But there is no infallible interpreter in Man. Sinful Man will always put his bent on Scripture. Thus we say Scripture interprets Scripture and to trust Scripture alone because the wiles of the devil through man is completely sneaky.

Besides the Scriptures are defined by the word "pure" - "Thy word is very pure" Psalm 119:140. If it is not pure, it is not Scripture. Thus we can completely trust it, meditate on it and Pray it back to God in praise and supplication.

But has not the doctrine of Papal Infallibility has led to the position that Mary's sons were not James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas and has led to override a host of Scriptures (as the beginning of this thread shows).

It certainly has. For if they are her sons, then the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is false and so are a host of other positions.

The real problem is making a Goddess and worshiping her. One whom you say you must go through to get to the Lord Jesus Christ. Whom you say Reparations are due and is Sinless. This is how you make a Goddess.

But the Scripture are clear "All have Sinned and Fall Short of the Glory of God" (Romans 3) and all Mankind falls under that save one, The Lord Jesus Christ Himself. He alone was born of a Virgin so that the Sin and Death, through the bloodline of man, could not infect him. He was begotten not made.

He alone is Sinless and the only one worthy to pay the price for the sins of folks like you and me.

Worship him alone and turn away from this Goddess.

That certainly has been the case with the Reformation and is exactly the reason God established a Church with a teaching authority to bind the Word of God to the languages spoken by the common man. It is done through the same process and organization as the initial canon of Scripture, guided by the same Holy Spirit and is not left to man to decide each for himself.

"Thus we say Scripture interprets Scripture and to trust Scripture alone because the wiles of the devil through man is completely sneaky."

15th century snake oil!

Catholics do worship him alone and recognize no goddess. As for Mary I do not worship her, but I do love her as I love my own mother and honor her as the mother of the Savior.
