“It still sounds like you get to decide what does or doesn’t contradict Scripture.”

Everyone makes that decision one way or another, Catholics just choose to delegate matters to their church authorities. Still, they have all made the individual decision that the church authorities’ interpretations do not contradict Scripture.

Likewise, not all Protestants are Biblical scholars, so many choose to delegate those things to others, making a conscious decision to trust their judgement. So, I don’t think that the fact that a judgement was made about which interpretation is correct is really the important thing. What is important is that the correct interpretation is arrived at.

Quote-Likewise, not all Protestants are Biblical scholars, so many choose to delegate those things to others, making a conscious decision to trust their judgement.

And that was a trap I fell into when I believed Rome’s gospel, according to Rome, of Good Friday and Easter Sunday, instead of Paul’s teaching and gospel of Passover and First Fruits..

Really is another gospel.. and it was unnerving how I was following a ‘template’ of truth (aka counterfeit) instead of Genuine Truth..

And I am not sure protestant biblical scholars would see the subtle changes Rome has made.. the world runs on a roman calendar so things like good Friday and easter Sunday are ingrained christian traditions that would seem normal to even biblical scholars or Protestants who follow sola scriptura..

Sola scriptura except when it comes to Passover and First Fruits..
They trust Rome and her judgememt and her holy substitutes of good Friday and easter Sunday..

And there is a difference.. one is according to ‘Scriptura’ and the other, according to Rome..
