“Now — what about you? Who’s your authority? How do you know? Are you your own infallible pope?”
I trust my understanding of Scripture over the opinions of some Zyklon B sales rep or a member of the Hitler Youth. With confidence I guarantee you I have spent more time studying the Bible than the last five popes combined. Sometime you ought to look up a former priest, even those with a high level of education, and ask him how much time he spent being taught the Bible. His answer will shock you. My teens have spent more time in pure bible study than many priests.
Ok, I get it. You are your own pope.
BTW — Godwin’s Law. You lose.
