and you know this how??....the only scripture writings that you have to read were given to you be the Catholic church...and they read the same writings, and ONLY they are authorized to interpret them.
Uhhh. No. The Scripture says this -- and Scripture was given to us by God... remember -- "God-breathed"? Seems to me also that the Catholic Church wasn't around when God inspired the writers of the Old Testament. Just like the Catholic church wasn't around when God inspired the writers of the New Testament.
Now. Back to your question. Do you deny that Christ was born sinless? If so, you deny God.
In Romans 3:23, we read:
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"
All. All have sinned. Except for Christ.
And in 2 Cor. 5:21 we read
"For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
So... the Scriptures, given to us by God (despite the Roman Catholic Church) tells us this. Seems pretty plain to me.
Try reading it sometime.
Happy New Year!

That is total nonsense.
Only the Holy Spirit can interpret the Biblical scriptures.
King James Bible, Ephesians 4:30A message from the Bible for you, do not grieve the Holy Spirit by not acknowledging that He is the one that interprets the Bible.
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God
Acts 7:51Catholicism is creating a new class of leaders and followers, in the manner of the Pharisees of old.
You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you.
Then according to that logic, 1st century souls should have submitted to the Jews and their historical magisterium:
..because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. (Romans 3:2)
Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 9:4-5)
