All you do is skip by what I comment on and ask more irrelevant questions.

Because your position amounts to each individual being their own pope.

You pretend that without any frame of reference each individual can just “be open to the Holy Spirit” and will instantly be guided to the truth from Scripture, as you stated in post 162.

I submit that if that were true, we would not see such divergent understandings of the meaning of various Scripture passages, or in the overarching themes.

I chose the subjects previously cited because in each case you have some Protestant churches on agreeing with Catholics and other Protestant churches disagreeing.

And lastly, it seems that you would meet that objection by noting the need to set the church aside and rely on private revelation, as though a consensus would appear.
