“True. But we have Christ’s promise that His Church will always teach the Truth.”

Since the book of Revelation disagrees with your comment please give me the chapter and verse on that promise.

Jesus Christ doesn’t promise the Church will always teach truth as Revelation states. Scripture says that Christ is the truth.

John 14:6 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 1:14 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)

14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son,full of grace and truth.

“the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth”

That refers to all of us believers not the institutional building called a church.

Thou are Peter the little pebble (petros) and upon this rock (Jesus’s truth petra, rock of Gibraltar). Jesus Christ uses a bunch of us little pebbles to build his giant rock his Church.

1 Corinthians 12:12 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)

12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

Christ is the Truth. And He established His Church to teach His Truth until he returns. Scripture says the Church is the foundation of Truth.

“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.” 1Tim 3:15

Christ established a Church. Christ did not establish a Bible.

Are you familiar with gender in the Greek language? Do you know Jesus spoke Aramaic? Do you know what Kepha is?
