Taking upon myself the authority? Perhaps you didn't read my last post. I won't repeat it, as it seems it was unimportant to you the first time.

Let us consider your post 351 before that:

No. Most of the problem is that people have rejected their own God-given ability to understand His word in favour of letting someone else tell them what God is saying.

This says that you can create your own doctrine and not rely on the Church at all to do so. You are going against your own preachings and it is not pretty.

But let me ask you something while you're here: When did the Church begin? Could you give me Scriptures, if possible, to back up your answer? Thanks.

Sure. It began in at the latest in Matthew 16 (arguably speaking it began with the calling of the first Apostles), and the Church was commissioned at Pentecost (Acts 2). Sorry if it escaped you.

It says NOTHING OF THE SORT, that a person can CREATE THEIR OWN DOCTRINE, Mark. Either you are reading pixated posts, or you simply cannot comprehend. Neither one is pretty and is unbecoming someone who seems to fancy himself a lecturer of non-Catholics.

Sorry if it escaped you.

You know what? On second thought, I don't really care when you believe what you believe happened. Your flippant attitude has worn thin with me tonight. Have a good one.
