How can he just give over his understanding of Scripture to the authority of Rome?

John 25:21 But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.

If you take the time to read Church history, you would find yourself in awe. Take for instance, did you know that during the first few centuries that Christians were accused and persecuted for cannibalism? Did you know that the Scribes were sola scripture? Did you know that 400,000+ lambs were sacrified from the time of Christ til the fall of Jerusalem but to no avail. Did they love God no less than less than you love Christ? These good people were mislead...

John:6:54 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.

2000 years - The Church of the Apostles which Christ specifically gave authority to Peter. If Christ did not want to dictate authority, he simply would not have singled out Peter, but spoke to the 12 as individuals to go off and preach.

34,000 Christian denominations all preaching something different. Ever wonder? If you ever knew and you can.

So what guarantees you that your one authority cannot be misled? As a student of church history, surely you admit it has been misled in times past.

Scripture is the only foundation and protection against falsehood and Christ is the only head of the Church. We are to search the Scriptures and see if what we are being taught is true.
