[daniel1212]

The question is, did the church begin under the premise of the assured veracity of the magisterium that was the steward of Scripture, or on the basis of Scriptural substantiation in word and in power, and testifying to Scripture being the supreme transcendent supreme standard for obedience and testing and establishing truth claims as the wholly Divinely inspired and assured, Word of God?

If there’s a disagreement between two parties then it obviously necessitates a third to resolve this difference.

It just seems to me though there is no way to determine truth from Scripture alone as opinions are like noses, to use an old euphemism

no one single individual is perfect all the time and therefore everyone needs correction...if one doesn’t accept these two as plainly obvious through reason and experience then there really isn’t much left to say anyway.

The issue is not the warrant for the teaching office, and for synods to settle disputes, which Westminster itself affirms as being Scriptural, but that an infallible magisterium is essential for this, for determination of assurance of Truth.

Do you understand this is your position?

Yes I understand that is my position.
