Could we please have the official magisteriums commentary on that chapter?

Certainly... as soon as you give me the Bible's official commentary on human cloning.

Do you see my point? I think you misunderstand how the Magisterium works, friend. The charism of infallibility protects the Church from teaching (as formal dogma, binding on all the faithful under pain of heresy/sin) anything that's FALSE--but it doesn't promise an instant encyclopedia of every last possible implication of every last verse. You'd need an infinite number of pages to do that, for one thing! But as you see from the examples of human cloning, in-vitro fertilization, etc., there are some things which the Bible (as well as the Sacred Tradition from which it came, and which predated the NT) can't address until it's invented, or comes into existence. In other words: you're asking for an imaginary thing, if you ask the Church to give you every "positive" interpretation of every verse. The Church occasionally gives a positive interpretation of this-or-that verse, when the need arises... but there's no "infinite encyclopedia" of them, no.

Now, if you'd like to know if there are any ERRORS which the Church of Christ has condemned, those are quite a bit easier to find.

Wrong!

Please see Immaculate Conception, Assumption of Mary, indulgences, for starters.

There is zero scriptural support for either of these. Catholic apologists admit that for the immaculate conception.

The rcc has used allegory to make these dogmas. A very dangerous way to interpret Scripture. Interesting that the pope has spoken ex cathedra a handful of times and the majority have been on Mary.

The Catholic church has left its parishioners high and dry as far as interpreting Scripture. They condemn YOPIOS and yet won’t even provide an infallible one for their congregants.

Well, then, Catholics have no complaint when anyone wants to interpret Scripture as the Holy Spirit leads them.

INSTANT? For REAL?

It's not like the RCC has had almost 2,000 years to work on it.....

No, I think You misunderstand ...Rome says scripture can only be interpreted by the church..not individuals ...and yet they have never compiled an INFALLIBLE commentary of the scriptures...so every priest, every bible study, every theologian is just giving his own personal interpretation of the s Scriptures..

Rome is caught with her hand in the cookie jar.. with her priests giving their own personal interpretation of the scripture ... you know YOPIS
