The Christian's founder is Jesus Christ. The believer in Christ follows Him and Him alone. One can go straight to Christ without benefit of having to go through Mary or a priest.

The history of the RCC and Protestantism has long been debated.

. Was Luther perfect? No.

Is the RCC with its practices of idolatry and a priesthood not found in the NT perfect? No.

The Christian is to base their belief on what we have in the Word. It is the only inspired word we have from God.

No, but Jesus was.

“Is the RCC with its practices of idolatry and a priesthood not found in the NT perfect? No.”

Except there is no idolatry and the priesthood IS found in the NT. See, you actually have to make things up to attack the Catholic Church there. That actually hints at perfection logically.

“The Christian is to base their belief on what we have in the Word. It is the only inspired word we have from God.”

It always fascinates me that Protestants invent things about how the Word is to be viewed that are not actually “in the Word” and exclude the actual Word made flesh as well as the work of the Holy Spirit.

But we have been told he thought he was omniscient! Must have been that binding canon.

You should know by now that Scripture says whatever they need it to. It is compelled as an abused servant to support Rome.
