“Church teachings inform us how a particular passage of Scripture is to be interpreted....Church teaching provides for a relatively constant understanding of what, exactly, is meant and what should be believed.”

Your church may give you a constant, but what if Rome is totally and constantly wrong? What if you have trusted a false gospel?

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

-—Acts 17:10-11

I compare everything I am taught to the Word of God to see whether those things are so. And rather than trusting men I pray I am one of those “taught of God” in the sense of John 6:45.

Post 12 did not even discuss the Church. It was talking about church teachings from allegedly Sola Scriptura groups. All of which claim to be influenced solely by the Scriptures.

Perhaps you would care to reap pond to that post rather than going on yet another of your tiresome, prideful diatribes.

Prov 29:23 “ Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit.”

II Tim 3:1-5 “ Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times. Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked, Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness, Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God: Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.”

Or, as Our Lady said, “ He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.” (Lk 1:51)
