post #4 is a start.

These discussions always come down to one fundamental issue. The issue is authority. Who decides what is revealed Truth. Are we each our own god or do we submit ourselves to Christ through the Church He founded? He did found a Church, not a book.

To separate oneself from His Church is to make oneself the infallible interpreter of His word. This of course is folly. Truth can't contrdict Truth.
