First, friend, I did not misread.

The Scriptures were inspired by the Holy Spirit - two thirds before the Christian assembly began on earth. God continued to inspire, preserve and collect His Sacred Words. In saying so, Christians assign infallibility where it was - on the God who soveignly worked through history and through fallible men to inspire, preserve and collect His Word. It is our faith in His attributes that gives us confidence in His Word.

Since the early collections were first assembled, they have been re examined and corrections made.

None of the inspired writers were infallible. God “moved them” as He willed, to write his word.

Protestantism has problems exactly because all men have the nature of Adam and consequently are fallible. We see the same in your gay and pedaephile priests. In the heresy of your bishops, in the lack of conversion of your “members”, who never attend. It is the nature of man.

Best.

“None of the inspired writers were infallible. God “moved them” as He willed, to write his word.”

This is not the point we are discussing. There were hundreds of fragments of writings and these were painstakingly sorted out for nearly 300 years and in the Synod of Rome AD 382, the canonical texts as sorted out by the early Church fathers were both, declared infallible as the Word of God and were “infallibly” assembled by Peter’s successors.

Protestantism came on to the scene 11 centuries later. All the saints, martyrs, theologians then and now have agreed that the CatholicChurch is the Church Christ founded by Peter. And whatever it binds or loosens on earth will be bound or loosened in heaven. That Petrine infallibility, never went away.

The lives of saints, martyrs, stigmatists, and theologians compel the conclusion of One Church, and One Truth, and for All times. It cannot be otherwise.

The doctrine and teaching of this one truth is the same in every church form Timbuktu to Russia to Alaska.

This is different from the neighborhood Foursquare Church pastors where congregants migrate from one church to another until the pastor interprets scripture acquiring to “their” views. This could be a gay pastor, or a Rev. Wright, or a Joel Osteen.
