Now do you understand why I say the WORD has priority OVER ANY human interpreters of the WORD?

Yes I understand where you are coming from. I am trying to get you to understand where I am coming from but you keep avoiding my questions.

1. What Church?
2. Where does the Bible tell us the Truth is found?

I am not not a "protestant." I'm not protesting anything. "Protestant" is an old issue from hundreds of years ago.

If you don’t believe the Pope is the Vicar of Christ then you are a Protestant. But I do understand if you don’t want to identify with them.

I am a Christian. There were plenty of those around who believed the doctrine of the Trinity before any council met to make a statement.

Who were they and where can I read about them.

If no one had the trinitarian opinion, then why did the council meet?

To combat the Arian heresy. What did your Church do to fight this heresy?

If you don’t believe the Pope is the Vicar of Christ then you are a Protestant. But I do understand if you don’t want to identify with them.

This is clearly extra-biblical opinion, PL. The bible does not contain the word "Pope" or the expression "Vicar of Christ." It's simply not there.

That automatically renders it a matter of personal opinion.

You realize, of course, that your church claims to be in fellowship with other communions that do NOT recognize the "primacy" of your leader?

THE CHURCH is the mystical body of Christ; that is, ALL who believe in Him, past, present, and future. It is and always has been bigger than what "denominational" sign you hang in the front lawn.

Jesus HIMSELF is the Way, THE TRUTH, and the life. He is THE WORD. The Bible contains HIS WORD. Truth is found IN THE BIBLE.
