terycarl: absolutely not,
absolutely not what? Specify what you are denying. Are you affirming that being the instrument and steward of Holy Writ makes you the infallible interpreters of it, and the indisputable supreme authority? If not, then you are arguing against your promotion of Rome in this regard.
the Catholic Church is infallible because Christ said so....Now, one cannot accept something valid without the Catholic Church endorsement because ONLY the Catholic Church is infallible
But that is based upon an interpretation of what Christ said. What is the basis for your assurance of faith that Rome is the one true church, etc.?
who else....there were no Christians for 1,600 years other than Catholics. Would Christ have allowed HIS church to fall into a state of apostasy for that period of time...I think not.
