>>You seem to want to parse the truth. The truth is, Christ said over and over, it is written, it is written, it is written.

Yes, but of course he wasn’t referring to the New Testament scriptures which had not yet been written, so what is your point? And as for parsing the truth, that’s a special expertise that has uniquely characterized Protestant theology from its infancy, which is why there are countless denominations ranging from straight-laced Baptists, to snake-handling Pentecostals, to those with female pastors who champion the cause of Planned Parenthood and gay rights.

Would you care to list out all the various "rites," schisms and occult hybrids that are tolerated with a wink and a nod in the Caribbean and South America, while you're at it? Is Roman Catholicism not in fact in schism from the Eastern Orthodox? They believe so, if I'm not mistaken

So, I'd say hubris in that regard is not particularly advisable but that doesn't seem to prevent it.

Parsing the truth or adding to the truth by Rome.

Which is worse?
