Aren't you, likewise, calling others to assent to what you say Scripture says?

Yes, insofar as it is warranted by the evidence, with a heart for Truth, as in Scripture.

"These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." (Acts 17:11)

Unlike Rome, the apostles did not call for assent of faith based upon her self-proclaimed premise of assured infallibility, but,

"But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God." (2 Corinthians 4:2)

"I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say." (1 Corinthians 10:15)

"For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power." (1 Corinthians 4:20)

If not, what is your point - and why should we bother listening to you?

Yes, insofar as what i say is like that of RCs defense of such things as prayer to departed saints , distinctively titling NT pastors "priests , etc.

Now that hopefully this has penetrated the Roman firewall against reason, either answer the questions you have avoided or go your own way, as it is your manner of argumentation and the foundational premise behind your position that is not Scriptural.

Yes, insofar as it is warranted by the evidence, with a heart for Truth, as in Scripture.

The evidence as determined by daniel1212, what scripture says according to daniel1212.

This is all you've offered; I think it must be all you can offer. Is it?:

The evidence according to daniel1212, what scripture says according to daniel1212 with "the basis for assurance of truth" an internet persona called daniel1212.

No wonder Christ did not teach this: "You are the authority and basis of truth" - or each individual in the unscriptural doctrine of Sola Scriptura.

Contra this is the Church. Our basis for our assurance of truth is Christ, the head of His Church, from Him and through His Church, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

For me, the choice is easy; and I'm sorry, but you lose your own challenge, to choose otherwise would go against both Holy Scripture and reason.
