yes, neither is sola scriptura, or sole fide, etc, etc...
this namby pamby story telling that the church in the first century and thereafter was just nothing more than the ‘whole body of believers’ and not an actual hierarchial structure, centered in Rome, under Peter and his successors is just such an old, tired, rediculous ‘just so’ story, to deny the historicity of the catholic church.....
give it up already....
Biblical - no, because you have foregone what the Lord Jesus Christ and His authority said and commissioned to the apostle Paul. Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began.
Take ye heed what words Christ revealed to the apostle Paul and "my gospel" which Christ revealed to Paul to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ.
