The Catholic Church is the steward of scripture. God started one church, the Catholic Church.

What!? That is a mere assertion, and not at all an answer to the question which your assertion requires to be answered. This is the third time, so either answer it or admit you cannot give an actual answer, and thus the often repeated we-gave-you-the-Bible assertion has no real weight.

For if it is to have any real import, it seems to be arguing that being an instrument and steward of Scripture makes such the infallible authority on it, so that those who dissent from these stewards are rebels against God. If not, then why invoke? Affirm or deny?

You would rather have this drunk deciding what is divinely inspired?

(Letter to Melanchthon, August 1, 1521, American Edition, Luther’s Works, vol. 48, pp. 281-82).

Quote:
“If we allow them - the Commandments - any influence in our conscience, they become the cloak of all evil, heresies and blasphemies”
(Comm. ad Galat, p.310).

Quote:
“Moses must ever be looked upon with suspicion, even as upon a heretic, excommunicated, damned, worse than the Pope and the devil”
(Commentary on Galatians).

Quote:
“I will not have Moses with his Law, for he is the enemy of the Lord Christ”
(Tischreden (Table Talk), L.C.12.s.17).

Quote:
“When the devil comes to tempt and harass you . . . indulge some sin in hatred of the evil spirit and to torment him . . . otherwise we are beaten if we are too nervously sensitive about guarding against sin . . . I tell you, we must put all the Ten Commandments, with which the devil tempts and plagues us so greatly, out of sight and out of mind.”
