Neither have we.

Of course you have. You have to take what the magesterium teaches you on pure, blind faith, or else you are relying on "private interpretation".

First, I'm assuming your not Universal Unitarian.

And I'd be curious to know how loosey-goosey your preachers are allowed to be with their personal interpretations.

[MarkBsnr]

“But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth.” 1 Timothy 3:15

I have the faith of the first Christians in the same institution and in the same tradition that was founded by Our Lord. I have faith in the institution that wrote the Bible and compiled it and passed it down through the millennia to me now.

I have faith that the Church that was created by the Lord Jesus Christ is the pillar and foundation of His Truth. I have faith that when the Bible admonishes against private interpretation that it is for the very best of reasons. I have pure and blind faith in the Lord God Almighty.

Thanks for the compliment, by the way. I appreciate it, although I’m not sure that you meant it in quite the way that I’m taking it.
