“dissent from which necessarily makes one a renegade. Which is not what Scripture teaches.”

Which is exactly what scripture does teach. But feel free. “The flesh availeth nothing”.

“dissent from which necessarily makes one a renegade. Which is not what Scripture teaches.” Which is exactly what scripture does teach. But feel free. “The flesh availeth nothing”.

Then you have just nuked the church, which began in dissent from the very magisterium which sat in the seat of Moses, as they followed a holy anointed man in a hairy garment in the desert eating insects, but who preached a Scriptural message by the power of God, and reproved those so sat in magisterial authority, and claimed that God could raise up children to Abraham from stones (not the Rolling Stones).

And who pointed to another holy "renegade," an itinerant preacher from Galilee, whose authority the official magisterium rejected, (Mk. 11:28-33) and who was reproved by this Nazarene, but who established His claims upon Scriptural substantiation in word and in power, as did the apostles and early church. (Mt. 22:23-45; Lk. 24:27,44; Jn. 5:36,39; Acts 2:14-35; 4:33; 5:12; 15:6-21;17:2,11; 18:28; 28:23; Rm. 15:19; 2Cor. 12:12, etc.)

And the Scriptures He invoked in "the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms" were established as such without an assuredly infallible magisterium, but due to their Divine qualities and attestation, like as a true man of God is.

And by raising up men from without the magisterium (as important as that is) to reprove them truth was preserved, and thus the church itself began, but after the same manner it has been preserved. And at the time of the Reformation Rome certainly was worthy of reproof, and forced a separation due to her hard hearted impenitence.
