The judgment of “Biblically faithful” requires an authority to judge.

Catholics recognize the Holy Spirit leading the Church through the Pope to be that authority here on earth.

Non-Catholics, ultimately, rely upon themselves to judge.

Keep that in mind when attempting to discuss with BibChr - he is his own authority on what the Bible means. Disagreement with his interpretation is the same as disagreeing with the Bible.

Someone who goes far beyond their own personal interpretation of Scripture and all the way to developing their own translation of the Bible clearly has something of a god-complex going on.

Fundamentally incorrect. Ask a Christian, and he will point straight to the Bible. As God meant His children to do. Note that the Bible was not addressed to a magisterium, but to God’s people. Read the first verses of any of the church or general epistles, to see my point.

A Christian goes to God’s Word for truth, as God intended. A Roman Catholic goes to version #49789 of a centuries-long game of “Telephone.” It’s no wonder the results are so different.
