I see no reason to because it’s just going to devolve into “you’re just giving a Catholic Church teaching” so “how can you claim church teaching is right but I’m wrong” which is the same question asked and answered in post 34. At least answered in part as that post demonstrates from reason alone how there is a need for an infallible authority apart from Scripture.

If you don’t agree state your reasons why you believe the arguments (both or just one if you wish there are two arguments there) are faulty. If you don’t wish to do that then our conversation is concluded because we are never going to get ANYWHERE if you won’t at least engage the arguments there. This is because I’ll never be able to convince you there is a need for an infallible magesterium and you’ll never be able to convince me sola scriptura is correct. So we’ll just continue to go round and round accomplishing nothing.

You can dance that dance with another willing Catholic. I’m not interested.

Your entire premise of post 34 is fallacious. The infallible authority on earth is the Holy Spirit NOT the Catholic Church. The Holy Spirit is given to individual believers who, as I have shown, are responsible to consult scripture as to the veracity of any teacher. The Catholic Church has usurped the place of the Holy Spirit in the lives of it's followers. So your entire attempt at putting the Catholic Church in place of the Holy Spirit is anti scripture.
