Are you speaking of the RCC using their "God-given sense to understand the BIble"? Why the need for catechism and doctrines, and traditions, and magistrates, and popes, and cardinals, and saints, and rosaries, and visions, and pomp and circumstance if you use your "God-given sense to understand the Bible." ??
No really. I would LOVE a good, honest, well-reasoned answer to that question. From Scripture ONLY, if that is possible.

It doesn't bother you that insisting on "Scripture only" is not only not necessary, but unbiblical, self-contradictory nonsense? You might as well ask me to balance my checkbook using only those digits which are neither odd nor even!

Please see my post 436.
Those who believe in Sola Scriptura disagree amongst themselves. They all just read the Bible and get guidance from the Holy Spirit.
And they disagree.
So either:
1. Truth is unknowable and God is the author of chaos
Or
2. God left us a teaching church, with the authority to settle disputes.
#2 is what i see in the New Testament.
