| | :::::::::VargasMilan, God bless you! Every seeker of truth who has the Bible can read for themselves what it says plainly, simply, clearly about the authority of the Church. That's why so many citations of the scriptures have been posted here about purgatory and the authority of the Church to clarify the true meaning of scripture and to teach the truth forever. It's just as Jesus said: "'''Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or ''whether'' I speak of myself.'''" John 7:16-17. It's the same with the Church. Those who truly will to do God's will will '''''know''''' if the doctrine of the Church Jesus founded on a rock, against which the gates of hell shall not prevail, is true. I suppose there will always be someone who will not hear what the Spirit says to the churches and neglect to hear the church. To this Jesus said, "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still." Let those that are blind leaders of the blind go their way and fall into a ditch. We must not weary of speaking the truth of God. We will all give account of ourselves to God. (Romans 14:1–15:6).

| | + | :::::::::Oh, but it is. The Bible says so. Jesus sent by the Father built his church on rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. It is the pillar and foundation of the truth, led into truth forever by the Spirit of truth. The doctrine of the Roman church is therefore guaranteed by Christ and the Bible to be the doctrine of him who sent Jesus. --[[User:Dataclarifier|Dataclarifier]] ([[User talk:Dataclarifier|talk]]) 00:56, 1 August 2020 (EDT) |
