So show me how it’s taken out of context. The context is that the disciples were discussing putting the gentiles under the law like Catholics try to put people under the law. The “context” applied rather well to our discussion. True believers don’t listen to the RCC.
>> You nor I have the authority to interpret Scripture.<<
Oh but we do.
Acts 17:11 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
Even the Bereans were commended for not just taking mans word but to search the scriptures to see if what they said was true. Search the scriptures and you, as we have, will see that the RCC is not to be trusted. It’s obvious to anyone searching for truth that we are indeed told to “search the scriptures” with obvious implications that we would be able to “interpret scripture”.
>> God gave that authority to the Church.<<
Show me from scripture the source of that.
>> Private Judgment is heresy.<<
Not according to scripture as proven in the above passage in Acts.
Holy Scripture doesn’t interpret itself. God gave the
authority to interpret Scripture to the Catholic Church,
it’s her book.
Returning in post 1380 to say you said something else to cover up your
first comment, giving everyone the meaning, your private
judgment of Acts 15:8-9.
The constant fruit of Private Judgment, a heresy, is ERROR.
