Yes, the Scriptures contain divine revelation, but the Scriptures require an authority to determine what constitutes Scripture.

Could you lead us to the infallible Magisterium's commentary on the whole bible

-— Could you lead us to the infallible Magisterium’s commentary on the whole bible-—

Does the Bible require this?

Does the Catholic Church claim this?

Did I?

No.

So why do you ask? This is a red herring.

I presented a simple claim.

The Bible does not, and cannot, refer to itself.

IOW, no passage in Scripture mentions which books constitute the Bible.

So what infallible Authority determined the canon of Scripture infallibly?

You? Luther? Neither claim infallibility.

Few Protestants understand this fatal logical flaw in Luther’s tradition of Sola Scriptura. And even fewer have the courage to address it directly, without obfuscation.

R.C. Sproul is the rare exception. He recognized the Protestant’s dilemma, calling the Bible “ a fallible collection of infallible books.”

His incoherent answer didn’t solve the problem, but he had the courage to address it.
