If there is no one on earth who can infallibly interpret Scripture or infallibly teach Christian doctrine, then why does any individual Christian have to obey the teachings of any denomination?
Wouldn’t each Christian be his own “denomination”?
.
Only the Holy Spirit can interpret scripture, and he only does it for the individual that reads prayerfully.
No church can interpret scripture; that is the doctrine of nicolaitanism that Yeshua denounced.
Wherever two or more are gathered in his name is where he is found. He doesn’t live in boxes built with hands.

No Christian has to obey the teachings of any denomination. Christians choose to walk together when they agree. The Bible is filled with passages of individual discernment.
1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.
If there was an infallible source on earth, why do these verses exist? Instead these verses should say, "Only believe the spirits from Rome" or "If some preaches a gospel contrary to the Pope"
Are we to look towards God and His written word, or are we to look towards men?
Galatians 1:11 For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel. 12 For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
The gospel was delivered by the apostles. The teachings of the Roman Catholic Church not found in scripture are part of man's gospel: taught from one man to another. I'll stick with the True Gospel as revealed by God through the apostles.
While we are to strive for unity, this world is imperfect and divisions are a fact.
The idea of an infallibly magisterium is silly. No one can say "This institution is infallible", while they acknowledge that their individual opinion is fallible.
