>>Your opinion, brother, which is not an infallible one:)<<

That’s why I leave the infallible stuff to those who wrote the scriptures. After all Jesus did tell them not to worry about what to say or write but that the Holy spirit would give them the words. He didn’t tell anyone else that.

Ah, but who told you it was infallible?

See, it is easy to fall back on “I’ll take the Bible, Sola Scriptura all the way, baby.” but it doesn’t take into account the reality that what one knows about it, one has learned from someone else.

We all need and have received guidance regarding Scripture and none of us has come to perfect understanding of it, on our own or otherwise.

So, the written Word is indeed inerrant and infallible, however, those who read it are not.

If you claim the Holy Spirit as your guide and teacher to the truths held within Scripture, you have made a claim no different than that of the Catholic Church.
