“Which one of the gifts is the gift to distinguish between true and false writings? God gave the gift to interpret Scripture to the Church, the RCC not “some individuals in the congregations.”

Not so, not so.
“ to another, the discerning of spirits;” refers to the ability to determine inspiration of prophecy. But you should know this just as you should be able to see that when Paul said “one” the unsaid “man” or person was understood. This is the most basic English.

1 Cor. 12:10, “To another (man, person),....” not to the whole congregation, not to the whole church but an individual person.

Paul was speaking of individual persons (1 Cor.12:7),
“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal”

CYC:

I just now saw your response to my question, sorry.

You first said “the gift to distinguish between true and false writings” is one of the gifts Paul spoke of in 1 Corinthians 12:10. The above, your answer to my asking which gift are you referring to in that verse?

What?...now...

You come up with a different meaning that has nothing to do with “distinguishing between true and false writings.” You
can’t defend the heresy of private judgment. Paul did not
name the Church’s God given gift to interpret Scripture in
1 Cor 12:10.

You are speaking the truth. Funny that our new FRiend has no qualms about posting the various "prophecies" of his "prophets" - even one who is claimed to be for the "Protestants" - but he disputes the specific gifts God said he gave to the church, to build up his body of believers claiming that only "his" Roman Catholic Church hierarchy has that gift. Funny thing about exclusionary doctrines, they usually come back to bite you in time.
