[Dr. Eckleburg]

It's fascinating to most Protestants that RCs look so earnestly towards "authority" outside of Scripture. It's almost as if the RCC gives points for being mindlessly submissive and compliant.

Since you seem set on taking the words of men in place of the truth of Scripture, try the Westminster Confession of Faith, as good an understanding of God's will as can be found outside of Scripture, probably because every line is founded on Scripture.

CHAPTER ONE
OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURE

"IV. The authority of the Holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed, and obeyed, depends not upon the testimony of any man, or Church; but wholly upon God (who is truth itself) the author thereof: and therefore it is to be received, because it is the Word of God.[9]

IX. The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself: and therefore, when there is a question about the true and full sense of any Scripture (which is not manifold, but one), it must be searched and known by other places that speak more clearly.[23]

X. The supreme judge by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits, are to be examined, and in whose sentence we are to rest, can be no other but the Holy Spirit speaking in the Scripture.[24]

[9] 2PE 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2TI 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 1JO 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 1 TH 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Since you seem set on taking the words of men in place of the truth of Scripture

Do you not realize that you just quoted from the WCF, which is merely the "words of men"? Do you not see the irony of accusing us of "taking the words of men" and then quoting to us from the "words of men"?

Instead of wasting your time posting something to me from the Westminster confession, written by men whose authority I do not recognize, with whom I do not agree, why don't you simply answer adiaireton8's question?

1 Corinthians 1:10

[Campion]

The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself: and therefore, when there is a question about the true and full sense of any Scripture (which is not manifold, but one), it must be searched and known by other places that speak more clearly.

This is completely evasive. "It must be searched and known by other places that speak more clearly" ... who does the searching, who does the knowing, who decides which other places "speak more clearly," and, those other "more clear" places having been found, who is responsible for determining what they mean?
