Sorry. The Apostles are all dead. The apostolic scriptures are closed. We can no longer hear them. But we can read them. Sola Scriptura.

Catholicism: the other sacred teachings.

Then I guess Jesus lied when He told Peter he would send His Spirit to guide His Church to all Truth?

We hear the apostles in their successors, just as Jesus said. He built a Church and gave it the keys to lose and bind and sent it the Holy Spirit to guide it to all Truth, i.e., scriptural interpretation.

And YOPIOS?

Scripture talks eloquently about those who presume to reject the Church Christ built and granted authority to interpret and teach, and then attempt to interpret scripture without the sure teacher Christ ordained:

2Peter3: 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
