No. Which is why Christ built a Church and gave it authority to lose and to bind. When there are seeming discrepancies in scripture, we need the Church to pass on the proper understanding.

"Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position."
--2 Peter 3:15-17

Lots of lawless men and errors these days. Thank the Lord He built a Church to guide us, and didn't leave us to our own personal fallible interpretations of scripture.

Holy Spirit is more than able to impress on individuals and groups what HIS priority meaning is.

If He’s not doing so . . . folks may have spiritual wax in their spiritual ears . . . or Holy Spirit may not be making everything the priority the humans think He needs to at that time in that context.

The Pharisees JUST KNEW Jesus HAD to make certain petty things a PRIORITY.

GOD had a different opinion.

THE ROMAN SYSTEM HAS BEEN

MUCH MORE FALLIBLE

in my observation

than the Proddy groups individually or lumped together.

A self-righteous, bureaucratic, political, self-serving, magicsterical power-mongering elite

is ALWAYS going to be more fallible than earnest common folks taking God at His Word and trying to work out their own salvation with fear and trembling as God instructed.

As God in His time will make abundantly clear.

Already, it's clear that the Vatican is headed down the globalist yellow brick road.

THAT'S a LOT more fallible than I want to be anywhere near.

It doesn't look like there is anything to get wrong on those two scriptures. One clearly says "In the name of The Father The Son and The Holy Ghost". The other clearly says "In The Name of Jesus Christ".

Yes there are lots of ignorant people about, distorting scripture, in order to build a faith on the very distortions they commit.

God gives us the ability, through the Holy Spirit as our guide, to lead us into His truths. what is needed is the Holy Spirit as our authority on understanding His Word. not the Church.

Then how'd the RCC miss the boat with corrupt papacies and stuff like the Inquisition?

Where's the justification of that kind of behavior for people who don't toe the doctrinal line?
