Logic says you can’t prove a negative. Now, put up or shut up on your claim.
While everyone is at it, I have the same questions about authority and interpretation, yet no one cares to answer. I have asked it different ways,still no answer.
I will ask it again. If we all have our own interpretation of Scripture, who’s right? Baptists? Southern Baptists? ELCA Lutherans? Missouri Synod Lutherans? PCUSA Presbyterians? Free Presbyterians? I would love to hear the answer.
BAck at ya.
I find it revealing the replies that you choose to respond to and the ones you decide to skip over.
I'd love to hear your answer regarding the disagreement CCC 969 has with John 14:6 and 1 Timothy 2:5.....

Jesus did not establish a denomination or the institution you trust for your eternal destiny, catholiciism.
JESUS as GOD established a body of believers, ALL OF WHOM have (as in present tense) Holy Spirit life in them identifying them as HIS EKKLESIA.
Arguing over verses and nuances is how some broke away from the cult of Rome. The fundsamental question you ought to seek to answer is 'What must I do to be born from above in the here and now, to be delivered from the wrath to come?'
There is no catholic sacramwent to accomplish this, no indulgence you can acquire to render this transformation, no priest holding up bread telling you to eat GOD'S soul and DIVINITY to claim for yourself this transformational SPIRITUAL BIRTH. ONLY God's Spirit can birth you anew. He will not do it as wages. He will do it upon genuine belief/faith in Whom He has sent for your Salvation.
JESUS IS the Way the Truth and The Life. Brown scapulae, purgatory cleansing, priestly feeding, adoration of Mary the Mother of Jesus, nor fidelity to Catholic sacraments will cause Jesus to owe you what He offers as His Grace not your wages.
This is not --contrary to what your tried to make it-- not about denominations. It is about how to be born from above, and GOD made it so simple even a catholic could find it, but only by laying aside pride which is fed by fealty to religious activities. Religion will kill the soul for eternity. That's why satan pushes that canard of 'who has it right' with such persistence!
ONLY God has it right, and you will find it only by His Grace in response to your profession, just as Peter found it, by his profession which JESUS hallmarked as the ROCK upon which He would build HIS CHURCH, His body of believers.

Regarding biblical antiquity ~ my Bible is sixteen centuries older than King James’ version - and that you can not deny...
King James and his bible were both piss-poor representations of what could have been. (IMO)

The hate on you and Catholicism was frightening wasn’t it?
