[Elsie]

One first has to realize that the foundational precept of Protestantism is that the Church has no legitimate authority.

That's not so!

It merely does NOT have UNLIMITED authority!

[Natural Law]

"It merely does NOT have UNLIMITED authority!"

Please kindly point our the limitations in the following:

"Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." - Matthew 18:18

Peace be with you
