Thank you for your reply.

All comments have proven that a very large number of people think they are really an ‘infallible pope’ of the scriptures.

There are literally thousands of different churches claiming God’s word is true. Each with a different interpretation of God’s true word.

Within those thousands of different churches literally >millions of people >argue about the true meaning of scripture.

The point of my question (are you infallible?) is to have you understand that you seem to be claiming to be ‘pope of the scriptures.’

To cite a passage in the Bible such as: “Jesus is Lord” is an actual Truth. However, to carry it further and claim that Jesus did not establish a Church with authority here on earth is to use a truth to create a falsehood.

Did God a build a Church on earth for people? Did God place people in charge of His Church? Did God put one person in charge of the Church to speak with infallible authority?

I say: Yes! & that person is the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church.
One, Holy, Catholic & Apostolic Church.

Jesus Christ did not walk the earth to sow confusion. Jesus Christ build one authentic Church & the Church would have a singular voice through both time & geography.

You quote numerous Biblical verses: But at the end, everything you say can be summed-up by saying, ‘you seem to think you’re pope-of-the-scriptures.’

I believe that the true understanding of the scriptures is conveyed by the Roman Catholic Church.

You say you be a Bible-based Christian. = Please read once again the events about Noah’s ark. You may notice that there was only one ark. There were not numerous little boats bobbing about in different directions.

Remember: It’s One, Holy, Catholic & Apostolic Church.

The FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH is important to ALL Christians.

+ I recommend you go to the Vatican website and read The Catholic Catechism paragraph 766,
“The Church is born primarily of Christ’s total self-giving for our salvation, anticipated in the institution of the Eucharist and fulfilled on the Cross.
“The origin and growth of the Church are symbolized by the blood and water which flowed from the open side of the crucified Jesus” “For it was from the side of Christ as he slept the sleep of death upon the Cross that there came forth the ‘wondrous sacrament of the whole Church.’”
As Eve was formed from the sleeping Adam’s side, so the Church was >born from the pierced heart of Christ hanging dead on the Cross.

Beautiful, absolutely.

Numerous Christians both Catholics & Protestants think the Church was ‘created’ on Pentecost Sunday. When actually, The Church was born from the Heart of Jesus Christ on the Cross.

Finally you speak the truth, you think the pope and his word in infallible but you REFUSE to accept the word of God as being infallible. You put your faith in a mere man, a sinner. I put my faith in God, His word, and His Son all perfectly righteous and sinless.

John 12:47-49
And if anyone hears My words and does not believe,[a] I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.

Peace and keep studying.
