And the popes decrees are not infallible
And then you get the logical inconsistancy of one pope saying something supposedly infallible
and then another pope saying something different
I agree on papal infallibility being wrong
And then you have popes that we full on perverts and drunks
but the thing is you're trading what is a tool to stamp out heresy with the chance for heresies to grow
And others who lusted after power and greed
stop talking about popes, we're talking about the idea of interperation infallibility
And then others who were controlled by whoever was controlling Italy at the time
along witht he holy roman empire
yeah, anyway
We both don't like the pope
except protestants don't have infallibility of scripture
This is the thing man
no wait
scripture interperation
yeah, that
In scripture itself, Paul writes warning the early church of false teachers
and false prophets, yeah
The thing is, there has always and will always be those people
The impetus and responsibltiy is upon members of the church and church leaders to call those people out for what they are
hacks and fakes
out to scam people's money
Problem is with such a system you get heresies easily
or simply lead them away from the truth
because church leaders will disagree with each other unless you have robust doctrine
Not if you have Church elders who are switched on
And the church leaders/pastor has a doctrinal statement
Which pretty much every church has
im not talking about crappy churches though
Like massive mega churches that are more like music concerts
And a hip vibe
what I don't like about protestantism they also took Tradition out
And appealing to christian consumerism.. of coffee mug feel good crap
That is a problem I see man
I think it sucks
but I have to go now
Tradition is actually pretty awesome in a lot of ways
But it went back to a simpler sort of worship
Plain churches and whatnot
Anyways, good convo bro
