God's word is, of course the final statement on anything, and the Catholic church is the only source of proper interpretation of that word...there is no other, there never will be, and no, we are not entitled to do it ourselves....
You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth.
Gods Word = Final Authority
&
Man’s Work: Catholic Church = Only Interpretation
God’s Word will still rule, when the Catholic Church and every other man made denomination is destroyed.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Hmmmm, no Catholic Church mentioned. The comment "there is no other" really disrespects the Holy Spirit terycarl.
Actually Rome has only officially "spoken" on a handful of scriptures..so when your priest gives a sermon, or you read the work of an RC author, or attend a bible study..they are all just giving you their personal interpretation of what the scripture says... so actually yes we not only have the right , but the duty before God to know Him through His word
