I don't know what you mean by that.
I was always told I could never intetpret scripture, unless the priest was there to interpret for me. Did that change, because here you are interpreting scripture?
I don't interpret Scripture of my own understanding. I lean on the wisdom of the Church. There is plenty of learning and teaching in the last 2000 years.
If you spent a little time in Colorado Springs, maybe you heard about the Navigators in Col Spr.
I know them. I'm sorry you lost the Church. In my experience, this is done in ignorance just as some Christians believe what they are told about Mohammed and follow the Muslims. I don't say that in insult... just observation and analogy.
I nearly lost my way in the Church. It's a long story but it really came down to a question of authority. I realized there had to be a Church with real authority or Christ had not fulfilled His promise. From there, I researched the early Church fathers and rebuilt my Catholic faith. Once it had been built on sand. Now it is build on solid ground and I know whereof I share my experience of Christ's Bride and the wisdom She has shared through the centuries. Yes, there are fallen men in the Church and yes, some have done very evil things. However, as an institution built on doctrines and dogmas revealed by the Spirit, She has never wavered.
All believers have authority in Christ. We are all ambassadors for Christ.
So why does there have to be a centralized church authority? For what purpose?
