Matthew 28 records Jesus giving HIS authority to the Church to teach and baptize.

there is not one example of anyone in the NT reading the Scriptures and deciding on their own what they meant.

if the Church has the authority of Jesus to teach, we MUST LEARN.

we are not instructed to read the Scriptures and decide what WE think they say.

i know that hurts the EGO of man.

the problem non-Catholics have is they don’t understand the Church is the Body of Christ. oh, they give lip service to this doctrine, but they really don’t understand the implications of the doctrine.

LOL!

Truer words were never NOT SPOKEN. Catholics understand the Church the Body of Christ?! You don't even know when it began, how it began, why it began, and when it is going to end! And yet YOU understand it?! lol
