I see a tiny flaw in the logic of your argument here.
On the one hand we have the inspired, inerrant, Holy Scriptures progressively revealed from the mouth of God to the mouth of the prophets by The Holy Spirit, and written down word by word in the language in which it was given, appearing from the time of Moses and Job until the death of the not-pope Beloved Apostle John The Theologian, at which time the Books of The Bible were closed with no further entries about 100 AD. That comprises about maybe 1,600 years of Divine Revelation.
On the other hand, we have about 1,900 years of uninspired, errant, fallible humans of limited intellect, knowledge, and vision of the future, baldly contradicting the Word of God as well as its faithful copiers, translators, and interpreters, to rewrite it and confuse the readers of its plain sense and common sense, assassinating its preachers and believers.
And all this is based on the cumulative effect of personal interpretations by influential people forcing their views on a credulous group of sycophants, calling their Romanist dominance "Sacred Tradition," denying the authority The God has fixed on His Word, and doing their say damndest to silence their opposition, condemning them all as "heretics."
I think you know what I'm going to tell you what to do with your twisted view as to who is doing all the inconsistent personal interpretation, whilst wagging their fingers at the reader adequately educated to make his/her own judgment on the reliability of the Bible as the sufficient rule of both faith and and practice.
That’ll leave an owe! ... On second thought, considering to whom it was addressed ...
verga; I’ll stick up for you!
You have no tiny flaws!
We have the Messiah naming Cephas "Rock" and promising to build his church upon that "Rock." We read the Messiah himself is the chief cornerstone and the apostles and prophets are the foundation. We have the Messiah saying the gates of hell would not prevail against this church. The Messiah gives the Apostle Peter his power to bind and loose and his keys to the kingdom of heaven, but you do not believe, it seems to me, that the words of the Messiah were efficacious in this respect, nor that his apostles appointed others' who appointed others' by the laying on of hands, until this day. Your tale is one of perpetual defeat and conspiracy, making heretics the heroes in some cases no doubt. There is one holy catholic apostolic church, from the days of the Apostles until this day. You have not presented any historical alternative, and that silence is deafening.
