Bible Note: Joe, As you know from my previous posts and profile, I am Catholic and so have different understanding of the Church and it's role in relation to Scripture. I believe the Holy Spirit will according to the promise of Jesus lead the Church into all truth and protect it from doctrinal error. In this way through the Holy Spirit, the Church preserves the unity of the faithful when doctrinal disputes arise. Dogma is nothing more than authoritative exegesis on disputed points of scriptural interpretation among members or factions within the Church. And there are only a handful of passages where the Church has done this. Most of the bible is open to a variety of interpretations that do not touch on any particular doctrine issues. I know we will disagree on this point but that is where I am coming from and I recognize it is a minority opinion on this forum. Emmaus |
