Now, what about that Arian heresy? What did you guys do to refute it and where can I read about it?

So what's the big deal? There was false teaching back then. Things don't change much do they? I, with the help of the Holy Spirit (private interpretation)could have figured it out without the counsel convening. You people are too much. Back then and now.

And as long as you and the Holy Spirit are OK, nothing else matters. This is the radical individualim of Protestantism that destroys the concept of Communion of the Saints.

OK, Steven, you and the Holy Spirit have a good thing going. What about the next new Christian who comes along? Maybe he ain't so good at figuring things out and might be susceptible to false teachers.

Wouldn't it be a good thing, a Christian thing, to have prepared for this new Christian information about exactly what teachings are wrong, how to recognize them, and why they are wrong? Maybe even write this information down for use by future Christians?

Nope. Let them and the Holy Spirit figure it out anew.

Really. So the non Catholic Christians refuted it by telling everybody to just read your bible and the Holy Spirit will guide you? This is interesting since the NT Canon hadn’t been closed yet and the bible consisted of the OT. Any documentation to back this up or is this just a hunch?
