That way they’ll be SURE of getting Truth


absolutely, that is a sure way of getting the truth. but, how can you be sure you UNDERSTAND the truth?
for example, a Presbyterian and Baptist both will claim to believe in sola scriptura, the Presbyterian will find infant baptism in the Scriptures, the Baptist doesn’t.
only one can be right, yet both will claim the Scriptures as their authority.

luckily, Acts 8 shows us God has provided the answer and a SURE way to get and understand the truth.

The Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth of Jesus lied when He said that.

Don't you believe the words of Jesus?

Yup and someone has yet to give one example of an infant being baptized anywhere in the NT. It's built on supposition, just like the Catholic position.

Well, it's sure not the magisterium cause that's never even mentioned in the Bible.

And then you have the problem of who is going to interpret the magisterium.

The Catholic church can't even agree on it's own teachings, it changes doctrine and dogma from one council to another, and Catholics are all over the map about what they believe.

Having the catechism is no guarantee in the least of ensuring consistency and constancy of *the faith*.

Roman Catholicism, the church that never always changes.
