it's not about you! that's the whole point that folks need to understand no one man has any sort of superior idea of what scripture is or means.

yet every day some new break away schismatics run off after some looped out pastor who insist he alone is the prophet who REALLY knows what scripture means. that is no less arogant and idiotic than is saying that one guy with a pointy hat can speak infailably with regard to doctrine.

that's why the orthodox hold only the 7 ecumenical councils where hundreds of Bishops from every place Christiainity had been spread to got together and decided these things.

Even in scripture we see questions of doctrine being decided in councils. The first council at Jerusalem where James Paul and Peter attended.

These folks were all inspired to Christianity by God and they still were failable in matters of doctrine INDIVIDUALLY.

I can't pin down what you are trying to say. No wonder I usually stick to the topic of Mary. It is the topic that is most clear to me in defining RC doctrinal problems.
