No you don't unless you are having regular apparitions and visions. You got your Bible from the magisterium of the Catholic Church.
Nope. The Bible was inspired by God and recognized as Scripture long before the Catholic church came into existence.
God, not Catholicism, is the author of Scripture.
And all the claims to the contrary, that the Catholic church WROTE the Bible have been proved to be bogus time and again.
We go through the Spirit of God by whom we are sealed until the day of redemption.
My going directly to God does not result in MY having visions and apparitions.
You've got that backwards.
No, that's Catholic territory, claiming special revelation.
Don't for get that Satan can appear as an angel of light if it suits his purposes.
2 Corinthians 1:14-15 1 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
Catholics lack a great deal of discernment considering what they so readily believe.
Which didn't even exist until after 300 AD.
It has been well documented that the Canon was around a number of other places, well protected and well used.
However, the Vatican Cult of Tyrannical !!!!CONTROL!!!! magicsterical hogwash did manage to corner a lot of the Euporean etc. world after 300 AD.
And, as we can see from this timeline, the UNMITIGATED HOGWASH so chronically spewed by the Vatican Cult as being totally and homogeneously in place since Noah [wellll since Pentecost anyway] . . . has been cobbled together piecemeal over the many centuries well after 400 AD.

However, just as we've seen with the stats of the authentic self-proclaimed RC behaviors posted. . . they don't seem very eager to deal honestly and candidly with the fact of the piecemeal dogma hogwash cobbled together over the centuries after 400 AD, either.
What a stinking pile of farcical pretentions! And they seem to think that God winks at such horrific idolatrous, blasphemous heretical outrageousness.
