Luther originally broke from the hierarchical Church founded by our Lord on the “rock” of St Peter and the Apostles, the original bishops.

What he broke from was the corruption that the RCC had become. He had the Bible. he read the Bible. He looked around. God spoke to him.

Ultimately though, even they will have to come to terms with the fact that the Bible was compiled by the same Catholic Church founded by Jesus in the first place.

Here we have the arrogance of Catholics on full display. A book wrote mostly by Hebrews and Jews but Catholics want the credit. The written Word of God that the Holy Spirit moved man to write but the Catholics want credit. There is no conundrum for me. The Word is Truth and Truth can set you free. A true Christian gives God the glory but Catholics always give the Vatican the glory.

I said the Church compiled the Bible, I never said she wrote it. But you knew that already. This is a typical straw-man fallacy.

The irony here is that someone who takes it upon himself to become a church-of-one based on the same Bible which states “there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation” can call a man who submits to the teaching authority of the Lord’s own Church arrogant.
