“Do you suppose that Jesus would say, “Well, once I give the Church this infallible scripture, there really is no need anymore for infallible interpretations of scripture.”

Well, if you believe that a mortal man is capable of interpreting it for many, then yes, that is what you believe.

Sola Scriptura is based on the living presence of Christ in every person. That’s the part that was left out of this apologists argument.

YOU:

ME: so how do five hundred and counting, denominations by fallible men, show an sort of ‘living presence of Christ’ if they cant agree on the essentials of the faith?

Yet you criticize, unjustly, the Pope, who was ordained by Christ himself through Peter to be INFALLIBLE in church teaching (and only in certain situations)guided by the Holy Spirit, down to today.

That's what Scripture teaches. That’s the part that was left out of this apologists Catholic's argument.

2 Corinthians 1:22 and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

Galatians 4:6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”

Ephesians 3:17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

John 14:17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?

Ephesians 3:17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

2 Timothy 1:14 By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.

It goes on and on, but I suspect that tradition teaches otherwise.

Sola Scriptura is based on the living presence of Christ in every person. No, it was a doctrine invoked by Luther as a justification for his break with Rome. Traditionally, every sect has developed around a Zwingli, a Luther or a Calvin who claims to have special inspiration. Enevtually, of course, one get to the point where it it claimed that each Christian is the equivalent of Luther. Even now, however, most new churches coalesce around their own "prophets." Instead of hierarchy, we get a cult of personality.
