Faith is not something that the Church ("Rome", to you) can give you. Nor was it my point. I simply pointed out that since it so happens that you find the Scripture believable you then in that particular instance believe the Church. That you don't believe the Church otherwise is something for you to ponder.

I do not agree that because a person believes Scripture, that it means he is also believes the "Church". In this case we know that it is the Roman Catholic Church for which this reference is meant. This is why we can honestly say that we do not believe that the "Church" is the arbiter of truth over the inspired Word of God. What should instead be pondered, rather than why a person who believes in Scripture does at some point not believe the Church, is why is the Church at odds with some points of Scripture?

So you believe the speech but not the speaker. That is silly.

why is the Church at odds with some points of Scripture?

Which points? Repeating it without putting evidence up is slander. Please show me.
