Jesus did not write a 'Bible'. Jesus selected Apostles and used the Holy Spirit to teach through them. Then and now.

Correct. However, the Apostles Jesus selected did pen writings which the Church recognizes as scripture. The Holy Spirit teaches through the Apostles writings now, as He taught through the Apostles when they lived.

I understand your point but differ. I don't believe the Holy Spirit would provide so many different interpretations of what the Apostles taught as are apparent today. If the Holy Spirit was providing the teaching, there would be only one interpretation. Right now many are claiming the Holy Spirit with contradictory message. That is not possible.

I do believe Jesus founded a living Church, with Peter as the head and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. The Church decided the Canon and will 'bind and loose' on earth. Jesus will still teach through people and not exclusively with a text book. Truth cannot contradict truth. Truth must be one.
