What Protestant church is “the pillar and foundation of truth?”
To which Protestant denomination, dating back to Christ, should Christians take their disputes, as Christ commanded? How would we recognize this church that Christ founded? Or should we take our disputes to any member of the body of believers?
To which collection of books should Christians look to as Scripture? The Protestant, Catholic, or Orthodox canon? But isn’t an extra-biblical authority required to determine the Canon of Scripture? And wouldn’t this authority have to be infallible, for Scripture to be inerrant?
"The body of true believers, called the Bride of Christ in Scripture, is unified and Scripture is authoritative.Amen sister!
