“ So its possible to have an fallible interpretation that leads to the Truth?”

There is no infallible teaching by men.

We do have an inerrant Scripture.

The essentials are clear in Scripture.

The non-essentials are not clear.

Christians often have differences in areas of Scripture that are not clear.

In Essentials Unity,
In Non-Essentials Liberty,
In All Things Charity

>>>The essentials are clear in Scripture.

Oh, in other words the “indwelling spirit” is only present for the “important stuff” God has spoken, dont worry about the “unimportant stuff”. Didnt know some words by God we pay attention, the others we ignore.

But if you want to take that tact:

The issue of “Take Eat this is my body” and “those who do not eat my flesh have no life” is certainly “essential”, no?

So how can the “indwelling spirit” that leads a believer to Truth lead Luther to one Truth in regards to the Eucharist, and other Protestants, like Zwingli, to another? One, most certainly via logic, or in this case both according to the RCC, has had a failure of the indwelling spirit. In that case, it tells me that the concept of the “indwelling spirit is present in all to lead to the Truth” is false.
