...” Whereas the Protestant can ultimately submit only to his own judgment, which he knows to be fallible...
Oh poppycock!....
The Bible is very clear that those who “thirst” after righteousness will be filled....that the man and woman of God may be prefect, mature, complete...’thoroughly furnished’ unto every good work.
2nd Peter further tells us ...
“He has given us “ALL THINGS” that pertain unto life and Godliness.... THROUGH the knowledge of Him....
...and further states....Him who has ‘called us’ to Glory and Virtue....and ‘given us’ great and precious promises...BY THESE we are partakers of the divine nature.”
Are you then saying that God didn’t mean what he’s saying in these verses written to us??????
To that I would add what Christ Himself said in John 6:45:
“It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me—”
Those that come to Christ are taught by God the Father, not by the unholy potentate on his Roman throne, not by the magisterium, not by bishops or priests.
It was interesting to me that the writer of the article addressed following some organization or religion. Not once did he mention following Christ alone.
Thank you for telling the truth. it is needed.
