Let me expand a bit, so I don't just sound like my typically snarky self. :-)

Broad and very comprehensive in its wording ...

This isn't Scripture, but the words of some commentator of whom you approve. Fine. This isn't Scripture either, but it's the words of some commentators of whom I approve:

Acts of the Ecumenical Council of II Nicaea, AD 787

What makes your commentator better than mine? The fact that you agree with him? The fact that John Calvin agrees with him? The fact that the Muslims agree with him? None of those facts is very persuasive to me.

I'll stick with the bishops of the universal church, whose teaching authority can be traced back to the apostles in an unbroken line. You can have your self-appointed, self-anointed "Bible teachers".

You asserted, "I'll stick with the bishops of the universal church, whose teaching authority can be traced back to the apostles in an unbroken line."

That sentence has so many magic thoughts in it, I'm wondering if you are a TV magician! But then I recall that it is the foundation of catholiciism to conflate their religious institution with the EKKLESIA established and still alive by and in Christ.
