I find it hard to believe that some people actually place the entire responsibility for knowing the Scriptures upon those whom they have been convinced are the only ones capable of interpreting Scripture to them. They hear what they are told, read only what they are told to read and if, God forbid, they come across a verse that appears to go against what they have been told is settled dogma, rather than study it further calling on the Holy Spirit to illuminate it to them, they decide that it must not really mean what it says because "my" church cannot ever be wrong about anything. How debilitating is that? Yet, we see exactly that mindset every day on this forum.
The tired, ragged and thread-worn assertion that without an infallible magesterium there would be total theological chaos, totally disregards the work of the Holy Spirit in revealing truth to those who earnestly seek it. I rejoice in knowing that the truth of the blessed Gospel is plain to all who desire to know it. If Jesus could use poor fisherman to spread the good news, why must today require a special class of theologians to relay it?
Yet trying to determine what one precisely considers official teaching can be difficult.
The Gospel itself is beautiful in its simplicity. It doesn't need to be made so complicated by anyone.
God never complicated it. Believe in Jesus and you will be saved. That's all there is to it.
