Riiight, and by what authority do you believe you can make this claim? Your own word?
Or wait, let me guess you're going to say something like "Not by my own authority but the Word of God as Scripture says...", in other words a circular argument.
And why do you think that the Catholic church’s claims to authority are valid?
Is there any other basis besides your own personal preference?
If it weren't for circular arguments and double standards the protestants wouldn't have any.
Oh no, not my own word.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
And no, I don't expect you to understand that.
