Of course not, as I stated, I wouldn’t trust a mere man such as myself or any other tom, dick or harry (Luther,Zwingle, Pastor Bill Bob down the street, etc) who claims the holy spirit guided him to the “truth” by reading the Bible...That kind of believing has resulted in thousands of denominations, who all cant have the fullness of “truth”. But what I do trust is the authority of the Church founded by Jesus Christ that was/is guided by the Holy Spirit. It couldn’t have been done no other way, or we would have had thousands of denominations from the get go and could not have been Jesus’s intent.
Define the church established by Christ? I’m not sure which you’re alluding to.
The Universal Church, commonly known as the Catholic Church.
Oh ok, well, I’ll have to disagree with that very strongly as their teachings are very anti biblical. I’d encourage you to read about why. There are numerous articles on it.
At the end of the day, salvation is so simple that a child can understand it. No theology degree needed.
“their teachings are very anti biblical.”
Well thats your opinion; others see it differently obviously.
If salvation is so simple a child could understand, the NT would only need to consist of a sentence or two.
