"Protestants generally do not dispute all which the RCC proclaims to be indisputable truth, nor can preach & teach those truths."

I did not say that Protestantism disputes all Catholic doctrine, I said what I said; "the foundational precept of Protestantism is that the Church has no legitimate authority."

I stand behind it and the content of the posts in response prove it to be a truth.

Peace be with you.

The middle ground appears once again. It is between that which you first wrote (in your last to me) and that which you underlined there. It is a matter of principles compared, not a matter of semantics employed.

There is concession on part of Protestants to some limited legitimate authority, found clearly to be known of, in your own words.

When we look further, such authority is limited only by that which is spoken of in John 14;

I ask only rhetorically, not for examination to please myself;
What does in His name mean? Much relies upon that answer, in just how words possibly used to describe are understood. Properly understood, we find the mystical, we have the answer arrive to us, precisely how Peter came to know the truth, the answer to the question asked

I said what I said; "the foundational precept of Protestantism is that the Church has no legitimate authority."

Is the converse true as well?

"Protestants have NO authority at all!"?
