[William Terrell]

All of which means you can't refute my reasoning. Citing scripture is meaningless when the scripture is misapplied. The good Lord gave us minds that reason so we can catch attempts to deceive.

I don't care about your reasoning. I have a clear scripture that explains the authority of the Church. Rather than reasoning around it, you have an obligation as a Christian to obey it, even more so if you claim, as a Protestant, to go by scripture alone.
