If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. "Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.…

Would Jesus threaten those who refuse to obey an erroneous institution with damnation?

Infallibility
