Okay, so your solution is: Unless I get my teaching from the Catholic Church, then I’m bordering on heresy to even speak scriptures?

Then you also say that being a Protestant is “evil”?

The Pastors or teachers you listed in your screed, are not anyone I have ever followed or whose books I have read. But, you seem to be lumping me in with them. If my interpretation of a scripture is not what the Catholic Church says it is, then it’s wrong.

I find your analysis very narrow, close-minded, and determined to smear any Protestant by declaring only converting to the Catholic religion is an accurate interpretation of the scriptures.

Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone with such a warped sense of God’s teachings. Quite frankly, I feel very sorry for you .. I think you have missed out on the true joy of knowing Christ and learning the beauty of his Word.

Well, if you agree that Christ told Peter and his apostles to teach ONE truth and for this purpose He established ONE Church, and it was this ONE Church whose early Church Fathers (the early theologians) infallibly assembled the books in the New Testament after centuries of study and we have this expression of ONE truth in a Credo and Catechism, its hard to see how anything contradictory can be accommodated.

This is why Hillaire Belloc, the brilliant essayist in his book “Great Heresies” wrote that unlike other heresies, Protestantism “spawned a cluster of heresies.” It invites multiple and contradictory “truths.” This is an ineluctable and logical conclusion. Not something warped.
