"So, I am forced to conclude that nearly each one of the non-Catholics has his/her own rules..."

They have only one rule; Catholics, from Pope to pauper, must not interpret Scripture.

The irony is that every affirmation of Sola Scriptura, and every "show me in Scripture" demand to attempt to refute Catholicism is an appeal to the authority of the Catholic episcopacy that established the Canon and the Magisterium that interpreted the Scripture for the establishment of Christian orthodoxy. They would have us believe that the Church has an on / off switch that only a Protestant knows when and how to activate and then shriek and insult when we can't take them seriously.

Can’t take them seriously is right.

Exactly -- they deny the Apostolic interpretation handed down by Christ and replace it with each and every one of the myriad ones of their own.

There are plenty of rules but that one is toward the top of the list...

That's because you guys can't interpret scripture...Scripture is spiritually discerned...You do a fine job of twisting and wresting the scripture to your own destruction tho...

So where does the authority come from to establish your Catholic episcopacy and the Canon of the scriptures and you magisterium???
