-— 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.

Here's the problem Thomas.. if Rome claims that scripture requires "authority" to determine its meaning and Rome claims It IS THAT AUTHORITY ...and if Rome says that individual interpretation is not allowed...THEN it has the responsibility to provide it..

In the end it means your priest or "theologians "are no more "capable" of giving a correct rendering of the scriptures.. than say I am...or my Pastor is..

Well, then, since the RCC has not put out an infallible commentary on its infallible interpretation of Scripture, then neither it nor any Catholic is in any position to criticize or condemn anyone for making their own.

If they're left people high and dry for an infallible interpretation, then people most certainly have the option to interpret it as they see fit and the RCC can't say its wrong because they have nothing that they claim is right (correct) to which to compare it.

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

Therefore..

Catholic Tradition does not, and cannot, refer to itself.

The above, as we all know, is untrue.

Please show the “infallible declaration” by the Catholic Church that the books they include are scripture and no others.
