Here’s more of the TRUTH just for you.
The Holy Bible is a CATHOLIC document. Catholics determined what books would be in the New Testament, and they were canonized by a CATHOLIC pope. So any protestant that accepts the NT and agrees and it’s 27 books accepts the authority of the Catholic Church, i.e., the Magisterium.
NKP_Vet, honestly, once again you provide more argumentation against being a RC as your Roman reasoning is frankly absurd. Having the same judgment on an issue as someone else does not mean you accept the authority of that person or institution. Agreeing with the judgment of an Italian judge or court on an issue does not mean accept the authority of that judge or court, any more than agreeing with the judgment of Rome on many issues means accepting the authority of her.
And instead of submitting to Rome on such, souls examined Truth claims and came to their own judgment based upon evidence. Which is also how the NT church began, being in dissent from those who had authority, sitting in the seat of Moses. (Mt. 23:2) While in this case they certainly could agree that their office was valid and had authority, yet that did not mean unconditional submission to it, as submission to the authority of men is always conditional in Scripture.
It is Rome's novel assuredly infallible magisterium that has gone off the rails in this, thus resulting in such absurd reasoning as you display trying to defender her in required submission to this unScriptural autocratic entity, which has presumed to infallibly declare she is and will be perpetually infallible whenever she speaks in accordance with her infallibly defined (scope and subject-based) formula, which renders her declaration that she is infallible, to be infallible, as well as all else she accordingly declares. Quite the spurious system.
oh good grief. get off the catholic high horse.
the Bible was put together way before the "roman catholic" church was formed. if you're referring to Trent as making the canon official then your argument really falls apart.
Yet they FAILED to add TRADITION when they were the only game in town.
Too bad...
