“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.”

CYC:
“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.”

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.

This was not “private judgment”, it was a gift from God to the individual like Paul's ability to heal or raise a dead person.

And you know this how? Perhaps you will explain what Paul meant at 1 Cor. 12:10?

“Paul did not name the Church’s God given gift to interpret Scripture in 1 Cor 12:10.”

That's what I said, he pointed to gifted individuals within the Christian church not some magisterium or infallible pronouncements of Popes.

“You come up with a different meaning that has nothing to do with “distinguishing between true and false writings.”

Prophecy, true and false, the inspiration (spirit) of writings....all would fall under what Paul called ‘diakriseis’, making a judgement or distinguishing one purported inspiration or one spirit from another.
